In October 2016, had very recently been staying at her fathers home in hopes she could show him and everyone that she was turning her life around for not only her son, but herself as well. On October 25th 2016, Donna Kay and her ‘father’ got into an argument. He says over an ex boyfriend. Donna told others that day that it was over money. She needed to make $400 to stay there, and she also believed if she didn’t that her ‘father’ would lose his house. Around this time her ‘father’ was pulling a lot of the strings with when she was able to see her son. He made his step mom and dad feel like he was the only one who really “cared” about her son. Even more than Donna Kay herself. I can’t tell you how many times We watched Donna Kay cry her eyes out over som**hing he had done to hinder her from seeing him. I mean, she wasn’t even allowed to push the basket at Walmart if he was with them. Donna Kay was young and like any of us, made mistakes. She had some deep rooted issues from her biological parents. Mom dropped her off when she was a baby and never came back. Donna tried to meet up with her when she was about 14, and she got stood up. That hurt her beyond measure. On top of that, her “ fathers” mother raised Donna Kay and her sister. The “father” didn’t step in the picture until about 2015. So of course, she had both daddy & mommy issues, she was troubled. But she was so much more than her issues or mistakes. She is beautiful, funny, caring, and the kind of person who makes every day fun. So, in an attempt to get this money, she thought she would try to buy some m**h and sale it. She had hung around a few people that had done that and I guess thought if they could do it, so could she. One of her last google searches was “How much is m**h worth”. She didn’t know much about it clearly. Somehow, she came to know a couple older guys by the name of Carter Meyer & Aubrey Schultz. When her and her “father” had the argument, he had basically told her to take what little she had there and leave. We know from call records that she called several people trying to get a ride. Remember, she had only had this phone for 2-3 days t this pint so she didn’t have many numbers saved. When she couldn’t reach anyone, for some reason she decided to call Carter. She had told a friend about Carter earlier that day but said she got weirded out by some things he was saying so she wasn’t going to go through with it. I can only imagine she felt desperate at that moment, and like she had no other choice, so she decided to call him and go through with her idea. Carter Meyer picked Donna Kay up from just a little down from her “fathers” house, along with his roommate Aubrey Schultz. Donna Kay told her pawpaw that she had met a great guy named Carter, and that they were gonna hang out and watch movies. Her pawpaw knew Donna and her “father” had a disagreement so he asked her what she was going to do or where she went. She told him that because what else could she say? She loved her grandma and pawpaw more than anything in the world and she couldn’t stand the thought of them being disappointed in her. Carter Meyer went to jail again shortly after Donna Kay’s disappearance for drugs. He was somewhat of a heavy dealer. The detective did question him while he was in jail, he admitted to picking her up. He says he dropped her back off in the same spot. He also refused a polygraph. This happened a few months after she disappeared. There’s never been another official interview with him. They’ve never tried to pursue it further. This man and his roommate have been in and out of jail/prison for years. So they took his word? Who cares he refused the polygraph? Almost two years later Donna Kay is still not home. No one has heard her voice. Why are these two men out living their life without a care in the world? There was a witness that saw the two men and a girl get into a dark colored suv and leave about midnight, only to return around 8 a.m the next morning with no young girl. Just the two men. Both men have extensive criminal histories. Aubrey Schultz stabbed a man 21 times for being homosexual. Does this sound like good men? Who don’t lie? Why isn’t MOCO Sheriffs office doing anything? Donna Kay needs to be brought home. Donna Kay deserves Justice.

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. Ours was ok, Bradley was missed, as always, and we are also healing from a few passings in the family. It has been almost three years and five months since Bradley went missing without a trace. are no closer to finding out what happened to him than they were when he went missing. It's very frustrating, especially knowing how they handled the case to begin with. To our knowledge, they haven't investigated any leads we've given them nor will they ask for outside help like we've asked. Thank you all for your continued support. As always, I've attached a picture and info on Bradley and his disappearance. CCPDs number is also on there, if you have any information on the case feel free to call them. Detective Alvarado is the lead detective on the case. Again thank you all and we hope that we can find Bradley or learn his fate.

!!!!!!!! MISSING CHILD !!!!!!!!

This post will be reshared every Friday. Any updates will be added to this thread.

Heather Cannon has been missing for over a decade.

Details surrounding her disappearance is one hell of a mystery. It is not clear the exact last date seen, as it is reported as 8/27, but there are reports of people being with her on the 28th.

She was officially reported missing early September, the following month. At the time, Heather was staying with her father. Her father was incarcerated on the 29th but released on the 30th of August. Her family failed to report her missing for a week.

She was initially classified as a run away. Her family has a history of drug abuse/trouble with law enforcement. It is unknown if her father, who is now deceased, had any hand in her murder.
Family has pointed fingers at the father, who was supposed to have her the week she went missing.

There have been many rumors, none of which will be humored here unless substantiating evidence comes to light.

The family and friends have provided contradictory information on her last location. Currently it is believed she went missing from the residence of her fathers friend, where her father was also staying.

This investigation is on going and is mind-blowingly disturbing. Any information, as always, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-545-8477

Kelly was last seen at approximately 8:30 p.m. in Gilmer, Texas on January 5, 1992. She was leaving her place of employment, Northeast Texas Video on Buffalo Street, and heading to the bank around the corner to make her usual night deposit. The bank's security cameras showed that an individual did make the night deposit, but it is unclear whether or not the person was Kelly. She has never been heard from again.

Kelly's car was discovered later in the evening in her employer's parking lot. One of the vehicle's tires had been slashed. The other three tires were intact. All of Kelly's personal belongings, including her purse, were inside the car, but her keys were missing.

Lakiesha was last seen at her residence on east Fannin Street in her hometown of Marshall, Texas on the morning August 13, 1999. She has never been heard from again.

It's possible that Lakiesha left of her own accord. She was a habitual runaway in 1999, but never stayed gone for long and always returned home on her own. She often associated adult Hispanic male migrant workers. Lakiesha's mother had planned to press charges against the men for providing her with drugs and alcohol and having sexual contact with her.

Lakiesha may have been in the company of an adult Hispanic male after her 1999 disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.
