On January 21, 1968, Army Sgt. First Class Billy D. Hill, of Wichita, Kansas, was killed in a helicopter that was shot down near Khe Sahn in Vietnam. His remains were not found at the time, and he was declared Missing In Action. Efforts were made, over the years, to find Sgt. Hill and one other soldier who was missing after the same incident, but both soldiers remained missing. In 2014, the remains of unknown soldiers who were found near Khe Sahn and returned in 1989 were analyzed, once again, and DNA matched Sgt. Hill to family members. After almost forty-eight years, Billy D. Hill will be coming home to be laid to rest in Killeen, Texas.
There are still over 1600 missing from the Vietnam War. Here is a link to the Defense POW/MIA website.
Has anyone ever wondered why Hollywood and Washington DC does not spend much time on questions of spiritual evolution? Has anyone ever wondered why science classes in public schools do not teach very much about the DNA similarities between humans and other animals on this planet? Has anyone ever wondered why transcendence of baser tendencies, only needed in times of serious threat to survival, are discouraged in America and written off as idealistic and "silly"? The fenced in pen may be warm and temporarily safe and the corporate farm's brand of "feed" may be convenient, but where do all the sheep go after living in sheltered captivity?
If you have blue eyes and blond hair, yet your so called parents are both Roma, otherwise known as Gypsies, you might not really belong to them. If you have so called brothers and sisters who not only do not resemble you in any way, but also do not resemble each other, they might not actually be related to each other, or related to you. Or; if your birthday falls within a month or two of your brother or sister's birthday, and your "mom" claims to have had five of you during the same calendar month of the same year, your genetic connection to your "family" might be rather shaky. This, apparently, is the sad case for this little girl. She was found in Greece, living in a Roma family, and while the parents claimed that she is theirs, they also claimed numerous other children as theirs, giving multiple and changing stories about how the little girl came to live with them. She has been removed from the Roma community and has been found, by DNA testing, to have no connection to them. Greek authorities have nicknamed her "Maria".
The imposters claiming to be this little girl's parents have been arrested and charged with kidnapping, but in the mean time, no one has gotten the facts and the actual story of little Maria's true identity. Greece has put together posters in several languages and would like everyone to share her picture, in hopes of finding her real family.
"I think you need to do some more reading. There is every reason to believe that the child in Missouri is NOT Loyda's missing daughter.".....This was in response to this post, concerning the black market purchase of a little girl from a shady Guatamalan human trafficking ring.
In 2008, a Missouri doctor named Timothy Monahan, and his wife, Jennifer, bought themselves a little girl in Guatamala from a group of black market thugs. This little girl, Anyeli Rodriguez, had been kidnapped from her biologiacl parents, and the police in Guatamala were looking for her everywhere. Her face was on missing persons posters all over her home country. Then, in 2010, little Anyeli was traced to the Monahans in Missouri, and DNA testing was carried out to confirm her identity. The child that the Monahans were in the process of whitewashing (she is Guatamalan) and calling "Karen", is, indeed, Anyeli. So the courts in Anyeli's country determined that this adoption was not legal, and that Anyeli must be returned to her natural parents. The only problem is........the Monahans are American, rich, and white, and have simply decided to ignore the court order from another country. Yep. Oh...they MUST be better parents......they are white Americans! They can naturally have anything they want, that money can buy; even other peoples' children. They also apparently bought themselves a court decision here in the United States that says they don't have to give the little girl back, because the Hague Convention did not have an agreement with Guatamala at the time Anyeli was kidnapped. That came two years later. And so they contend themselves to hold Anyeli hostage, lying to her about her own mother, while her own mother suffers. Trust me, Jennifer Monahan....it does not matter how much money your prisoner's true mother does or does not have; she loves Anyeli more than you ever will.
The comment also deals with reasons why Anyeli is not Loyda Rodriguez's child. Yet, no reasons are given. And the comment came from the same part of the country where Lisa Irwin disappeared, and where Anyeli is being held hostage by Dr. and Mrs. Monahan. It appears that a "finders keepers losers weepers" modicum has been applied in this case, leaving a tearful mother to pick up the pieces, advised by the good doctor and his wife to just forget about her baby! So I guess that's the biggest reason why Anyeli is not Loyda's baby, since the DNA states otherwise.
DNA matchups. Kidnapped kids. Finders keepers losers weepers. In an interview with the Monahans that took place in 2011 with CBS, after they ignored the court order and were declared in contempt of the court that ordered Anyeli back to her native country and to her parents, this is what Jennifer Monahan had to say to about DNA. Keep in mind, her husband is a doctor; they both know that DNA does not lie:
“We actually believe that DNA testing is a very important part of the process, but unfortunately in Guatemala, it’s the only part of the process that holds preeminence. And because they use property rights arguments to declare Karen, as we understand it, like DNA is sort of viewed as a title, and we strongly feel that Karen isn’t property … it’s very important that we know the whole truth, and not just DNA, and that that be done in a safe context.”
"They", to whom Jennifer refers are the Guatamalan government and court. And "They" have their own ways of wording their own laws, and governing their own citizens. That is not our affair. And Anyeli is one of "Them", not one of us. The Monahans' refusal to give Anyeli back not only robs her natural parents of the right to bring up their own child, but it sets the stage for Guatamala to respond in kind if and when a kidnapped American child is found in Guatamala. Does it sound like the good doctor and his wife care about that? No? Well......they are upper middle class white Americans with plenty of money. Why should they care about the safety of the rest of us? They have what they want; everyone else should just go away, especially Anyeli's natural mother. She played her part in the grand scheme of things......she had a beautiful baby girl, who got stolen from her and sold to the Monahans. It is no longer appropriate to say "adopted by the Monahans" because the Guatamalan court ruled that it was NOT an adoption. Since money exchanged hands, and the transaction was determined not to be an adoption, it is fair to say that Anyeli was bought.....by the very woman who "feels" that Anyeli isn't property. Oh! I keep forgetting; it's KAREN that isn't property. Anyeli, on the other hand, is a stolen, bought, and sold commodity.
Generally, DNA testing is done in a lab, in REALITY, not in a "context". Just what is Jennifer Monahan trying to say? She sounds very much to me like a woman who knows that what she is doing is very, very wrong, yet does not want to face it or admit it. This is one of the many faces of human trafficking, and Jennifer Monahan's latest novelty is a real mother's broken heart.
It's Monday again, the day that I tell Terri Horman, defacto blame in the disappearance of Kyron Horman and sometime recluse, about a cold case in American history that got solved, against all odds, to the amazement of the community and the confounding of the guilty party. This one will be one that has not had any publicity since it was solved, and the suspect has been found guilty and sent to prison for life.
In 1991, a young man named Eddie Wingo, of Maryland, decided to sneak into open, first story bedroom windows of children in Rockville, Maryland, whose houses he had "cased", kidnap the children, molest them, and place them back into their bedrooms before morning. Seriously........Eddie Wingo must be crazy. But this is what he did. Since the children, two boys and one girl, were at home in their beds when their parents woke them up for school, they were not immediately believed when they each told a story of a man who came through the window, took them, and later put them back. But DNA told a story of molestation by a stranger in each case. Eddie was not caught right away, though.
Fast forward to November of 1994. Eddie did it again. Only this time, he cased out a house in Sterling, Virginia, where he worked for a contruction company. He used the same method of operation of sneaking in through an unlocked, lower story bedroom window, and kidnapped a six year old boy. He drove the little boy to Rockville, Maryland, and sexually assaulted him. But then, he apparently did not have enough time to get the little boy back home, to Sterling, Virginia, and take him back inside his house, through the window, without getting caught, so Eddie took the boy to a cemetery in Rockville and left him there! The little boy provided a description of Eddie Wingo, his vehicle, and all of the events, from when he was kidnapped to when he was left in Rockville. The DNA left on the boy told the rest of the story. It also matched DNA saved from the unsolved Maryland cases dating from 1991. It also matched Eddie Wingo, after they found his car and the child was able to identify him. Out of the mouths of babes.................Eddie Wingo's in prison now, for the rest of his life. His appeal didn't work out, either. He was also found guilty of the three other attacks on children.
The striking thing about these cold cases is this: the children who claimed that they were taken from their bedrooms via the open windows were initially not believed, because they were children. In actuality, their accounts of the incidents and their descriptions of Eddie Wingo and his vehicle were more accurate than adults' eyewitness accounts of crimes usually are. Eddie never thought he would get caught or go to jail because he was picking on children, and he thought no one would listen to what a little kid had to say. He was wrong. Kyron was abducted from his school. I am still convinced that one day, some wise person will start listening to some of the children, Terri, who were around Kyron the morning he went missing. It took three years to apprehend Eddie Wingo. Hopefully, it won't take that long to find Kyron.
This is the general vicinity where Eddie Wingo abandoned his last victim. It's amazing that he really thought no one would ever figure out who did it. Below is Kyron Horman. Anyone with information about Kyron should contact the FBI immediately.
Police have now determined, via DNA, that the body of a small child found in an empty home in Detroit is, indeed, Mariha Trenice Smith. Rest in peace, Mariha.
