Another dismembered body found....now the waiting game starts again

My daughter JESSIE FOSTER is an international endangered missing woman and suspected to be a victim of a human trafficking ring and perhaps was killed by a truck driver serial killer (North Las Vegas, NV USA police file #: 06-9384 / RCMP Serious Crimes Division - Kamloops, BC Canada police file #: 2006-9538 / National Crime Identification #: M-53564235).

America's Most Wanted’s link to my daughter's case, November 15, 2008 – http://www.amw.com/missing_persons/brief.cfm?id=60803 and ACB Nightline: Hunting Humans on the Highways, May 14, 2009 – http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7582591 both suggest that Jessie is just the unfound victim of the same fate that became Lindsay Marie Harris, Jodi Marie Brewer & Misty Marie Saens.

Now there is another report of a dismembered body found in Glenwood Springs, Colorado – according to Fox News, June 15, 2009, (who also reported on Jessie’s case in connection to the trucker driver / highway / serial killer scenario) – http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,526244,00.html.

This report bothers me more than some of the others for a couple of reasons…first of all, simply because it is another dismembered body and according to the AMW and Nightline reports, Jessie’s is a possible victim as the other three women sadly are but has just not been found yet.

Also, this is a young woman, as Jessie is, and there is extensive dental work – which Jessie has had. It is also noted that there are several tattoos; which as far as we know, Jessie never even had one, but that is not to say she never got one at sometime.

My daughter was also thought to possibly be one of the 11 victims found in the west mesa outside of Albuquerque, NM ~ http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/crime_krqe_albuquerque_canadian_mom_searching_for_daughter_in_west_mesa_200903082056 and also one time they thought she was the Kilgore Jane Doe, found burnt to death in 2008 ~ http://www.tylerpaper.com/article/20080318/NEWS01/803180327 - is the article on the case and here is an article on Jessie and this case ~ http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=722cb4c3-bd75-4bbe-9b0f-a393cd22ef18.

There is much more on my daughter's case available online. Jessie is the most known unknown missing person, worldwide on the Internet. I have not stopped for over 3 years in the search for my daughter JESSICA EDITH LOUISE FOSTER.

I have sent this to the police in North Las Vegas, NV USA and here in Kamloops, BC Canada. Please start praying that this is not my girl. Glendene Grant.

Trafficking is Torture

http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=AU&hl=en-GB&v=BdW05BC4emw
THIS IS WHY I NEED TO FIND JESSIE NOW!!!
============================================
FROM THE POST AT THE INSPIRATION ROOM (dot) COM
Human Trafficking is Torture by any other name

Emma Thompson stars in this graphic, disturbing new PSA commissioned by The Body Shop and the Helen Bamber Foundation , designed to drive legislation to fight human trafficking. Thompson’s experience of rough forced sex is shown from the view of her assailant as she relates two sets of memories. On one hand we have Elena, a girl with hope and optimism for the future. On the other hand we have Maria, a numbed prostitute who is often forced into as many as 40 sex acts daily. The final text: Women enslaved by sex trafficking lose more than just their names. Trafficking is torture.

The Torture By Any Other Name ad is online at YouTube, accessible for people 18 and over.

Apart from spreading the message about trafficking, the participants hope to drive viewers to petitions, online and in Body Shop stores, which will grant reprieve from deportation for 30 days for women arrested when brothels are busted and sex gang rings are broken up. Currently, they are imprisoned and shipped home. The Helen Bamber foundation is seeking time to counsel and help as well as convince the U.K. government to ratify the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings.

Credits
The Torture by any other name ad was developed at Quiet Storm Films, written by Neal Colyer. Filming was directed and edited by Steven Sander, with director of photography Caren Moy, executive producer Kate Pirouet, and stylist Kathleen McGarry.

“It’s quite horrific what goes on, and I think [the United Kingdom is] the worst offender in Europe,” says Quiet Storm executive producer Kate Pirouet. Pirouet says in Britain criminals who formerly focused on drug distribution now trade in humans, as the penalties if caught are, incredibly, more lenient. Pirouet says the team met Thompson on a Sunday, the only time she could get away from her current project, Last Chance Harvey, with Dustin Hoffman. After Thompson made them all breakfast, the group quickly concepted the film and shot it in a few hours. “She’s a real inspiration to work with,” says Pirouet. “We just shot it in one of her rooms in her home.”

Quickly cut together by Sander, the viral went live three days later, on the day of Anita Roddick’s memorial service in London.

2009-05-29 - Missing woman JESSIE FOSTER's mother's fight with the Corporate Giant-TELUS COMMUNICATIONS

This letter may be confusing, because I started it yesterday when I sent a message to Telus and finished today with my letter to everyone else. At the end of this letter is some communication I have had with the Telus Abuse Team throughout March, April and May of this year.

No one has to tell me that I send out a lot of emails – I also post on 2 Facebook accounts – one for MissingJessie Foster and one for Glendene Grant, MySpace, NowPublic, 3 blogs [Jessie blog, news article blog, newsletter blog], our own forum FindJessie and many other missing persons blogs & forums that I am a part of. I also spend a lot of time getting Jessie’s story in the media.

But I was still shocked when after several months of Telus ‘whitelising’ my IP Address every 48 hours (this was their suggestion), so I can send out my emails to our family, friends, supporters, investigators (police, private eyes, bounty hunters), media, many different missing persons networking sites that is helping us with Jessie’s search – to everyone; they shut off my outgoing emails to my account. I have all the emails sent by then telling me it is done (see the latest email as an example below), wishing us luck and prayers in our search for Jessie.

Then I get a call yesterday from Abraham-ID#: 826001 from the Telus Abuse Team (the same group of people who have been in constant communication with me about this issue) telling me that I am spamming (now let me clear up one thing that was explained me to months ago when I got a call from Telus Abuse several months ago telling me that I have not been reported as a spammer by anyone, but the Telus system is recognizing my account as sending out enough emails that they thought it may be from spamming. After talking to me, they knew that was not what I doing – they realized I was simply trying to find my child) I was surprised, not just because of the arrangement I had with them, but because I am not spamming. I have asked over and over that is someone does not want to receive emails, all they have to do is ask to be removed – you can believe I have been asked and I have removed many addresses – for many different reasons (there is just too much stuff to read; they are using a blackberry or other handheld email device and they don’t want all the emails on it – they emails are pretty depressing, no doubt, they are about missing persons, kidnapping, murder and human trafficking, even though it is the same thing that movies and television shows are all about these days – there have been many reasons, but the fact is, they do not need a reason. All they have to do is ask. However, some people are simply put BIG FAT BABIES. Rather than ask or even DELETE the emails, or here is a good one: BLOCK MY ADDRESS. They all work, but no – there are people out there who would waste more of their time emailing my Internet/Email provider and complain about a mother searching for her child. Some people really do not have much of a life, if they have time for that. I mean, I get dozens of spam a day – YES, A DAY, all through Telus email – no, they do not stop the emails about making some guys p**** bigger, or pills to ‘get it up’ or to ‘keep it up’ (sorry folks, had to say it, as that is what real spam is about and I get tons of it a day and Telus does nothing to stop it – even reporting it as spam, they want us to do the investigating on the emails – simply forwarding it gets you a message back that they need THE HEADERS, THE ‘THIS’ AND THE ‘THAT’, making it so people just DO NOT BOTHER).

But yet, here I am, one day off – today – and I have spent the entire day in tears, trying to see what I can do about fighting the giant corporation TELUSS COMMUNICATIONS – like it was not enough for me to be up against the likes of Facebook disabling so many accounts only there to help find the missing.

So, seriously, if someone has a better idea of what I should be doing for over 3 years since Jessie went missing PLEASE TELL ME, because if I am not doing that, I am going crazy. I am crying – I am a mess. I need to keep going, I need to know that on a daily basis, even hourly and more – that someone, anyone, even if it is me, is working on Jessie’s case. If your child were to disappear off the face of the earth, never to be heard from again for over 3 years, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

So, obviously, from my tenacity and my non-stop work on Jessie’s case, I have not just managed to anger Facebook enough to cancel 13 accounts (now, with the Facebook issue, I simply go get a new email address, and sign up for a new account and start over…and over…and over…and over. What else is there to do? There are so many people on Facebook, there are so many groups for the missing – some even started by myself that I find I always go back and get another about started), but now that I have got Telus, a HUGE Canadian communications corporation in Canada mad at me I do not know where to turn, BUT TO MY FRIEND ALL OVER, ESPECIALLY IN THE MEDIA – HELP US STAND UP TO TELUS – TELL THEM THAT THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT DIFFER FROM THE REST AND THEY NEED TO BE PREPARED TO MEET WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS ON A LEVEL THAT IS UNDERSTANDING OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.

Telus is mad enough to stop me from emailing anyone from my own email address, glendene@telus.net. I use this email address a lot. I also have my jessiesmom@jessiefoster.ca email address, which I will be using more often now, because there is no chance for this account to EVER be shut down, at least not before we find Jessie – this address is attached to our www.jessiefoster.ca website and it is sponsored by our good friend and my hubby Jim’s boss, Doug Wells – Comtec Electrical with special thanks to Patricia Cornborough for all the work and long hours she puts into it.

The following is just a small amount of the media attention that Jessie’s case has received since she went missing, there is much, much more available online – the first one (Geraldo at Large) airing less than a month after she disappeared.

There are actually just too many to mention (sorry to those not mentioned, I do appreciate you all), but you will see most of them in my News Article blog, my FindJessie & Peace4Missing forum, and on my NowPublic site – I want to get this info to as many people as I can, to the world if possible.
_________________________________________________________
This is the letter I sent to Telus – and YES, the mother of a missing child will beg – I will beg for help and not feel bad about it at all. (Now remember – PLEASE EVERYONE, if you do NOT want to get my emails, I DO NOT MIND. But please, ask to be removed, if you don't how will I know. I do not know if I have been reported as a spammer, or if Telus computers see me as one, regardless, I know I send out lots of emails, but I feel I have to, in order to keep Jessie's case active and people still looking.)
_________________________________________________________
Please, please, please, I need your help or someone's help. This needs to be forwarded or given to someone of authority with Telus, NOT TO THE ABUSE TEAM, but to their supervisor, or at least the supervisor of one Abraham-ID#: 826001. This is important AND URGENT. If this email goes to Abraham-ID#: 826001, then I expect you to forward it to your supervisor so I can get the proper follow-up on my complaint against you and my request for help from Telus in this terrible situation our family....MY DAUGHTER, is in.

Abraham-ID#: 826001, from your Telus Abuse Team in Edmonton just called me with the RUDEST attitude. He refused to allow me to talk to his supervisor, as he said he was the supervisor, but everyone has a supervisor or a boss above them unless they own the company, and he told me, RUDELY, that he doesn't care what my reason for my emailing (even told me flat out that my missing daughter is NOT AN ISSUE - WHAT? - I need his supervisor's contact email or toll free number, since I have no long distance on my phone, as we are teetering on bankruptcy, since every penny we earn goes to investigators, our reward and the investigation - 10's of 1000's of dollars), because, simply put...I AM A SPAMMER. I have over and over asked anyone who does not want to receive my emails to please ask and they are removed immediately from my addressbook, and sometimes people do. Abraham-ID#: 826001, would not tell me, as others have, whether it is a personal complaint or if the Telus system is seeing lots of emails from me.

MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN MISSING OVER 3 YEARS, IF MY INTERNET PROVIDER LIMITS ME ON EMAILS, THEN PLEASE, TRY TO HELP ME, NOT THREATEN TO CANCEL MY EMAIL ADDRESS THAT IS KNOWN TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN REGARDS TO MY INTERNATIONAL, ENDANGERED MISSING DAUGHTER, JESSIE FOSTER (WHO IS LIKELY THE VICTIM OF A HUMAN TRAFFICKING RING).

In the past, the Abuse Team asked me to email them every 48 hours with my IP address (and I do) so I can be whitelisted and be able to send my emails to our family, friends and supporters worldwide (as a human trafficking victim, we do not know where in the world Jessie is, so we have people all over the world helping us in our search - sadly, everyone at Telus has been excellent and totally understanding of this tragic and most different situation (they have never had a customer with a missing child or my request to email to my large address book - thank God for them and for your other customers).

I am shaking so badly, he has upset me so much? Seriously, with what I deal with on a daily, hourly and more, basis, why did he feel the need to put me through this? Also, when I asked for the contact phone number to telus abuse, Abraham-ID#: 826001, said it so fast, I could not write it down, when I asked him to repeat it, he did it again and when I asked a third time...this time I was upset even more for his terrible customer service / attitude towards me, that I raised my voice so he hung up on me - I am sorry for raising my voice - even though it was not by much, but he was totally out of line in his attitude and words to me. Even my daughter that was here with me was trying to take the phone from me to find out what his problem was, but he hung up the phone in my ear before she could.

You have it, but still, my phone number is: 250-374-6137. Glendene Grant.

Alan, my name is Glendene Grant and I do not spam people. I do send out lots of emails because I have an international endangered missing (human trafficking victim) daughter, Jessie Foster, but I have told everyone over and over if they do not want me to send to them, please tell me. From time-to-time someone does ask, usually kindly and with prayers for Jessie. I am pretty un-nervered that someone, without a heart obviously (since I am easier blocked than reported as spam) reported me as a spammer. I do not send out one thing that is not specific to Jessie's case or other missing persons, since Jessie went missing 3 years ago this Sunday, (March 29, 2006) we have had several messages that are being put on networking sites and emailed to friends and family (or we thought friends....). For more
information on Jessie and her case, please go to www.jessiefoster.ca - and also please accept my apology for someone reporting me as spam when I am obviously not SPAMMING anyone. It is cold and callous to say that important information on missing people is nothing but junk mail. I cannot stop my search for my daughter and since she went missing in the USA, I need to use my Internet and email for my search. I certainly cannot afford to get a more expensive hsi service, so a business account is simply out of the question, besides, this is not a business.

This is my personal life. Sincerely, Jessie's mom Glendene.
$50,000 REWARD for information leading to Jessie or the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible.

Hello Glendene,

Thank you for your email back to us.

As a parent, I can most certainly understand your efforts in finding your daughter; my heart goes out to you.

It appears our network's spam filter was set off not by the content of your emails, but by the volume of emails being sent at one time. As a method of preventing spamming, TELUS' network spam filtration will only allows a finite amount of email through the network per hour.

In order to prevent this from happening in the future, your IP addresses can be whitelisted for a period of 48 hours which will remove the rate limiting from the spam filter and allow large volumes of email to be sent. Whitelisting can be done by contacting our group via email (abuse@telus.com) prior to the mass email with your current IP address. You can determine your current IP address by visiting the site www.whatismyip.com

Best wishes in your continued efforts.

You indeed have a dynamic IP address that changes. Unfortunately I have never heard of your daughter.

From: Glendene Grant

Please, please, please, I need your help or someone's help. This needs to be forwarded or given to someone of authority with Telus, NOT TO THE ABUSE TEAM, but to their supervisor, or at least the supervisor of one Abraham-ID#: 826001. This is important AND URGENT. If this email goes to Abraham-ID#: 826001, then I expect you to forward it to your supervisor so I can get the proper follow-up on my complaint against you and my request for help from Telus in this terrible situation our family....MY DAUGHTER, is in.

Abraham-ID#: 826001, from your Telus Abuse Team in Edmonton just called me with the RUDEST attitude. He refused to allow me to talk to his supervisor, as he said he was the supervisor, but everyone has a supervisor or a boss above them unless they own the company, and he told me, RUDELY, that he doesn't care what my reason for my emailing (even told me flat out that my missing daughter is NOT AN ISSUE - WHAT? - I need his supervisor's contact email or toll free number, since I have no long distance on my phone, as we are teetering on bankruptcy, since every penny we earn goes to investigators, our reward and the investigation - 10's of 1000's of dollars), because, simply put...I AM A SPAMMER. I have over and over asked anyone who does not want to receive my emails to please ask and they are removed immediately from my addressbook, and sometimes people do.

Abraham-ID#: 826001, would not tell me, as others have, whether it is a personal complaint or if the Telus system is seeing lots of emails from me. MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN MISSING OVER 3 YEARS, IF MY INTERNET PROVIDER LIMITS ME ON EMAILS, THEN PLEASE, TRY TO HELP ME, NOT THREATEN TO CANCEL MY EMAIL
ADDRESS THAT IS KNOWN TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN REGARDS TO MY INTERNATIONAL, ENDANGERED MISSING DAUGHTER, JESSIE FOSTER (WHO IS LIKELY THE VICTIM OF A HUMAN TRAFFICKING RING).

In the past, the Abuse Team asked me to email them every 48 hours with my IP address (and I do) so I can be whitelisted and be able to send my emails to our family, friends and supporters worldwide (as a human trafficking victim, we do not know where in the world Jessie is, so we have people all over the world helping us in our search - sadly, everyone at Telus has been excellent and totally understanding of this tragic and most different situation (they have never had a customer with a missing child or my request to email to my large address book - thank God for them and for your other customers).

I am shaking, he upset me so much. Also, when I asked for the contact phone number to telus abuse, Abraham-ID#: 826001, said it so fast, I could not write it down, when I asked him to repeat it, he did it again and when I asked a third time...this time I was upset even more for his terrible customer service / attitude towards me, that I raised my voice so he hung up on me - I am sorry for raising my voice - even though it was not by much, but he was totally out of line in his attitude and words to me. Even my daughter that was here with me was trying to take the phone from me to find out what his problem was, but he hung up the phone in my ear before she could.

You have it, but still, my phone number is: 250-374-6137. Glendene Grant.

Subject: *TELUS Detected Spam*URGENT....need Telus Supervisor ASAP - please –

Thank you to my fellow Canadians, from missing Jessie Foster and her family. I guess having a missing daughter is getting boring for the Telus Abuse team. For me, THIS IS MY LIFE.

You call me a spammer, I call me a mother trying to find her kidnapped daughter.
I NEED A SUPERVISOR OTHER THAN Abraham-ID#: 826001 TO CALL ME ASAP. I know I am but one small customer for Telus, but please give me the respect to have someone call me. Please...I am begging for someone to call me ASAP. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. Glendene Grant.

REWARD: $50,000 to the person who helps us find Jessie Foster, international endangered missing person and kidnap victim. SHE WAS TAKEN AWAY BY A VIOLENT HUMAN TRAFFICKING RING. PLEASE HELP ME, PLEASE DO NOT HURT US IN OUR INVESTIGATION.

AS I SAID EARLIER, A MOTHER OF A MISSING WOMAN WILL BEG AND I WILL BEG FOR HELP FROM ANYONE WHO CAN HELP US IN ANY POSSIBLE WAY.


SO, AGAIN, CAN ANYONE HELP ME AGAINST THIS CORPORATE GIANT, OR AM I TO JUST START OVER AGAIN AS I HAVE TO DO WITH FACEBOOK?

A 51-YEAR-OLD MOTHER/GRANDMOTHER TIRELESSLY SEARCHING FOR HER DAUGHTER FOR MORE THAN THREE LONG YEARS, HAS ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH, WITHOUT ALL THIS ‘EXTRA BULL’ ON TOP OF IT ALL.

THIS IS NOT A LIFE I CHOSE, NOR IS IT ONE I WOULD WISH ON MY WORST ENEMY, AND I THINK THAT ANYONE IN MY POSITION WOULD WANT TO DO THE SAME FOR THEIR LOVED ONE. AFTER ALL, IF I DON’T, WHO WILL?

SERIOUSLY, IF I JUST GOT JESSIE BACK AGAIN, MOST PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY NEVER HEAR FROM ME AGAIN – THEN AGAIN, MAYBE NOT.

I PLAN ON CONTINUING TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE WITH A MISSING LOVED ONE, AS I ALSO DO, BESIDES LOOKING FOR MY CHILD, FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE. THIS IS WHAT I DO NOW.

Regardless of the quantity, the quality was excellent. The women who organize them, Kathy Dahl and Debra Noel, do an excellent job. They obviously 'do their homework' on this subject, because they are never at a loss on information they provide. It was very interesting, I learned several new things.

At the presentation tonight, Mark Price, the Crime Stoppers Coordinator asked me if I would be interested in teaming up with him for some speaking engagements on human trafficking, to which I said 'of course, I would love to' (it will certainly spread the word more and more about Jessie's case). He talks at several forums - like the one tonight; at different high schools; and so forth; and he wants to plan full weekend informational thing (apparently I know more about human trafficking than anyone he knows - he even mentioned to me about one presentation he saw where the speaker was simply reading from a paper, but really had no knowledge on the subject and was not even able to answer questions from the audience), and he would like me to try to arrange some of my Jessie supporters who are human trafficking experts to speak at it, or to offer some helpful information. So, anyone reading this, Prof. Perrin, Dottie, Polly ~ ANYONE ~ who has anything they can offer to us for this, whether it is information [documents, website links, etc], if they are able to come to Kamloops to speak [or even do a video conference via the Internet - those are excellent ways to get together without having to travel, especially when everyone is so busy these days] we would be eternally grateful.

Thank you all for being here, tomorrow we will be celebrating my Jessie's 25th birthday with a bbq and an assortment of salads.
I am torn - I do not want Jessie to have any more birthdays until we find her, on the other hand, I am so grateful for the 21 years we had Jessie before she was kidnapped over 3 years ago that I have to celebrate and honour her life with my family and a few close friends.

Jessie has missed celebrating her 22nd birthday, 23rd birthday, 24th birthday and now tomorrow her 25th birthday with her family and friends - with all those who love her. We never got to celebrate her 21st birthday either, since she was in Las Vegas at that time. Then she went missing 10 months later.

Jessie's mom, Glendene.

Jessie's 25th birthday is tomorrow ~ May 27th, 2009


Wow, I simply cannot believe that my girl's 25th birthday is tomorrow.

I REALLY CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE NOT SEEN HER SINCE SHE WAS 21, and then only once near the end of 2005 when she was able to come home for Christmas.

THAT IS, until she was forced to leave our home on the 3pm airplane on CHRISTMAS DAY. We have never found out the exact threat, but it must have been a bad one for her to leave that day without prior arrangements made.

JESSIE-BESSIE, MOMMY LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND I WILL FIND YOU, OR DIE TRYING.

Thank you friends for being here for me. Love Glendene.

White Picket Fence Newsletter: Vol 1, Issue 2





INTRODUCTION:

My first order of business is to let everyone know what an excellent response we had to our first ever White Picket Fence Newsletter-MISSING JESSIE FOSTER. I started of flying by the seat of my pants (by the way, what the heck does that really mean??) but since I have a lot to say, it was not that hard to do. (Funny story-I was wondering how I was supposed to number my newsletter with the volume and the issue numbers, so I Googled it. This is the answer and I was so happy to find out: Typically publications use volume to indicate the number of the year of the publication's life. That is, the first year of publication is Volume 1; next year is Volume 2, and so on. Within volume numbers, the issue dictates its sequence. So, now I know how to number my newsletter.)

My second order of business is to let you all know about Jessie’s 25th birthday celebration DATE: Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 ~ TIME: 12:05am – 12:55pm ~ LOCATION: In your home ~ your heart ~ your favorite networking site on the Internet ~ where ever you are!! As much as I want to have a big party for Jessie's 25th birthday, I really do not feel much like 'partying' a much as celebrating Jessie's life with prayers and candles ~ that is, unless, of course, someone can bring Jessie home for her birthday, then we will have the biggest party you have ever seen or heard of. Last year we had a huge, beautiful celebration for Jessie's 24th birthday, there were dozens of people here and we had a big balloon release for her. Plus we had a bbq and cake - it was awesome. This year will be quieter, but there will be dozens, if not hundreds - heck, shoot for it - let's get THOUSANDS to attend in their hearts. Jessie's mom Glendene. REMEMBER ~ you do NOT have to physically attend Jessie's 25th birthday celebration, just say a prayer, light a candle and celebrate your way. Happy birthday Jessie!
============================================
MAY 25th, 2009 – International Missing Children’s Day ~ To commemorate children who have gone missing and celebrate the safe return of so many ~
International Missing Children’s Day was established for people in the world to remember all the missing children worldwide. To help spread the word of these children and to pray for & support the parents, families and loved ones of the missing. Let the parents with a missing child know that they have not been forgotten. WE WILL NEVER FORGET, NOR WILL WE STOP LOOKING FOR OUR CHILDREN. We will help stop this terrible epidemic of missing children ~ of all missing people.

Stop what you are doing on Monday, May 25th, 2009 and think about it. How can we do something about this? I declared 2009…theYear4theMissing sometime ago and I strongly believe it is. WE CAN DO SOMETHING IF WE DO IT TOGETHER. REMEMBER ~ STRENGTH IN NUMBER’s ~

VALOR’S STORY (CANADIAN Case #: 0600588)
It is hard to believe, but I also work with someone who has a missing person in her family. The missing person is a young child, Valor (Taylor) Howell ~ Born September 7th, 2000, who is the victim of a parental abduction. His mother snatched him away in December 1st, 2004, when young Valor was just 4 years old. For some reason, his mother, Jamie Howell (AKA: Jamie Anderson) thought that when Valor’s daddy got custody of his two older sisters, she had something to worry about. I mean, he got custody pretty much by default, not because of a long, drawn out custody case. The mother was unfit and it was not even a possibility that she could give them a stable, loving environment to grow up in, so of course the father is going to give them a home. But as far as they knew, she was ‘wonkie’ (you know what I mean), but they did not think she would take him and run across the border from Canada to the USA. The Hague Convention is even involved in this kidnapping because of the international status of the case (mother has family in Canada & the USA); (http://www.hagueconvention.ca/) and when they are found (not if, but when), she will be arrested and jailed for international child abduction.

APRIL’S STORY

April Beth Pitzer, age 30 and mother of two, went missing June 28, 2004. April was last seen in the vicinity of the 30000 block of Caspian Way in Newberry Springs, CA. She told her roommate that she was leaving on a bus to visit her mother in Arkansas, but never arrived. April had been a model for a variety of clothing stores in Arkansas and Texas. She left behind two young daughters, whom she doted upon.

In December 2005, clothing was found in a mineshaft in Ludlow, California. In January 2006, April's mother positively identified the clothing as belonging to her daughter. There was no other sign of April at the scene. April has a medical condition and requires medication.
-----------------------------------------
“April didn’t just disappear, she loves her children to much. Something happened to her and we want to know what,” Gloria Denton (April’s mother) went on to say. “Bradley Elisa (7) and Kennedy Marie (4) are Aprils life and they miss her very much and I miss her laughter, love & beautiful friendship; the girls ask me when will I ever find their mommy? Won’t you please give April back to us?”
-----------------------------------------
The circumstances surrounding Missing person’s have multiple explanations, like the Katrina disaster that was responsible for over eleven-thousand missing adults alone as the result of a natural disaster when there are tens of thousands more missing from unknown causes. Sadly the numbers continue to grow. Nations Missing Children’s Organization Racing for the Missing Division ~ October 15, 2005

May 25=International Missing Children's Day ~ May 26=Human Trafficking Forum ~ May 27=Jessie's 25th birthday



Monday, May 25th is International Missing Children's Day.

Tuesday, May 26th, 7:00 pm, I have been invited to speak at a human trafficking forum, here in Kamloops at the Sacred Heart Cathedral (downstairs on the corner of 3rd Avenue and Nicola Street - if anyone locally wants to attend, please show up - you do not need to RSVP).

Wednesday, May 27th is Jessie's 25th birthday.

ALSO: Did you see the video I sent from ABC Nightline, May 15th, 2009 ~ Hunting Humans on the Highway ~ I am still amazed that ABC / Nightline never contacted me, the mother of a missing woman, before they put her picture and missing information in their story, this is something we like to know.
Regardless still, I am never disappointed when Jessie's story is in the news getting coverage and allowing more people to know about her (even if briefly).
One thing I noticed on this video, that was never told to me, but it looks as if Jessie has a case number different from the police case file number and the NCIC number. It makes me think she has a 'highway serial killer initiative's case number thought the family has never been told this. ABC Nightline video link: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7582591 - her picture & that case number is shown at the -1:07 mark near the end, this is what it says: Jessica E. Foster - ID#: 1966345- Missing since April 9, 2006 - NLV Police #: 06-9384. Anyone know how I can find this out?

Missing person hoaxes . . . sad but true!

Since these email chain letters are still going around, I thought maybe it was time to let everyone know THEY ARE HOAXES. There are so many, but here are the most common ones I get - Evan Trembley and Ashley Flores.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EVAN TREMBLEY - CLAIM: A 15-year-old boy named Evan Trembley is missing ~ FALSE
- Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/missing/trembley.asp
- Break The Chain: http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/evantrembley.html

ASHLEY FLORES - CLAIM: A 13-year-old Philadelphia girl named Ashley Flores is missing ~ FALSE
- Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/missing/ashleyflores.asp
- Break The Chain: http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/ashleyflores.html

NOTE: There is a part of both of these missing person's reports that were obviously copied & pasted from one to the other ~

FROM EVAN'S POSTER: Maybe if everyone passes this on, someone will see this child. That is how the girl from Stevens Point was found by circulation of her picture on tv. The internet circulates even overseas, South America , and Canada etc. Please pass this to everyone in your address book.

FROM ASHLEY'S POSTER: Maybe if everyone passes this on, someone will see this child. That is how the girl from Stevens Point was found, by circulation of her picture on TV. The internet circulates even overseas, South America, and Canada etc. Thanks. Please pass this to everyone in your address book.

FROM BREAK THE CHAIN: The text in Evan Tremblay's poster is borrowed, nearly verbatim, from an earlier hoax about Ashley Flores, another child we are to believe had gone missing. The Flores chain was borrowed heavily from the Penny Brown hoax, which in turn was derivative of the Kelsey Brook Jones chain, and so on. But Evan's chain has more in common with the Flores hoax, which was created as a practical joke by one of Ashley's friends. This time, the prankster is the supposedly missing child himself. Evan Trembley is indeed a teen from Wichita Falls, TX, but he was never missing. Rather, he snatched the text from the Flores letter on a MySpace bulletin, adapted it to himself, added his photo and re-posted it. His intention was to amuse some friends, but he was utterly unprepared for the life his fake notice has taken on.

FROM SNOPES: According to KFDX, the NBC television affiliate in Wichita Falls, Texas, the prankster responsible for the mayhem was none other than the "missing boy" himself. Evan Trembley had substituted information about himself into a phony missing child alert he'd found on MySpace, invented a signature block for a made-up Wichita Falls police officer to add to the jape, and sent the resulting alert to a few friends as a joke. His prank escaped into the wilds of the Internet, and now the Trembley family is receiving about seven phone calls a day from folks who have received the appeal in e-mail, some of these calls coming in from as far away as Hawaii. Wichita Falls police have contacted the boy's mother, Tammy Trembley, about the hoax. She said that, based on their conversation, she doesn't think police will take any action against her son.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTERNET HOAXES:

EVAN TREMBLEY IS NOT MISSING NEVER HAS BEEN AND HE SHOULD BE FORCED TO VOLUNTEER (voluntold is more like it) HIS SPARE TIME (since it is obvious he has so much of it) TO HELP OUT AT HOMELESS SHELTERS, FOOD BANKS OR SOME PLACE TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY AND KEEP HIM OUT OF TROUBLE - I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EVER WORK WITH MISSING PERSON'S ORGANIZATIONS, SINCE HE DOES NOT HAVE THE HEART FOR IT - HE OBVIOUSLY THINKS A MISSING PERSON IS A JOKE (and since I have a missing daughter, I completely missed the humour).

ASHLEY FLORES IS NOT MISSING EITHER. SHE DID NOT START HER OWN HOAX, BUT HER 'FRIENDS' WHO DID DESERVE THE SAME PUNISHMENT AS EVAN DESERVES (with friends like those, who needs enemies, I guess). THERE IS NO REASON IN THE WORLD THAT SOMEONE SHOULD JOKE ABOUT A MISSING PERSON, WOULD THEY JOKINGLY SAY THEY WERE RAPED OR KILLED, I HARDLY THINK SO. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MISSING PEOPLE, SO THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF JUST ONE CASE AFFECTS SO MANY, THEREFORE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CRIME THAT AFFECTS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN OUR WORLD - AND CHANCES ARE NOW-A-DAYS WITH SO MANY VICTIMS, YOU PROBABLY EVEN KNOW SOMEONE WHO KNOWS SOMEONE WHO IT MISSING.

Even I have found out that people I know have had a missing person in their life, sometimes for years.

- One time I had to go get some blood work done and the woman at the clinic was someone I went to school with back in elementary school. She told me she was so sad to hear about Jessie and that she prays for her and our family - then she told me something I never, ever knew. She told me that her Daddy was the conductor of a train that went into the Fraser River over 40 years ago (when we were still in elementary school). The Fraser River is a fast, deep, mean river that is very unforgiving to anything that falls into it. The bodies of the men working on the train that went over a 400 foot cliff into the cold mean Fraser River have never been found. Her dad's body has never been brought home to his family and is still missing. SAD SAD SAD. For me, if I cannot get Jessie back alive, I still want her back.

- Also, I have worked at my job for almost 3 years and there are 2 people I worked with back at the beginning also have or have had a missing person in their life.

* One family had a child abducted by one of the parents over 4 years ago, and now the Hague Convention is involved as it is an international abduction case.

* One family had their teenage son go somewhere for the weekend without getting permission and scared the crap out of his parents - the kicker about this story is that the mother of the child where their son went to stay told them that she did not think of this as a missing child; after all, she used to live in Calgary and missing woman JESSIE FOSTER'S dad was Dwight Foster was her neighbour. WHAT THE HECK DID THAT MEAN? I mean, the person who's son was missing has been MY FRIEND for 5 years. Obviously that woman did not learn a thing from having a neighbour's daughter become an international endangered missing person who is possibly the victim of a human trafficking ring.

And that is sad ~ people underestimate missing person's case. Usually starting out with (adult) MAYBE THEY CHOSE TO LEAVE or (child) MAYBE THEY RAN AWAY. By the time most cases are taken seriously and searches are done, hours...days...weeks, and yes even months and years have gone by. WHY? Why do they not give the family or even the missing person the BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT? Why do they not believe them when they say THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT? After all, who knows the missing better than their family and friends?

My 15 year old son, Evan Trembley, is missing. Maybe if everyone passes this on, someone will see this child.
That is how the girl from Stevens Point was found by circulation of her picture on tv. The internet circulates even overseas, South America, and Canada etc.

15 year old Ashley Flores is missing. Maybe if everyone passes this on, someone will see this child.
That is how the girl from Stevens Point was found by circulation of her picture on tv. The internet circulates even overseas, South America, and Canada etc.

MALICIOUS missing persons cases IMMORAL, ILLEGAL or BOTH???

PICTURED ~ JESSIE FOSTER
. . . . missing over 3 years



Missing persons cases happen everywhere and for all intents and purposes, for many reasons.

Some people are victims of a kidnapping, taken away by force, with weapons or threats. They sometimes escape, but often don’t. Some victims are never found. They are victims of a car jacking or home invasion or simply taken when walking or bicycling down the street – even their own street. These cases often go unsolved for years, sometimes forever.

Sometimes a wife goes missing and more times than not, it turns out she was brutally murdered by none other than her own spouse. The person who promises to love and protect her is the one who ultimately takes her life. This is a terrible crime (not like some crimes are any less terrible, so I do not know why I even said that) – this crime is sometimes called a crime of passion but that is a crock, if you know what I mean. It is murder, pure and simple – if murder can ever be simple. The loss of a loved one is never simple. Sometimes when the husband kills his wife she is pregnant and therefore the baby sadly also dies, sometimes he also kills his children.

Sometimes people go missing and it is because of an accident. Their car goes over a cliff and they are not found for years; or someone is hiking and they slip into a crevice and never found. There are many ways to go missing.

And sometimes it is the mother who kills her own children; the babies that grew in her womb, the children that she gave birth to and nurtured as an infant are murdered by their own mommies and reported missing, sometimes gone for months before being found, and as with all missing person’s cases, sometimes never found. This is a hard one for me to wrap my brain around – speaking as a mother with a missing child.

Some people children are taken away by one of their own parents – parental abduction is a huge crime often not reported, as people incorrectly assume that if a parent takes the child they are relatively safe from harm. This is so wrong. Facts show that the trauma to children abducted by one of their parents goes long into adulthood, making it no easier on the kidnapping victims in the long run, except they possibly were not physically or sexually abused and they are rarely killed.

Some people are kidnapped by a human trafficking ring and forced to do anything and everything you can imagine – children forced to work 10 to 20 hours a day in sweat shops to make name brand clothing for pennies a day; men forced to work in marijuana grow operations; women & children, boys & girls, forced into the sex trade – victimized over and over, day after day, sometimes getting away, sometimes taking their own lives rather than face a future such as this…some like child victim Johnny Gosch – missing over 2 decades – TWO DECADES, my God. Or like my daughter, Jessie Foster, missing and for 3 years, not from again – others have never been heard from again, EVER.

Can you even imagine what these poor people went through? These human beings who are treated like someone’s own property, treated worse than any animal should ever be treated – what they went through would have been ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE – ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. I know I cannot imagine and I have been living the nightmare a mother lives when her daughter is a victim like my daughter is.

Can you even imagine what the family goes through when their loved one is missing? The mothers…the daughters…the wives…the husbands…the siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins…not to mention the elderly relatives, the grandmothers & grandfathers?? The pain is indescribable; it is something you do not wish on even your worst enemies.

Now can you imagine someone choosing to do this to their families & friends…to their loved ones? I certainly can’t. Well it happens and it happens a lot. As a matter of fact, right now, as of today, there are 2 such cases in the news that are garnering attention. “Bartlesville resident David Lee Rockey disappeared when he was my age…51 years old. He told his family he had a job interview in nearby Skitook back in August 2002 – he never arrived and his car was found in a Tulsa International Airport parking lot the very next day. Recently this poor excuse for a man tried to get a driver’s licence at the South Dakota DPS – sending up an alert that he had surfaced”. It has been almost 7 years of hell for his family and friends and you know what – he deserves to go to jail for what he put them and the police through. The expense of a missing persons case can ultimately run into the millions…no, not a year – PER PERSON!

Then there is the case that is very near and dear to my heart. The case of a man I have never met and whose wife of over 28 years I have never met but to tell you something, Maureen is family to me. We are in a family together. The family of those with a missing loved one in their life. No one wants to be in this family, but you know what, if you are missing a loved one, there is not a better place to be than in the comfort of those who tread down this terrible path before us. This is the case of MSGT USMC RET Jon R. Van Dyke – missing from Las Vegas since May 19, 2005. Nearly one year before my daughter JESSIE FOSTER went missing in Las Vegas (March 29, 2006), who also resurfaced recently. Maureen saw him on May 11, 2009 and knew this was not her Jon. For all he put her through, I guess he suffered too – however, possibly not quite enough, because he now deserves to charged with something for what he put his wife, daughters, grandson, family and friends through for 4 years – this is more than someone ever should have to deal with.

This is one of the most horrendous things for someone to deal with, with all your heart, soul and might you search, you fight to find them and you face the world with the story of their disappearance and how this person would NEVER, EVER choose to leave their family. Then you find out they did. This person you loved and cherished and shared your life with has put you through this terrible thing BY CHOICE.

Wow, I do not know how this could ever be accepted. I just do not know. But what I do know is it should be illegal. To choose to go missing – to let your family report you, let the police search for you – friends and volunteers searching for your and in the end, you decided that you wanted a BETTER LIFE needs to be a crime. If you want to go then just go. Just don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out!! I mean, even if you could keep them from leaving, do you really want to? Chances are if you were told that you had a choice; go through a separation & divorce or go through the pain & suffering of having a missing loved one you would choose the former.

This is something that needs to be addressed as it is much more common than you would know. It is something that will hinder all other missing adult cases when it happens as it puts the idea into people’s heads that it is more likely others ‘chose’ to go missing when they really are victims of a crime. Help us get this to your law-makers and ensure that this crime of willingly, maliciously and without forethought (barring mental and/or physical evaluations – because if they are not in their right mind, then they really can’t be held responsible), of going missing needs to be a crime punishable by law – by prison. Because given a choice, would that person rather go though separation & divorce or being charged with a crime & jailed? Chances are they too, would choose the former.

So remember, if you do not think this should be a crime, punishable by jail – then try this . . . imagine for a minute what it would be like to have a missing loved one. For now, we will use husband as an example – and you then find out years later he is fine, remarried or whatever, but living a perfectly good life somewhere else – somewhere he thought was better than living with you – now, decided if he should be punished for that.

JESSIE FOSTER


PICTURE: 3 years missing - Bringing Home Jessica Foster by Lavanda Dolce ~ March 29, 2009

Jessie disappeared from her home in North Las Vegas, Nevada between March 28th and April 3rd, 2006 (most likely on March 29, but this is not known for sure).

Jessie had been taken to the USA 10 months earlier and the evidence our private investigator found after her disappearance tells a scary tale of abuse and most likely, that she is the victim of kidnapping by a human trafficking ring.

Thank you for all the support you give us in our search for Jessie - over 3 years is a long time to be living this nightmare and without everyone's help, prayers and very kind words, I would not have the strength to carry on.

May 27th is Jessie's 25th birthday. Please think of her, light a candle and pray for her safe return.

The media has also been great to us, keeping everyone updated on the news in Jessie's case - thank you, too.
======================================
CJaye aka The Video Lady has shared Where's Jessie Foster, a montage created at One True Media, check it out = http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=8b2d07e9530b775bd2329e&skin_id=1605&utm_source=otm&utm_medium=text_url - EXCELLENT VIDEO.
======================================
BIG NEWS EVERYONE (for Canada and for more exposure on Jessie's disappearance): Jessie's case is going to our Nation's Capital in a bid to get a National DNA Database activated here in Canada. I have been communicating with Heidi Illingworth the Executive Director for the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime (http://crcvc.ca/en) in Ottawa, ON (her messages are below) and they are taking the submission in this week!! Jessie's case is making a HUGE difference in many things - I guess the 2nd best thing, next to my daughter's return. I am attaching the brief that they are taking. This is an awesome thing....Jessie's mom, Glendene.
----------------------------------------
Glendene, do you have anything you want to contribute to our submission to Parliament regarding the DNA Identification Act? The 5-year statutory review is taking place and our agency will be testifying at the Committee on Parliament Hill next week.

Our agency is going to advocate that they add a Missing Persons section to the Databank (as we have done in the past), so that loved ones can add their DNA to be matched against unidentified human remains that may be stored across Canada by various police and/or Coroner’s agencies. I am not sure if you have any comments, but I would really appreciate your thoughts as we always try to include information from victims in our submissions.

Looking forward to hearing from you! Heidi Illingworth - Executive Director - Directrice exécutive - Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime http://crcvc.ca/en/
----------------------------------------
Then: Hi Glendene, We have revised the clipping we would like to include about you/Jessie. Is this ok with you. (Jessie's case is mentioned on page 5 of the BRIEF TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=3552&id=1684265972&l=bab66aca00 is the link to 'Statutory review of DNA Ident Act-Canada' album I have posted). If this happens, then Jessie's disappearance will not have been in vain. When good comes from a tragedy, it helps the family & friends of the missing or murdered or whatever the situation is, then there is some type of healing done and in that way, they are helped deal with what has happened.
======================================
Jessie's case has been shown on The Geraldo at Large Show (April 24, 2006), The Maury Povich Show (October 11, 2006), The Montel Williams Show (May 24, 2007 - filmed at studio), The Montel Williams Show (July 8, 2008 - filmed at our home here in Kamloops for an update to Jessie's story), America's Most Wanted (November 15, 2008 - http://www.amw.com/missing_persons/brief.cfm?id=60803 is the link to Jessie's page on AMW.com) . . . and the next place it will be aired will be on E! Entertainment tv in the form of a documentary called "Young Beautiful and Vanished" (August 28, 2009 - they came to our home in April to film Jessie's part of this show, which will discuss the cases of other missing women).

Jessie's story was told in a book by Canadian author Lisa Wojna called MISSING! The Disappeared, Lost or Abducted in Canada (August 2007) and there is a cookbook coming out soon from the Kristen Foundation (http://kristenfoundation.org). This is their 2nd edition and it is not just a book with recipes - there are stories of the missing also included with the recipes. For Jessie's case I sent in some of her most favorite things I make, including the Banana Bread she LOVES SO MUCH.

In August 2008 Jessie's story got a full page (in colour) in the National Enquirer. This story got so many calls from people all over the world, even someone from Nigeria contacted me after reading it.

There have been other magazines: CrimeWatch Canada, Oracle 20/20, even a national truckers magazine in the USA has Jessie's story coming out at the end of the month to coincide with her birthday.

There have been news storys in the papers, on the internet, on the radio and the television, not just in Canada and the USA, but other countries, too. Just newspapers alone have done about 150 articles on her case. THANK YOU ALL.

Missing Jessie for 4 Mother's Days

Sometimes people do not talk about those not here, mistakenly thinking that is what others want...

My parents never talk(ed) about their parents or my sister who died at 24 when I was 14. It is sad, but I understand their feelings. I can take it, they have (had) a hard time - who am I to say they had to be like me. My family all talks about Jessie to me - that I am grateful for. I have to talk about her, I think about her all the time and I work on her case, I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT HER. Thank God they let me.

For us to not hurt as we do, over our missing loved ones or victims of unsolved murders, rapes and all crime; would mean we were not lucky enough to have loved them this much. To be missing and hurting so much means there was a strong love that we would never trade a second of.

I mean for me, if I knew over 25 years ago that Jessie would go missing when she was 21 and I could only avoid that pain by NEVER being her mother in the first place, I would do it all over again - even knowing this pain would be waiting at the end of the joy. Love Glendene.

Mother's Day tomorrow & Jessie's 25th birthday on the 27th


First off, I want to wish all my wonderful Mom Friends a very Happy Mother's Day tomorrow, Sunday, May 10th. Let's all celebrate our children and remember how much they love us and of course, how much we love them.

Also, please say a special prayer for Jessie tomorrow and remind her what a wonderful daughter she is and how much I love her, miss her and how very proud I have always been of her, as I have been of all my daughters.

Jessie is really making a difference in the world, not sure why it had to be in this way, but no matter what, JESSIE FOSTER is known to many and her case is changing many things: how human trafficking is looked at; going to our nations capitol in a bid to try to get a national/international DNA database set up in Canada; helping others with a missing loved one in their family and trying to help them in any way possible as to the direction to go, people to contact and how to get active on the internet networking on every possible site you can; and much, much more. Without all the support we get from all of you, this would be all in vain, so THANK YOU ALL, for your continued support in our search for my international endangered missing daughter, JESSICA EDITH LOUISE FOSTER.

We will be honouring Jessie's birthday in a couple of weeks...May 27th is Jessie's 25th birthday. That is a milestone birthday and we all need to remember her and celebrate her life. Please remember to light a candle for Jessie, say a prayer and remember her with a smile. Jessie has always been a treasure - a kind, wonderful daughter who's small things are still so vivid in my mind...like when she was trying to get me to smile when she was in trouble for something and if I even cracked the smallest one she would grin and point at my lips and say, "See, you are smiling...you are not mad" and from that moment on, Jessie was no longer in trouble (don't get me wrong, the troubles Jessie got in were all minor and for the life of me, I can't even remember one incident in particular). Or when she gave me her "Jessie-look", which is a look that her younger sister Jennee (19) has down pat; I even tell her "wow, that is a look that Jessie gets on her face".

All my daughters, Jessie, Jennee, Crystal (26) and Katie (22) have so much in common, and for the life of me, I could never get their names straight when they were younger - LOL. Just like my mom with us. I love all my girls so much and now I am blessed to have a new generation to love - Jennee's daughter Maddie is now 16 months old and Katie's son JJ is 4 months old - they are the cutest, most adorable, most precious babies and I love them so much. I love all my kids with all my heart.

Lindsay Marie Harris - I hope you are Resting in Peace my girl...


PICTURED Lindsay Marie Harris: 1983 - 2006
=======
It is now early evening (for me - later for others) on May 4, 2009. On May 4, 2005 everything in Mr. & Mrs. Harris' life was perfect. Three beautiful grown children, their oldest son and younger twins - a boy and a girl. By May 5th their life was a wreck. Their beautiful daughter Lindsay Harris was reported missing from her home in Henderson (Las Vegas), Nevada. It was Sunday and it was Mother's Day. The next day in the mail, there was a card from Lindsay, wishing her mom a Happy Mother's Day. Three year later in May 2008 - again, near Mother's Day, they got a devastating call. Lindsay's remains were identified in the state of Illinois - she was found shortly after she went missing but no one knew who she was. Now, this year, with May 5th tomorrow and Mother's Day on Sunday, please, pray for this wonderful family.
Lindsay is still in need of justice. Her case is still unsolved.

My message to Jessie for Mother's Day approaching (May 10, 2009)


PICTURE: My Mother's Day 1996 present from Jessie - a cup she painted in school.

My beautiful Jessie, my daughter I miss so much. Mother's Day 2009 will be here soon, another Mother's Day without you. Mother's Day is one of those days that I have a bittersweet feeling about. I love being a Mother, it is my most favourite thing I do and the best thing in my life are my kids and celebrating it is very special to me, but with you not here, and me not knowing where you are, I just feel wrong about celebrating. Not just this day, but most celebrations seem wrong - how can I celebrate anything without you or at least knowing where you are. I feel as if I am going through the motions, but it is not the same without all my children and now all my grandchildren with me. I can't celebrate with all my being, with all my heart - but for the sake of Crystal, Katie (& Jake & baby Jacobus) and Jennee (& Catlin & little Maddison) I do try. For you all, I celebrate being a mother. Jessie, being your mother is something that I am very proud of and I hope that I have been as good at being your mother as you are at being my daughter. Baby girl, I miss you and I need you back so much. We all do. Your tiny little body and huge heart & soul have left a hole the size of the universe in our lives, and nothing but you will fill it. Love your Mama xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox.

Let's call this our April 2009 NEWSLETTER for Jessie's case!!!


PICTURED: Producer HERNDON GRADDICK & my daughter CRYSTAL FOSTER prepping for the E! Entertainment interview.

Of course, as soon as I posted this, I got a message from Linda J with the Vancouver Missing-Not Forgotten Yahoo Group letting me know that Jessie's story is mentioned again in the National Justice Network Update Newsletter (it was another time also - in the December 2007 issue, when they printed the article by ANDREW HANON of the [Edmonton] Sun Media called: SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES USED FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING - here is the link to the article: http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Edmonton/2007/11/11/4648414.html), and here is the message from Linda: "Glendene, the April 2009 newsletter National Justice Network Update (from CRCVC - Canadian Resource Centre For Victims of Crime) has also included your story about Jessie. For the full newsletter go to: http://crcvc.ca/njn/njn_April09.pdf - Or for just your article go to: http://www.crcvc.ca/enewsletter/apr_09/story05.html. There is also going to be a public briefing session regarding the Federal Ombudsman's Report on Internet Facilitated Child Sexual Abuse that will take place later in May."

First of all, I want to say, that I am ok. I have got so many emails and phone calls from my wonderful friends and supporters in Jessie's case to see if I am ok, and to say they are missing my emails, updates and info I seem to send all the time. Funny, because I get the odd request to remove someone from my addressbook as I send out SO MUCH stuff it either overwhelms them or crashes their Blackberries or other handheld email retrievers!! But I do not get too many asking me where are my emails!! It either rains or it pours! That is for sure. SO, thank you all friends for being there for me and for being worried (unnecessarily, but it makes me feel good - makes me feel loved).

Like I said, I am ok. It has been a hard past few weeks. Jessie's 3rd year missing came and went fast. We got her story told several times, thank you. I am always so grateful to the missing person networking websites and the media that keeps her case in the news; in the eyes of the people who want to hear, or did not know about Jessie yet. There are always people who want to know what is happening.

Then that last Facebook account being disabled after over 6 months of HARD WORK (seriously countless wasted hours, since everything I ever posted anywhere was gone, not just my page, but all my notes, links and everything) was such a let down (yes, I know - shame on me for trusting Facebook - after over a dozen accounts being disabled, you would think I would have learned, but darn it...they were so good for so long I just got comfortable I guess and let me guard down and spent too much time there). I have another one now for "MissingJessie Foster" and decided to start one for me, Glendene Grant and use it as a backup - if they keep disabling my Jessie accounts, maybe they won't disable my other one that will just be there in the shadows. Anyone who has Facebook, please send friend requests to both accounts.

– We still have our website: http://jessiefoster.ca/

– And my blogs - for Jessie: http://jessiefoster.blogspot.com/

– And for News Articles: http://jessiesnewsarticles.blogspot.com/

– My NowPublic site: http://my.nowpublic.com/jessiesmomglendene

– And MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/jessiesmomglendene

– Plus all the forums and other peoples sites, blogs and forums puts Jessie’s case at the top of most Internet searches for “Jessie Foster”, “Missing Jessie Foster”, “Missing Jessie” and it even comes up in a search for “Jessie” and now in “Human Trafficking” searches. THANK YOU EVERYONE, for making this possible.

– I also have TWITTER now, yes I know - I am a TWIT now (sorry, I think I stole that line from Vicki S or Polly F, I can't remember who, but I loved it)! My name there is MissingJessie so please go to http://twitter.com/MissingJessie and FOLLOW ME. I may not get a million Twitter Followers like Ashton Kutcher, but hey, even a 100 or so would be great - I have 43 so far.

Then my Internet modem starting going on the fritz. I called my provider and they are shipping out a new one, but it is taking FOREVER and because of that I have limited (and sometimes NO) Internet connection and that has also been hard for me. This (Jessie's case) is what I do. I know I am a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, auntie, friend....YES I KNOW THAT. But those things are under control you know what I mean. Jessie is still missing - Jessie does not have anyone else doing something, ANYTHING for her sake, for her case EVERY SINGLE DAY unless I DO IT. THIS IS WHAT I DO. What can I say? This is want I want to do. So, hopefully I get this new modem before the end of the week at the latest, even though the 3 to 5 business days they told me are up tomorrow, so hopefully by tomorrow at the latest.

Now, finally for some GOOD NEWS:

– I heard from Sarah with E! Entertainment...the documentary they filmed with Jessie's story in it (and Jennifer Kesse's, among some others), is titled "Young Beautiful and Vanished" & it is set to Air on August 28th, 2009. Don't worry - I will remind everyone before it comes on. I was hoping it would air sooner, but oh well, right! What is important is that is will be airing and obviously, with the past 3 years having just flown by, August will be here before we know it. But don't worry; I will be trying to get some other media attention before then. One person for sure is Haley from Radio NL here in Kamloops; she called the day of the interview and told me she would definitely broadcast when the show will be airing.

– Jessie’s story was in the March newsletter: http://foreversearching.net/march_09newsletter.html.

– I also got this message from Anne S: I am not sure if I mentioned that I am the Editor of The Crime Victims Report, the bi-monthly journal/newsletter for the victim’s field. Each edition has a "voice of the victim" column, and I would be honored if you could write this column for the next edition…so I had the opportunity to write a story on Jessie’s case for the VoV column. This will be out in May.

– I also had the chance to write about Jessie’s case for May’s edition of a national trucking magazine (with a circulation of 150,000 through the 18 Wheel Angels Program – thanks to Kelly Jolkowski, Mother of Missing Jason Jolkowski and the President & Founder of Project Jason: www.projectjason.org.
Help us find the missing: Become an AAN (Angels Awareness Network) Member: http://www.projectjason.org/awareness.html).

These have been or will be excellent exposure for Jessie’s case, plus of course, May 27th is Jessie’s 25th birthday, so having two stories published that month is great timing.

– I will also see if I can find out when the recipe book, "Profiles of Hope" from the Kristen Foundation (http://www.kristenfoundation.org) will be available and if anyone wants to order one, I will get you the info. Jessie's story will be in there along with some favourite recipes, including Jessie's favourite; my Banana Bread recipe I have used since I was about 20 (over 30 years). The best one ever!! The Kristen Foundation also does other forms of fundraising for the missing and one thing they do that helps others is buttons and bracelets. We are getting some JESSIE buttons soon. Thank you Joan P.

I also have to mention my other wonderful children. My oldest daughter, Crystal is living back in Kamloops (can’t believe she is 26-years-old); Katie (22-years-old) & Jake are now officially engaged, CONGRATS to you – baby Jacobus is nearly 4-months-old already and so cute & big; and my youngest Jennee (19-years-old) and her boyfriend, Catlin are both doing well…Jennee is back in school and doing well – Maddison is almost 17-months-old & cute as a button. And of course, my rock…my mountain Jim, is doing well. He is back playing ball now and is happy about that – we have played softball for over 10 years (well, Jim still plays but I stopped playing after Jessie went missing). And another of my Jim’s – my dad (I also have a brother named James [Jimbo] and my grandson Jacobus’ middle name is James [JJ]) – is doing well. He will be 83-years-young this July!!

So everyone…thank you so much for everything – your continued support means the world to me. Sincerely, Glendene – www.jessiefoster.ca – $50,000 REWARD

E! Entertainment will be here tomorrow

We are looking forward to our interview tomorrow, Friday, April 17th, 2009 - with E! Entertainment. I was hoping some of our local media would have called about this, but so far none have. This interview is big. They have tens of millions of followers and LOTS of people will be hearing about Jessie for the first time.

E! Entertainment has not done many interviews in Canada and they are looking forward to helping us spread the word about Jessie's case with their documentary on missing women. One good thing that Sarah from E! told me, was that when she was doing some investigation on Jessie's case, she was amazed that so many people had heard of her. This was like 'music to my ears' when I heard that. ALL THIS HARD WORK IS FINALLY PAYING OFF.

If our local newspapers, television or radio stations would care to share this information with our local friends, PLEASE, call me or come by tomorrow after 9:30am. From 9:30 to 10:30 is when they will be setting up and I was told that would be the best time for any local media coverage to be there. They are used to local media coverage when they do a story, as they understand that to that community, this is big news. I get calls from perfect strangers in town asking me how Jessie's case is going, as they have not heard anything for a while, so there are a lot of people who would be interested to hear about the interview.

Wish us luck with the interview and pray that this show helps us FIND JESSIE!

Your account has been disabled. If you have any questions or concerns, you can visit our FAQ page here.

I have SO MUCH stuff on that page, I did not think that I was getting disabled anymore, since this account was up since November. I had SO MUCH WORK put into this account, all the newspaper articles in albums...I am gonna go cry now. Glendene

Jessie Foster has been missing for 3 years edited

Jessie has been missing for 3 years



Jessie…my darling, sweet, beautiful daughter; I miss you so much it physically hurts me. You have been missing for 3 years. THREE YEARS. I cannot believe this. I want you back so badly. My life has changed so much since you have been gone. I can’t believe it has been this long. I have not stopped for one day, one hour, one minute except to sleep, eat or work. You are my number one priority now. Finding you is what I have to do…or die trying.

Your sisters miss you so much too. Jim absolutely can’t stand that this is happening to us…to you. Your dad, Tracy, Jodie and Alisha – everyone is in disbelief and shock that this tragedy has struck our family and that you are a victim. Of what we are not positive but the facts show that it is probably human trafficking.

Grandpa Grant (my dad) is doing well…he will be 83 in July. He misses you so much and is a pillar of strength for me. I have not talked to Grandma Foster (Jessie’s dad’s mother), but your dad says she is doing ok…sad, but ok.

Jennee & Katie have both had babies and Jodie & Alisha are both married and have had babies. Sadly, several people have passed away. Just a few months after you disappeared, Mark (Fraser) was in a very bad motorcycle accident and passed away. It was simply terrible – Matt had just turned 19. My cousin Linda (Auntie Billie’s daughter) passed away from cancer, but not before helping us with a few fundraisers on your behalf. A lot has happened…I can’t wait to sit down with you and tell you everything.

Jennee has a daughter, your first blood niece, Maddison Louise (after you) – born December 26, 2007. Jennee went in labour on Christmas Day…the last day we ever saw you in 2005. (Sadly, we never saw you again after that and you went missing 3 months later, but Jennee is positive that there was a reason that she went in labour that day, she was not due until early January.) Maddie is the cutest, smartest, most adorable little girl and has us all wrapped around her little finger.

Katie has a son, your first blood nephew, Jacobus James (after his daddy Jake and grandpa Jim, great-grandpa Grant & uncle Jimmie) – born January 7, 2009. Katie was due in December, but was 10 days overdue. JJ is the first boy in our immediate family and is a sweet, dear beautiful little baby boy.

Vicki-Sue (Jessie’s cousin) & Gord got married and they had another baby, a boy, Braedon – he will be 3 this year…he was born on Kalysta’s 6th birthday. She says he was her birthday present. Uncle Jimmie got married to Colette and they had a daughter Piper, who was 2-years-old in February. Wil (Jessie’s cousin) and Pam have had 2 babies together. Audrey will be 2 in June and little Liam born in February. Adam (Jessie’s cousin) recently got married to his girlfriend, Melanie and they are going to have a baby in October. I wish I was able to tell you every single thing that has happened, but there is no room, plus I can’t remember them all right now (guess what – Mommy is going to be 52-years-old this year and your Dad was 50 on his last birthday…Tracy will be 50 this month just before this terrible anniversary [stupid name]…unreal, yea…I know).

Your case has got quite a lot of attention and is bringing awareness to Canada, the USA and the world about human trafficking. Your story has been told locally, nationally and internationally and we will not stop until we find you or every single person in the world knows who you are. Wait until you see how many supporters we have in our search for you…you will be so honoured that so many people love you and want you back where you belong. Your big sister is crushed. She is probably taking it the worst of all except for me and your dad, because the older sibling always feels as if they have to look out for the younger ones. I know I did. I know Jim did. Crystal swears you looked at her when you turned back at the airport when we all dropped you off and she saw a look on your face that she never understood until after you went missing. She now knows it was a look asking to not let you go. But we did not know, we wish we did.

I could go on and on, but right now I have to close with this…when you were really little and we still lived in Calgary, my friend Jeanne D looked at your picture on the wall (it was your 1st birthday portrait and you were wearing the cute little green & white outfit Grandma Grant got for you), she turned to me and said, “You know, Jessie will be well known one day”. Seriously, she said that and I have never, ever forgotten it. I always had thoughts that you would be well known for other reasons, not for being an international endangered missing person. But the truth is: YOU ARE WELL KNOWN, my girl and we will find you.

I love you very much Jessie, your loving mom who misses you and wants you back with all my heart and soul.

Jessie's story

PICTURED: I had to post this picture so other can see that thankfully I have many good, great, wonderful things in my life that help get me through this terrible, terrible time of Jessie being missing. (Granddaughter-14 months & baby kitty 3 weeks old)

Jessie was taken on a trip to Ft. Lauderdale from Kamloops, BC Canada in April 2005. She came back with pictures of this awesome vacation with someone who was a friend of hers from Calgary, AB named Donald Vaz. When he wanted to take her on a 2nd trip I was very leery and questioned Jessie about his motive. She said I worry too much and went off to Manhattan, NY and Atlantic City, NJ. She was supposed to come back in a couple of days, but she called me to say she was going to go to Las Vegas to visit a friend - this friend was someone I had never heard of before, Yvonne Hubrechtsen (possibly a recruiter). Jessie got to Las Vegas on May 13, 2005 and called me to say that since her 21st birthday was in 2 weeks, she was going to stay there to celebrate. I was not happy about it, but there was not much I could do about it. One thing that haunts me to this day is that I said to Jessie that I wanted a contact number of someone in Las Vegas because 'if something happened to you or if you went missing, I need to have someone to call'. Jessie went missing 10 months later, under very mysterious circumstances.

Jessie is possibly a human trafficking victim - Jessie is also the possible victim of a truck driver/serial killer in Las Vegas, but there is no proof of anything. She simply vanished off the face of the earth the day after talking to her older sister Crystal, making plans to come home to go to their stepsister's wedding reception in Calgary, AB in April 2006. We never heard from Jessie again, her phone, credit cards, bank accounts or passport have never been touched since. Jessie was in constant contact with her family & friends in Canada throughout her 10 month stay in the USA. This contact stopped suddenly and will be 3 years on March 29, 2009.

Jessie's story has been told on the Geraldo at Large show (April 26, 2006), the Maury Povich show (October 11, 2006), the Montel Williams show (1st time-May 24, 2007 and they did an update on July 8, 2008 as one of his final shows before going off the air). Her story was also told on America's Most Wanted on November 15, 2008 (http://www.amw.com/missing_persons/brief.cfm?id=60803) and was even told in the National Enquirer in August 2008. There has been other magazines, national and international (CTV & Global TV in Canada & FOX News channel in the USA plus lots of local coverage in Kamloops, BC, Calgary & Edmonton, AB and Las Vegas, NV) coverage. Jessie's story has been told in Albuquerque, NM when it was thought she may even be one of the 13 bodies uncovered in the desert in mesa. There has even been 2 desert searches in North Las Vegas in our efforts to find my daughter. We even had to wait for autopys on 2 women found in the Las Vegas desert in 2006 and in 2008 we submitted our DNA for testing (waited from January until March for the results) so it could be tested against the Kilgore (Texas) Jane Doe found October 2006 and who's reconstruction was considered by some to look a lot like Jessie (not that I ever thought that...and after a 3 month wait we were told she was not Jessie).

I personally believe that Jessie is alive. This is my mother's instinct, which has been proven many times, as the police tell me, to be very accurate. I also believe that Jessie was forced/brainwashed/drugged to work at an escort agency. There has been hospital records of Jessie being beaten and I have personally talked to the manager of the escort agency, who cried over Jessie's disappearance, and who believed (as did all the girls who worked there and who knew Jessie, but who Peter had renamed Taylor) that Jessie was dead...murdered. I told her I did not believe this and the funny this is, I comforted her. This woman told me that when Jessie started working there she could not understand why. She told me that Jessie was NOT a drug addict, she was not doing this out of love for money or this lifestyle, she did it because she 'loved' Peter, who was by then Jessie's fiance, and because she was afraid not to. Jessie had been see by this woman and many others with bruises on her. This woman told me that she called Jessie 'Little Girl' and would say, "Go home Little Girl, you do not belong down her", but Jessie would say, she was too afraid to leave. This woman told me she took time to talk to Jessie each time she saw her because she said, there was just 'something about her'.

There is also the fact that Jessie was afraid of Peter Todd (her boyfriend/fiance/pimp[?])'s estranged wife, Trish VanArsdale (AKA: Sierra...her prostitute name) and Jessie told several of us that Trish pulled a knife on her and cut her hand - this was confirmed with me last year when a woman contacted me to say she worked at the agency that Jessie worked at when she came in one day with a cut hand, bleeding all over, crying and saying that the "f'ing b***h ex-wife of Peter cut her". Peter Todd also told me personally that Jessie as afraid of Trish and both Jessie and Peter told me about an incident where Trish was outside banging on their front door screaming for Jessie to come out / she was going to hurt her bad. Both Jessie and Peter told me and others that Jessie would NEVER answer the door of the house if she was home alone, in fear that Trish was on the other side.

NOW, this is really the 'condensed' version of what has happened to my daughter in Las Vegas and her disappearance for the past 3 years. Please help us keep Jessie's story out there for all to see, read & hear. Please post her picture & website any where you can. Thank you so much, Jessie's mom Glendene Grant - http://www.jessiefoster.ca

Early morning phone call (very early - 3:30am)

At 3:30AM today (March 14, 2009), my phone rang, no one there, rang again-no one. Rang a 3rd time and a man with a strong accent said he was reading Jessie's story in the National Enquirer (yes, I got the reporter to put my phone number in the article) and told me he was praying to God that I find her. He was so kind (I don't think he realized the time difference) and sincere. At first I was worried (getting a call at that time, but I was set to get up an hour later anyways), but when we finally got a good connection, he seemed very nice. Of course, who knows, right?

HOLY CRAP! Donald Vaz left me a message in our guestbook at www.jessiefoster.ca

I got this email from Donald Vaz tonight (NUMBER 480 - http://users2.smartgb.com/g/g.php?a=s&i=g20-03861-b1):
Hello Glendene, its Donald, I don't realy know what the point of having my picture up everywhere. if you know who her boyfiend "pimp" was at the time? whats the Big Mystery! Oviously that guy knows what happend to her. I would love to tell you my side of the story. At least you can ask me all your unanswered questions. about me. I realy realy liked jessie!,we had alot of fun together.I will never !ever !forget about jessie .And i pray that she comes back to you safely
======================================
I emailed him back:
First off, I have no idea that you are really Donald Vaz. If you are, why the hell have you never, ever contacted us in almost 3 years since Jessie has been missing. You know she is missing, yet you never call the mother of someone you say this about: I realy realy liked jessie!,we had alot of fun together.I will never !ever !forget about jessie .And i pray that she comes back to you safely It is hard to believe.
Your picture is up because people are putting it up. People are donating websites and making forums for Jessie. PEOPLE WHO DO NOT EVEN KNOW JESSIE ARE TRYING TO HELP. You do nothing, though you profess to really, really like Jessie. I SAY FUCK THAT.
Second of all, you took her to Ft. Lauderdale for reasons known to only to you, but we all know that in Manhattan you tried to get Jessie to prostitute for you - she told us. You told her you gambled your money away and you wanted her to prostitute for you. She was very upset...Jessie is a good girl. No matter what you made her do, she is a good girl. Now she may not even be alive. Do you ever think about that? Do you even wonder where she is or do you know? Are you friends with Peter Todd? Yvonne Hubrechtsen? I know more than you think I do, but I still do not know where my baby is.
You had a baby son die - you know how it is to be sad, to mourn your child. I do not even know if I should be in mourning....is Jessie alive? Where is Jessie? Who has her? What happened to my daughter? If this is really Donald Vaz, can you answer me? Jessie's mom Glendene. www.jessiefoster.ca - $50,000 REWARD
======================================
Our website administrator verified that the IP address was from Calgary and the email address he used matches the one he has on his Facebook profile. So, I guess it was Donald who sent that message. Maybe he will agree to talk to me, hopefully he answers the questions I have already sent to him.

March 8, 2008: Albuquerque news


Albuquerque TV News - www.rque.com

West Mesa Bones - Links to all stories in KRQE.com

Mom thinks mesa bones may be her child
Sunday, 08 Mar 2009
By Crystal Gutierrez
Web Producer Devon Armijo

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A mother from Canada emailed Albuquerque police last month to let them know her daughter, Jessica Foster, has been missing, and she thinks she may buried be in the West Mesa.

Since the first set of remains was found on the mesa, Glendene Grant has digested every news article about New Mexico's bones.

When the count reached six, she became concerned. When detectives said Jane Doe number eight disappeared in 2006—the Canadian mom hopped online and brought cries from Canada to Albuquerque.

"I just googled it, Albuquerque, New Mexico, I pulled up the police department I emailed the sheriff. The one I saw on TV," Grant said.

She told detectives about her daughter, Jessica.

"I told them that I had read a report that one of the women that they had found had been reported missing in 2006, and my daughter had also been reported missing in 2006," Grant said.

However, an Albuquerque detective emailed her that it wasn't her daughter. Dental records identified the woman as Michelle Valdez, 24, an Albuquerque native.

So far the remains of 13 people have been found, and two sets are confirmed to have come from women with a history of prostitution. It was a lifestyle similar to that of Grant's daughter before she disappeared.

Jessica Foster was last seen in Las Vegas, Nev., living with her pimp boyfriend.

"Just because that one person is not Jessie that doesn't mean that some of the other ones aren't her," Grant said.

So far only two have been positively identified. Grant said she will not stop calling until there is no chance her daughter is buried in the New Mexico desert.

"Until they have every single solitary piece of remains identified and every DNA match Identified to somebody Jessie's face is still going to be hovering around Albuquerque," Grant said.

Latest in Jessie's case

Hi everyone. A reporter named Crystal Gutierrez, from Albuquerque, New Mexico just called me. She heard about Jessie through Tanya F, our wonderful helper/supporter/hard, hard worker on Jessie's case (who emailed a ton of people...media, you name it, she has or will be emailing them...Crystal Gutierrez responded).

She asked me why we would contact that area about Jessie, so I told her all about Jessie's case (we talked for 37 minutes & some-odd seconds) and now they are going to tape an interview with me shortly, for tonight's news. She said it will be online later tonight (I will send/post the link as soon as I get it). This is awesome news...as you all know I just want everyone to know about Jessie's case and I pray for calls & interviews like this one.


What happened next is a bit harder to accept.........


I got the following message from a woman who's daughter Lindsay, was missing and found murdered 3 years later (her case and Jessie's case have MANY similarities, her mom & I call our daughters "the girls" or "our girls"):

Glendene, I don't know if you saw this but about a half hour ago fox news covered the story of a serial killer in Las Vegas and put the girls pictures up.I know you do not think that is what happened to Jessie but her picture was again on national TV which is what is important! I was unaware of this my son told me it was on when he was watching TV in the UK. I got off the phone and immediately put the TV on and it showed about 1 hr later. They did put out the info that they believe it is a trucker. They are possibly looking for more tips maybe from truckers or traveling individuals. Whenever they put things out there it is for a reason and tips do come in. Lets be hopeful for any information. I don't know anymore. Love and strength to you and your family.


I have not found it online yet, and I have it on FOX TV right now but it has not been on yet. I will let you know what happens with this.

Also, did you notice that the son who saw it first lives in the UK now. That is Lindsay's twin brother...sad for him to see it on TV without warning.

This is all happening so close to Jessie being missing for 3 years. The last time anyone talked to Jessie was March 28, 2006, she has been missing since March 29, 2006. I will keep everyone posted to what is happening.

Jessie's mom, Glendene (I will find my daughter, or die trying)
$50,000 REWARD!!!

[Jessie Foster, missing person] New comment on Donald Vaz...what do you think

PICTURED: Donald Vaz

When I get a message like the one I am sending below; I am very grateful (no one knows what it is like to be a mom of a missing child, unless you are). I just wanted to share it. You see, this is not a good month for me, and this message came today, after a couple of extra-sad days. I don't really like March...my mom passed away March 22/98 and Jessie went missing almost 3 years ago, on March 29/06 (Mom's funeral was March 29/98). Also, March 29/75 - beautiful 16-year-old Sharron Prior also went missing - found murdered 4 days later. This crime is still unsolved to this day. Sharron's website.
After reading the message my friend sent me this note: WOW THAT IS QUITE THE WRITE UP. To which I had to reply: It sure made me feel good...even though she used real big words & phrases...(just kidding). Seriously though, people do make me feel good - they hold me up just as I am ready to collapse.
So, I just wanted to share it with you all.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Donald Vaz...what do you think":

Dear Glendene,
Having read about your daughter's disappearance, i pored through your related sites & was truly moved by your eloquence. Your own fierce beauty as a warrior shines through it all like a beacon capable of emitting the vital extra surge to spark the desired denouement...
I am in awe of the colossal reserves of human strength you have had to invoke throughout this tortuous ordeal. Such stellar proportions can be placed in a league most of us will never be pushed to inhabit...
Whatever transpires to be true, you have already suffered through; whatever sinister secrets or ecstatic exultations sit in store as the 'final score', you have faced those purgatorial flames with an elephantine strength that proves you can win any war. Wow.
To offer another observation (for what it's worth!): while those in Jessie's immediate 'circle' are clearly corrupt, their silence is doubtless their 'm.o.' as societal outsiders rather than indications of direct involvement. But a BIG puzzle for me is the absence of any charges/investigation/questioning of Peter Todd's 'ex'-wife, who in TWO reports I believe is said to have hurt & threatened Jessie just before she went missing? Unless I'VE missed something, no such follow-up is mentioned.
For your part, you could not have met your maternal 'mana' with more dauntless courage. If your intuitive spirit and stalwart efforts do not bring Jessie home then nothing can... But above all your darling daughter has often counted her lucky stars to have you for a mom...
With warmest regards,
SarahC.

I got an email from an Albuquerque, New Mexico police detective


I got an email from an Albuquerque, New Mexico police detective responding to my email to her about the woman that they said was reported missing in 2006 and identified as one of the victims. She said that they believe the victims are local women to their area, as you can see from her message, I pasted it below. So, I am a touch more at ease, but still...not looking forward to tomorrow if these numbers keep rising.
Glendene - Jessie's Home Page - $50,000 REWARD!!

Ms Grant, I received your email regarding your Jessie. I believe your question is in regards to the female prostitute the pimp was found putting in the trunk of his car. That female was positively identified in 2006 at the time of the incident. The list of reported missing girl mentioned in the article are all local to the Albuquerque area. The remains we are currently finding will be identified using the DNA of family members in the national data base, Which it sounds like you are already a part of. If the leads in our investigation take us down a path leading out of state, we have your contact information and we will notify you. I wish you success in your continued search. Sally Dyer, APD Detective.

'A fundamental assault on liberties' - Canada not immune to illicit trade

'A fundamental assault on liberties' - Canada not immune to illicit trade
By Florence Loyie, The Edmonton Journal
February 25, 2009
LINK: 'A fundamental assault on liberties' - Canada not immune to illicit trade

Just out of sight and mostly out of mind, traffickers make billions each year buying and selling something far more valuable than diamonds, gold or microprocessors, than insider stock tips or international state secrets.

Theirs is a black market some experts think could one day overtake drug trafficking and become, after arms dealing, the second-most profitable criminal activity on the planet.

The commodities on sale in this violent underworld, every day, everywhere? People.

The United Nations estimates that human trafficking generates up to $32 billion in illegal profits every year.

The International Labour Organization estimates there are between two and four million victims worldwide at any time. Eighty per cent of them are female and 50 per cent are under 18.

"You talk about human rights," says Joy Smith, a Conservative MP from Manitoba and the vice-chair of Parliament's standing committee on the status of women. "This is the ultimate human-rights issue of our time."

The RCMP estimates that 800 to 1,200 people in Canada have been victims of human trafficking, but some non-governmental organizations peg the figure as high as 15,000. An additional 1,500 to 2,200 people are trafficked annually from Canada into the United States, police believe.

The U.S. Department of State's recent annual Trafficking in Persons report pegs Canada as a source, destination and transit country for men, women and children trafficked for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labour.

Smith has worked for years on the issue of human trafficking in Canada, Ukraine and Israel. "This is a growing problem in Canada," she says. "We don't know how many foreign victims are here, and Canadians are being victimized as well."

More needs to be done to educate the public and politicians about the impact of human trafficking, Smith says.

"We could do more to ensure traffickers are convicted and punished. We have the laws, but the onus is on the courts and prosecutors to make sure we have the evidence to follow through on convictions. And that just doesn't seem to happen."

Victims of human trafficking are tricked or lured by deception or physical force into captivity. Traffickers will use empty promises, lies, feigned love, intimidation, debt bondage, isolation, threats, physical and sexual abuse, starvation and even the force-feeding of drugs to control their victims.

It is a clandestine and violent world where victims are sold as chattel and discarded like rubbish or killed once they are no longer useful.

"There are aboriginal children who are being victimized," Smith says. "So-called friends will go to the reserves and talk to them. They will say come back to the city and they will get them a job. When they come to the city, sometimes their language is limited or they don't have city smarts, if you want to put it that way. They don't know how to protect themselves and they are forced into the sex trade. They are held as virtual prisoners."

Glendene Grant has believed for more than two years that her eldest daughter was a victim of human trafficking.

It's been almost three years since Jessica Edith Louise Foster last made contact with her family. Her mother has been on a desperate search ever since.

She created and maintains a website devoted to her search and has done dozens of newspaper interviews and been on several American talk shows to raise awareness about her daughter's disappearance. From her home in Kamloops, B.C., she surfs the Internet for information on human trafficking and for allies in her cause. There are days when she fears that her daughter may already be in a shallow grave somewhere in the vast desert surrounding Las Vegas.

Grant thinks the way her daughter ended up in Las Vegas working as a high-priced escort is a textbook example of human trafficking.

In June 1987, Glendene Grant and her husband, Dwight Foster, divorced and Grant and her daughters moved from Calgary back to Kamloops, where she had grown up. When Jessica was 16, she moved back to Calgary to live with her father.

The teenager earned top marks all through high school, her mother says. After graduating, she got an apartment and worked two jobs to support herself.

In the spring of 2005, Jessica moved back to Kamloops to help her mother with her younger sister. Around then, Jessica began getting phone calls from a man named Donald, whom she knew from her high school days.

"During one of her conversations with him, Donald asked her if she wanted to go on a short trip with him to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to visit his mother," Grant says. "We have since learned his mother lives in Edmonton."

Grant says she wasn't overly concerned at the time but did ask if the friend might not want something in return. Jessica assured her that wasn't the case, and came back a few days later with pictures from her fun-filled trip.

A few weeks later, Donald called to invite Jessica on a trip to New York City, followed by a quick jaunt to Atlantic City.

Grant said she had a bad feeling about the trip, but could do nothing to stop her 20-year-old daughter. Jessica assured her she would only be gone a few days.

But she never made it home. Instead, she somehow ended up in Las Vegas.

"I think Jessie was probably tricked," Grant says. "Initially taken on these fun trips and then taken down there and, just like in the movies, given an IOU -- 'I took you on these trips and now you owe us.'

"When you look at the very first trip, there are pictures of Jessie on a big boat, Jessie para-sailing and jumping on a trampoline in the middle of the Atlantic. She is grinning ear to ear. A later picture taken on the trip to New York, Jessie's eyes are different -- they are not my kid's eyes. Jessie never did drugs,

didn't even dabble. She never even smoked cigarettes."

Jessica got engaged to a man named Peter. She told her family Peter was a trust fund baby from a wealthy family and had enough money that she didn't have to work. He lived in a $3.5-million home in Las Vegas, owned several expensive vehicles and fancied all-night parties. Jessica kept in almost daily contact with her family through text messages or phone calls. She admitted to her mother that she and Peter sometimes had violent arguments.

Grant says a private investigator later discovered that over the course of the year before she disappeared, Jessica had been arrested five times for prostitution and once was so severely beaten she ended up in the hospital.

On March 28, 2006, Jessica talked to her older sister by telephone. It was her last contact with her family.

On April 9, Grant contacted Peter, who told her Jessica had left him the week before, taking all her belongings, except her makeup and hair dryer.

"Jessie was the type of girl who wore makeup even if she was just doing something casual," Grant says. "She just wouldn't leave her makeup and hair dryer behind if she went willingly."

She called the RCMP and Las Vegas police to report her daughter missing, and that day began her own search.

Peter was interviewed twice by Las Vegas police, but there was no evidence linking him to Jessica's disappearance.

Edmonton police say they are investigating several suspected human trafficking rings targeting vulnerable young Albertans, many of whom are forced into the sex trade in Las Vegas.

While police won't go into specifics, they say they have seen an increase in traffickers or recruiters using social-networking websites such as Facebook and Myspace to troll for victims.

"People, mostly woman, but some men, sadly have become a commodity that some gangs are putting on the shelf," says Staff Sgt. Kevin Galvin, head of the department's organized crime branch and gang unit.

"There is a lot of grooming that happens on social-networking sites," he says.

A recruiter will start up an online relationship, presenting himself as a high-roller with access to VIP rooms at nightclubs, expensive restaurants, drugs and all-night parties. He may appeal to a woman's vanity and tell her he can help her become a model or a singing star. There might even be a free trip or two.

But soon the party ends, and it's payback time. One night the young woman will be invited to a private party, where its a room full of men and herself, perhaps another girl or two. She will be told what is expected. If she resists, she will be gang raped and beaten. She will be threatened with death if she goes to the police. Her family will be threatened as well.

The victim is usually taken to another city, where she is further groomed for her new role, often by another woman. Then she will be taken over the border, usually to Las Vegas, where she will be used as a high-priced escort.

Or she might be moved from one Canadian city to another on a circuit of bawdy houses or massage parlours. Fear and embarrassment will likely keep her from telling her family.

Two years ago, vice detective Jim Morrissey was Edmonton's one-man human trafficking investigation unit, until the administration decided to reassign him.

It's not that his bosses think human trafficking is not a serious crime, says Morrissey. "My administrators made the decision that no municipal police force is really able to investigate human trafficking cases very well. We can handle a little piece of what is happening in our jurisdiction, but they are never a localized phenomenon, by their very nature. They travel the breadth of Canada. They travel over international borders."

The RCMP is mandated to deal with human trafficking, but they rely on municipal police investigators to identify victims. Like other major Canadian cities, Edmonton has international criminal rings running trafficked women through at any given time, says Morrissey. The problem is determining who is really a victim, Canadian or foreign.

"If she doesn't talk, or can't talk to me, or is afraid of me and won't tell anyone she was, in fact, trafficked, we'll just deport her and let the bad guys go," he says.

The other problem is that trafficked women never stay around long. They are usually moved every few weeks.

Last June, the federal government increased the temporary resident permits for foreign trafficking victims from 120 to 180 days.

During this 180 days, immigration officials determine whether a residency period of up to three years should be granted. Trafficking victims may apply for work permits, an option previously unavailable under Canadian law. Only four temporary resident permits were issued in 2007.

Foreign victims also have access to free medical care, dental care and counselling. Victim support services fall under provincial and territorial jurisdiction and do not all follow the same model.

Alberta is rewriting its victim support manual to include a module on human trafficking victims, said Carol Lemieux, a manager in victims programs for the Alberta Solicitor General and Public Security Department.

"Foreign victims may arrive with language barriers or they may have no identification or travel documents, so these are things support groups need to overcome," Lemieux says.

Sherilynn Trompetter, with the Alberta Coalition on Human Trafficking, says her group hopes to soon start training victim services volunteers in Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, Lac La Biche, Fort McMurray, Brooks, Airdrie, Cochrane, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.

"We can't have a blanket solution for the entire province because the situation in Fort McMurray may look very different from Brooks, where you have a lot of people from Sudan," she says.

Crime Stoppers of Edmonton and northern Alberta recently produced two educational clips on human trafficking with Morrissey.

Executive director Flavia Robles said the 90-second clips are aimed at educating young Albertans, primarily girls, about how to protect themselves from human traffickers or pimps.

"You don't think it happens here, but it actually does," Robles says. "We really need to reach out to our youth, particularly girls, on how it happens and how to protect themselves and how drugs and gangs will get you there."

Benjamin Perrin, founder of the Calgary-based The Future Group, a non-government organization dedicated to combating human trafficking and the child sex trade, says most Canadians have no idea how bad the problem is in Canada. In 2003, a Calgary police investigation of bawdy houses called Operation Relaxation exposed a human-trafficking network that forced city officials to re-examine how they license massage parlours and the women who work in them, he says.

"Trafficking is essentially a new label for a very old form of exploitation," says Perrin, an associate professor at the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law and one of Canada's leading experts on human trafficking.

"People often have a vision in their minds of people being shipped in containers and locked away. Those extreme forms of trafficking do happen, and we find cases of fairly severe physical and sexual abuse and forcible confinement. But the modus operandi of Canadian traffickers is to use psychological manipulation or coercion."

Canadian traffickers run the gamut from street-gang thugs to organized criminal networks, he says.

Perrin, who is writing a book on human trafficking in Canada, says he expects traffickers to flock to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, since the crime has been linked to past major international sporting events.

Last November, his group released a 25-page report entitled "Faster, Higher, Stronger: Preventing Human Trafficking at the 2010 Olympics," which outlines measures taken by host countries of recent international sporting events.

The report found that at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany there was a short-term increase in demand for prostitutes, but that extensive prevention campaigns, immigration controls and law-enforcement action likely prevented traffickers from filling that demand.

"It is disturbing to realize there are people who view other people as nothing more than a commodity to be bartered, Perrin says. "This issue for me is the most fundamental assault on human liberties that I have ever come into contact with."

Info on case

To any and all – those who have heard about Jessie and those who have not, thank you for reading on.
There is a lot of information following. Some of it you may know, some may be repeated but I have taken several different emails and put them all together so you can get the idea of how big Jessie's case is getting, but how much bigger it needs to get. We need to have everyone know who Jessie Foster is. We need to find her and bring her home. We need to make people aware of Jessie and that she is missing, and that her case is being investigated as a kidnapping/human trafficking case by the ATLAS Task Force. And we need to let people know that we have a reward we keep building, and we need to raise money to do a lot of this.
www.jessiefoster.ca

From Terri Miller of the ATLAS COMMITTEE / TASK FORCE: “The Intelligence committee consists of agents from the FBI, ICE, Transportation Security Administration, Dept. of Labor, U. S. Marshall, U.S. Attorney, Attorney General, Henderson PD, LVMPD, NLVPD, and Clark County District Attorney. A very high powered group.” “The task force has an intelligence committee/triage team comprised of local, state and federal investigators who will review the case on 3/21. Rest assured, I will keep you posted.”

My name is Glendene Grant and my daughter; Jessica Edith Louise Foster has been missing since March 29th, 2006. She simply vanished from Las Vegas after living there for 10 months. (Jessie is a Canadian Citizen.)
I have been working hard to keep Jessie's story alive, so it does not become a cold case with the police or be forgotten in the media and by all the people.
I am going to include several emails with this one, so you can learn about Jessie and her disappearance, this would be much better than me trying to explain everything.
Our website is at: www.jessiefoster.ca and our latest thing is that US Customs denied me going to Las Vegas (it would have been my 4th trip to the US in 8 months - 2 prior trips to Las Vegas and 1 to New York for the Montel Williams show in April). If there is anything you can do for me in my search for Jessie, I would appreciate it so much. These past 14+ months have been so very hard. Jessie has 3 other sisters who are hurting so much...so many people miss her and want her back.
Her case went from a Missing Persons case with the N Las Vegas Police & the RCMP, to ATLAS (Anti-Trafficking League Against Slavery) in Las Vegas and the Serious Crimes Division with the RCMP. On Friday I got an email from Solicitor General John Les, on May 31st, 2007, he received my email from the Honourable Gordon Campbell, Premier - who I emailed April 27th, 2007. S.G. Les told me he is ensuring that everything that can be done is being done. He has already checked that files are open with the correct departments within our government and wants to set up a face-to-face meeting with the Police in Vegas and the Consular Affairs Bureau in Ottawa.
I sure hope this email is not too overwhelming, as I have so much information to share with people who may be able to help me.
Please contact me by replying to this email or phone me at: 250-374-6137.
Sincerely, Glendene Grant...mother of missing Jessie Foster.

Here is the email from BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA Solicitor General JOHN LES:
Dear Ms. Grant:
The Honourable Gordon Campbell, Premier, has forwarded me your April 25, 2007 e-mail outlining the facts surrounding the disappearance of your daughter, Ms. Jessica Foster, and the steps you have taken to locate her. I want to take this opportunity to express my concern for you and your family’s situation and my admiration with respect to your tenacity in following up with both private and public sector organizations in your search for your daughter.
As you are no doubt aware, the jurisdictional responsibility for the investigation involving your missing daughter remains with the North Las Vegas Police Department and perhaps other United States (US) Law Enforcement Agencies, depending on the nature of their investigation files. You are also no doubt aware that Foreign Affairs Canada represents Canadians that travel out of the country and is the government body that supports these individuals should there be an issue. Having acknowledged the role of both US law enforcement and Foreign Affairs Canada, I wanted to ensure that you have the support of these agencies. I have asked my Ministry staff to contact the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Foreign Affairs Canada to ascertain the status of their current investigation files and determine if the Province of British Columbia could provide assistance in locating your daughter.
The RCMP confirmed the Las Vegas Police Department has contacted them about your missing daughter and they have provided, and will continue to provide, assistance to the Las Vegas Police Department for any request that is made with respect to the missing person investigation. Foreign Affairs Canada has also confirmed they have an open file and will continue to provide support for you and your family.
In order to ensure all is being done at the investigation level in the United States, I have taken the liberty of writing to the Consular Affairs Bureau in Ottawa and asked them to consider a face-to-face meeting/discussion with the North Las Vegas Police Department to ensure that law enforcement agency is treating the file with the respect it deserves and that they are actively involved in investigating your daughter’s disappearance.
I have also asked the RCMP to look at their National Policy on the Handling of Out of Country Missing Canadian Person Cases. I wanted the RCMP to ensure they provide all the necessary support to other law enforcement agencies and to ensure everything is being done in this country to aid in that support.
I hope that my involvement will have a positive effect on the investigation and that you and your family are successful in locating Jessica. I want to thank you for bringing this matter to my attention.
Yours truly
John Les
Solicitor General
pc: The Honourable Gordon Campbell
WOW - finally. We have posted the letter on our website for all to see!

THE LATEST THING TO HAPPEN:
Hi everyone...these have been the worst couple of days in a while. I was denied border crossing on this trip. I have been to the USA 3 times! The 4th time I get denied. Plus, before getting to the airport, my luggage fell out of my friend Brenda's truck, and I was freaking out that I lost it. Luckily, someone found it and called my home in Kamloops and left a message. We called and went back to Burnaby where we lost it. It was unreal, I thought I was going to have to go to Las Vegas without shorts, pants or tops plus my news article binder and posters were also in that suitcase. I would have had only socks & underwear from my smaller suitcase for the trip.
But we got it back, then we went to the airport and I was put into secondary inspection (this happened on my trip to New York because I did not have my destination address for the New Yorker Hotel, and I had to call the Montel show to get it - but did not happen on either of the 2 previous trips to LV).
I am not sure why I was put into secondary inspection this time, because we had all our destination info and if it was because of my record (from an incident that happened on April 4th, 1986, with nothing at all ever since then - young people take note, it follows you no matter what), it is the same record that I have had for over 21 years and it did not stop them from letting me into the USA any of the 3 other times. Plus, for several years I had a security license from Security Programs Division of British Columbia when I worked for Kanstop ADT Security Services. I had to get a record check and apply for my security license, all without any issues.
Anyways, because it was too late to talk to someone about this, we were told to come back the next day for an appointment with Chief Lundy. Luckily, the airlines told us they had rebooked us for the 2:10 pm flight the next day, because customs was not letting us get on our plane. We went back the next day at 10:30 am, giving us almost 4 hours until our flight. For 3 ½ hours I was in secondary inspection, then I was again, denied boarding. I asked to speak to the head person, who was Chief Patricia Lundy (the same person I was told was supposed to talk to me anyways) and from her body language I knew instantly that she was not going to be reasonable, and I was right. She flat out denied me entry, telling me that there was no way I was going to get across, because I have a record. I told her, "Ok", (I had to, there was no choice), "but this was really not fair...because the USA is allowing the likes of Peter Todd to stay there, and he is not even a citizen, and he is connected to convicted prostitutes and a missing girl, and you are denying me entry because of a 21-year-old record when I want to go there ONLY because my child is missing in the USA".
She said to me, (and I tell you, I will never forget how she made me feel), "Did your daughter choose to go to Las Vegas?" And I said, "Yes, she went there for her 21st birthday." And she said, "Well, then she made the choice, didn't she?" WOW - I still feel shaky just typing this. This came from another woman, possibly a mother or grandmother, possibly an aunt...but mostly, she was the highest ranking officer at the Vancouver International Airport USA Customs Office!
I told her I wanted to her name and contact info to a superior to lodge a complaint against her for her unprofessional conduct. This was totally uncalled for. She told me I had to leave the building instantly. I asked her officers (she is in charge of them all) for her name and contact info...none of them spoke to me. One of them (Officer Yodder) handed me a pamphlet, which we later saw to be a complaint form, but none of them said a word.
I asked again for this info and she started to call out, "RCMP, RCMP" and 4 officers rushed over to where we were standing. Brenda and I were just standing quietly there and she was loudly saying, "Take them out of here." One of them asked what happened, and no one said anything, so I said, "I asked for her superiors contact info and her name to lodge a complaint for her telling me my missing daughter is at fault for her own disappearance."
The police did not know what to think, so they told me that I could get this info at the Vancouver International Airport website and that we were to go with Constable Aaron Penner, of the Vancouver RCMP. As we were going out the doors from secondary inspection, another officer came up to us and said, "The reason you were denied entry was because you are going there to work." WHAT?? Brenda (who had not said anything up to now) said, "Our job now is to find Jessie, so if that is working...then yes."
I have a job that I cannot even work at, like I am going to the USA - to Las Vegas no less, to work. UNLESS...hmmm, what kind of work did he mean? I still cannot comprehend how this all happened.
Cst. Penner was so considerate. He listened to our complete story of Jessie being missing, my 4th trip to the USA in 7 or 8 months (in my entire life). He took our card with website and my phone number. He is going to find out what this is all about...about why they denied me now and never before. And how the Chief could speak to me this way.
So needless to say, the tickets for the trip (airline and hotel), which were non-cancellation and non-refundable are sitting on my desk. I was hoping there was someone I could contact from where we purchased the tickets and plead with them for a refund or at least to have the tickets kept valid for a year or whatever, so this money is not wasted.
Anyways, if anyone reading this email is able to assist us in ANY way...PLEASE contact me. We need to get back to Las Vegas - if we are not there, they will start to forget about her. We cannot have that happening.

LETTER ABOUT MY RECORD THAT I PUT IN OUR GUEST BOOK FOR OUR SUPPORTERS TO READ:
I want to tell you about my record, it was a bad time for me, I had a friend staying at my house in Calgary who got arrested for a small amount of both pot & cocaine (I did not know he was like that) until the police came there for him. He was not there that night, but his bag was, with drugs in it. The police charged me for his drugs, telling me that he will come forward...that no man could leave a young, single mother of 3 to take the trouble for him. He turned out not to be a good friend, obviously. He never came back.
Because at the time I was a single mother of 3 little girls, living in Calgary with my family living here in Kamloops, my parents got a lawyer here, went to Calgary and moved me here, buying this same house I am living in right now. It will be 20 years since I moved into this house on June 29, 2007. I do not have any other family or friends in Kamloops or pretty well everywhere, besides my dad, that has lived in the same house for 20 years or more. Raising not only 3, but 4 daughters here.
After moving here, our lawyer did lots of checking and background work on this case, he did not want me to end up over my head in trouble with this. He found that it would be better for us to move the case to Kamloops from Calgary, but that would mean pleading guilty and being sentenced here. A small city like Kamloops, BC is more laid back with something's than a huge city like Calgary, Alberta, and this was one of them.
When we went to court and the Judge heard the entire story, he wanted to ensure that I did not end up with this ruining my life. He saw the support my family gave me and that I had 3 small children - and was a single mother. He postponed everything until he had the chance to look up what was the smallest possible sentence he could give me, without Calgary possibly appealing his decision if it was to lenient. He found that there was one very low sentence of 45 days of weekends. That is what he sentenced me to - telling me he was sorry for all this and wishing me luck. It was very traumatic, but it was over 20 years ago, and it has not ever been an issue to my life until now. As I mentioned before - I was a licensed security person for several years.
I have been given the contact info for the Public Affairs Officer for US Customs & Border Protection in Chicago, and she is calling Washington to find out what can be done to possibly help us with this issue. I am to call her back on Monday morning (June 4th).
I will keep you up on what is happening on this end. Glendene.
www.jessiefoster.ca

HERE IS THE EMAIL I HAVE SENT OUT TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE (INCLUDING MR. GORDON CAMPBELL) WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT INFORMATION:
My name is Glendene Grant. My daughter, Jessie Foster has been a missing person now for over 1 year (since March 29th, 2006).
So much has happened, but the latest is that I have been denied entry to the USA on my 4th trip there (Las Vegas: Oct '06 / Las Vegas: Jan '07 / New York City: Apr '07). They say it is because I have a record that is over 20 years old, but the thing is, I have had that record on every trip so far. I have never wanted to go to the USA at any other time of my life, until my daughter went missing there. Now they won't let me back there.
When I was at Vancouver International Airport on Monday, May 28th, 2007, I was told to come back on the next day, Tuesday, May 29th to speak to Chief Patricia Lundy of US Customs. We went back there with plenty of time to catch our 2:10pm flight (we got there at 10:45am). After a long wait, before and after my turn came, I finally got to speak to the Chief. She then asked me if Jessie chose to go to Las Vegas, to which I answered, yes, she went there for her 21st birthday. She then proceeded to tell me, well - then, she made the choice that lead to this. I asked, are you saying Jessie is to fault for being a victim of kidnapping & human trafficking. To which she told me I was being kicked out of the airport.
She called for the RCMP to escort me and my friend, Brenda Rose, who was accompanying me to Las Vegas, out of the building. The 4 RCMP officers, who came over at Chief Lundy's commands, asked what was the problem. Chief Lundy did not answer them, so I said, all I wanted was her superior's contact info and her full name, so I could lodge a formal complaint against her for her personal opinions about that Jessie's being missing was her own fault.

The officers were not sure what to think or say, they told me that I could go to the Vancouver International Airport's website and find the link to complain on there. We started to leave the building and another Customs Officer walked up to us and said, the reason we are being denied entry, is because I am going there to work, to which Brenda responded, if you consider our searching a job, then I suppose that is working. As you can imagine that is ridiculous...going there to work?? What the world did he mean by that?

INFORMATION ABOUT JESSIE:
She was living in Las Vegas, NV (we are from Kamloops, BC and her dad is from Calgary, AB Canada, where Jessie lived with him from 16 years old for grades 11 & 12). Jessie was living in Las Vegas from May 13th, 2005 until March 28th, 2006, which was the last time we ever heard from her. Also since that time, her cell phone, credit cards, bank account & bankcard have not been touched. Ever.

I have been in contact with many advocates for missing people and their families, and I have tried to get as much media attention as possible, because as everyone knows, you need to let the public know about missing people in hopes someone sees their face and remembers something that can be of help to find them.

I am booked for June 8th, 2007 to do an interview for The Jason Project podcast, with Kelly Jolkowski. This will be available online.
I got an email today, June 5th, 2007, from the Drug War Chronicle that deals with customs denying people border crossing. They want to do an interview about Jessie’s disappearance and me being denied entry into the USA. Also, I got a call from the Edmonton Sun Newspaper to do another interview.
On June 4th, 2007, CFJC TV7 news (our local station) did an interview about this whole issue. Also, I got a call from Cherise Miles, Public Affairs Officer for the US Customs & Border Protection and Officer Brett Sturgeon. We had a 40-minute phone call about this whole issue of my denial at the border and the attitude of Chief Patricia Lundy (YVR). On June 3rd, 2007 there was as story in the Vancouver Province Newspaper about me being denied entry to the USA to continue my search for Jessie (more info in the article, link below and by going to our site: www.jessiefoster.ca and reading everything in a Guest Book message from me).
Also, on June 3rd, 2007, there were 2 radio stations that did interviews with me, News 1130 in Vancouver with Andrea McPherson and for the 5th time since Jessie’s disappearance, I was in the Crime & Punishment radio show with Mike McIntyre.
On June 2nd, 2007 there was a story in the Kamloops Daily Newspaper about being denied entry to the USA. The link to this will be available on our website soon.
On May 17th, 2007 I got an email from Court TV about doing a story on Jessie, I am waiting for more info on this, but hopefully this will happen. Also, a writer for Crime Watch Canada magazine has contacted me; they also want to do a story about Jessie. I will let you know more about these as I learn more.
On April 18th, 2007, I was in New York City for a taping of a Montel Williams show about human trafficking, which included Jessie’s story. It was aired May 24th, 2007 for the 1st time.
Also, Jessie was featured on the Geraldo at Large show on April 27th, 2006; her poster was shown & her story mentioned on the Maury Povich show on October 11th, 2006 (plus several repeats); had 2 consecutive news broadcast shows on Global National News (National here in Canada) with Kevin Newman. It was advertised all Superbowl weekend, across Canada on Global TV, & there was even a commercial about Jessie's disappearance & upcoming story the following Monday, February 5th & Tuesday, February 6th, 2007 that played during Superbowl halftime; has been on the local TV news several times; in many newspapers - including an article in the Globe & Mail on April 4th, 2007; on many missing persons websites; websites dedicated to her; on blogs; several radio shows, such as Mike on Crime, a Canadian National radio show (3 times to date); Missing Pieces, an American radio show February 6th, 2007; CFUN, a Vancouver, BC radio show (2 times to date); we were on talk radio 630CHED “Primo” (www.ched.com) with Lesley Primeau in Edmonton, AB, April 18th, 2007 (the interview was done from my room at the New Yorker Hotel in New York City while I was there for the Montel show taping); on April 20th, 2007 I was on CBC Radio for a live interview; I am not sure of what day, but next week we will be on the Calgary, AB radio show 770CHQR AM with Greg Bohnet, we taped the interview on May 15th, 2007; and we have been many, many times on the local radio stations in Kamloops.
But we have yet to get her talked about by everyone like they talk about Lacy Peterson, Elizabeth Smart, or Natalee Holloway, (who as we know, just like Jessie - went to another country and went missing). Her family has a one million dollar reward and our family, from over 1 year of fundraising [mostly from dinners, raffle draws, bottle drives, yard sales & donations] has been able to raise a $10,000 reward, (hardly seems fair for Jessie, don’t you agree?).
I still want Jessie's story to be featured on America's Most Wanted, Nancy Grace and the Oprah Winfrey show. There are many American magazines & shows I want to get Jessie's missing story in or on. I pray, hope & wish for that.
Even though it looks like we have done a lot in our search for my missing daughter, Jessie – we have not…as you can tell, we have not got her back yet, so the search is still on and still as strong as ever. Stronger even, as I believe Jessie is still alive and in need of being rescued. I believe she is a victim of human trafficking and the Las Vegas police and the ATLAS Task Force of Las Vegas also think that it may be a possibility.

Maybe you help us in our search. Maybe you can do a story about Jessie - maybe put a link on your website to our website: www.jessiefoster.ca. Maybe you can even somehow help us with fundraising. We have a fundraising trust fund set up at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce named Jessica Foster in Trust, transit # 00050, account # 98-27412 and we have an email address for any info: fundraising@jessiefoster.ca. Please feel free to pass our website and banking info to anyone you want to...the more the better.
I am going to attach a very long list with the sites, etc that I mentioned above, plus many more. My email address is this one: glendene@telus.net or jessiesmom@jessiefoster.ca and my phone number is: 250-374-6137. Feel free to contact me for any other info you want to know. Keep in mind our website has a page to printable posters that can be posted or handed out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my email, and I hope I was not too forward...but as I am the mother of a missing daughter, I don't feel that I can be too forward anymore, at least at this time of my life. Take care and please check out the following webpages about my missing Jessie. Sincerely, Glendene Grant.

Media on Jessie’s disappearance



TV Shows, Books, Magazines, Newspapers, Videos…media on Jessie’s disappearance

When Jessie first went missing, we realised it immediately. She had talked to her sister Crystal on March 28, 2006 several times. They had even been text messaging each other all day long. Jessie was making plans to come back to Canada to our home in Kamloops, BC to meet Crystal who was coming home from her job in an oilrig camp as a cook. Jessie told her she was all packed up and ready to leave. They were planning on meeting here and getting Jessie's car (which was parked in my backyard then and still is now), and the two of them were going to drive to Calgary, AB to go to their stepsister, Jodie's wedding. When they ended their 10th call that day, it was with the promise to talk again tomorrow.

We have never, ever heard from Jessie again. EVER!!

The next day Crystal told me "Mom, Jessie was supposed to call me today and hasn't and she has not returned any of my calls!" I thought, "That is really weird!" You see, Jessie has kept in constant contact with us for the 10 months since she was living down in Las Vegas (in a home in North Las Vegas). So I tried to call her, and only got voicemail. This worried me.

The next day, one of my other daughter's, Katie, told me she had been trying to reach Jessie but could not and she was not returning her calls. This REALLY worried me. For the next few days I called and called and called her...always getting her voicemail. Until I got the message "VOICEMAIL FULL". This really scared me. Jessie had had the same phone number for years and her voicemail NEVER, EVER got full. I was scared to death.



Geraldo at Large did a story on Jessie's disappearance only a few weeks after she went missing - this was aired April 24, 2006 - http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=5643107135068549039&pr=goog-sl

NOTE: at the 3 minute & 47 second mark of the video is the segment from the Maury Povich show where they mentioned Jessie's case and showed her picture. That show was originally aired on October 11, 2006. PLUS: Jessie's case was also shown on the Montel Williams show 2 times, 1 was aired on May 24, 2007 (filmed at the studio) and 1 was aired July 8, 2008 (filmed at our home in Kamloops, BC Canada)

Right after the Maury part is a video made for us in 2006 by MBW. This link is to one of the other videos MBW also made: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5851376373243199781

America's Most Wanted aired Jessie's story on November 15, 2008: http://www.amw.com/missing_persons/brief.cfm?id=60803

Jessie's story in the book by Lisa Wojna: MISSING! The Disappeared, Lost or Abducted in Canada - chapter 6, Follow Your Daughter Home: Las Vegas Bound (I think August or September 2007). Thank you Lisa. It was also told in the National Enquirer by Sharon Ward (August 2008); in the Oracle 20/20 magazine (September 2008); in CrimeWatch Canada magazine (October 2008).

How can it look like someone is laundering money, but the police have never done a thing about it???

Sierra 2598 Incorporated - 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV 89031 / phone: (702) 642-4815 / Miscellaneous Personal Services Vacation & Resort Time Share - http://www.a2zcity.com/North+Las+vegas_NV/index-1.php


This is how it went:

1) 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV 89031 was built & owned by Sierra 2598, Inc.

2) Sierra 2598 Inc. sold 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV 89031 to Trish Michelle VanArsdale (AKA: Sierra - that is the name she uses for reasons acceptable in Sin City - coincidence...hmmm).

3) Trish Michelle VanArsdale (AKA: Sierra) added Peter Bertrand Todd (her husband & father to her child, S**h) to the deed to the house at 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV 89031.

4) Peter Bertrand Todd (her husband & father to her child, S**h) removed Trish Michelle VanArsdale (AKA: Sierra) from the deed to 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV 89031 and Trish Michelle VanArsdale (AKA: Sierra) & S**h moved out.

5) My daughter Jessica Foster moved into the house at 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV 89031 with Peter Bertrand Todd (whom Jessie believed to be her fiancé at that time) and his identical twin brother, James Todd (North Las Vegas physical education counselor...or something like that, with the kids).

6) My daughter Jessica Foster went missing from the house at 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV 89031 on March 29, 2006 and the last person known to have seen/heard from her is Peter Bertrand Todd (whom he believed was her fiancé at that time) after packing her belongings to move back home to Canada, after being physically threatened & harmed by Trish Michelle VanArsdale (AKA: Sierra). I have spoken to a witness to this.

7) James Todd (Peter's twin brother) moved out of the house at 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV 89031 on April 15, 2006...2 weeks after my daughter Jessica Foster suddenly vanished.

8) Peter Bertrand Todd put the house at 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV 89031 up for sale shortly after that.


Trish Michelle VanArsdale's websites for her prostitution business:

1) http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.sierraoflv.com (accessible through the WayBack Machine online, since it is no longer an active online website...but look at the name...Sierra of LV).

2) http://www.sincitysweetheart.com (hit enter and it says in huge letters: Sierra - this is her recent one).

3) http://www.lvrj.com/news/39633407.html - (not Trish Michelle VanArsdale's site, but I added it because I wondered why she is not considered one of the "Las Vegas' 50 most prolific prostitutes"?)

FOREVER SEARCHING JESSIE FOSTER

Parental Abdcution Awareness GLS

Project examining the psychological impact of missing persons on families


I got this message from LaDonna Merredith with the Let's Bring Them Home Organization - what a good idea that Professor James Lampinen and those at the University of Arkansas have come up with - a project examining the psychological impact of missing persons on families. The time to do more for the families of the missing as long passed, maybe someone will know how to 'help' us, if that is at all possible.

I do not like being on anti-depressants...I am depressed, but not clinically...it is just a sadness in my heart that simply does not go away. If there is a way to help us without going to someone like I did, it took 7 months on a waiting list to see some psychologist or whatever he was, only for him to tell me, well, you have spent 7 months trying to find Jessie, it is now time to put it to rest, to mourn her 'death' (yes, death) and carry on. I said, "I WAITED 7 MONTHS FOR THIS?" Then I left!!!

Jessie's mom Glendene - http://www.jessiefoster.ca
$50,000 REWARD for info leading to the return of Jessie Foster


Please see the note below and pass on to others:

My name is James Lampinen, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Arkansas. My research addresses questions at the intersection of psychology and the legal system. Much of my recent research has focused on the problem of missing persons.

We are currently working with Let's Bring Them Home - http://www.lbth.org/ - on a project examining the psychological impact of missing persons on families. We hope that this study can help us develop better ways of helping families to cope with the trauma of having a family member go missing.

We are seeking your help in recruiting families to participate in the study.

The survey is approximately six pages long and can be completed in about 30-45 minutes. The survey has been fully approved by the human subjects review committee of the University of Arkansas. Participants' responses will be treated in the strictest confidence. Only the researchers will have access to the individual responses of participants. In order to examine the long terms effects of having a family member go missing, participants will be invited to complete follow up surveys.

If you know of family members who are interested in participating in the survey, please have them contact the researchers at lampinen@uark.edu.

After contacting us, participants will be provided with a web address where they can complete the survey at their convenience.

Information about Dr Lampinen: Dr. Lampinen is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Arkansas. Dr. Lampinen received his bachelors degree in psychology in 1991 from Elmhurst College and a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology in 1996 from Northwestern University. He spent two years as a post-doctoral fellow at the State University of New York at Binghamton before joining the faculty at the University of Arkansas. Dr. Lampinen has authored over 40 articles/book chapters. He is currently under contract with psychology press for a book entitled The Psychology of Eyewitness Identification and another book entitled Protecting Children from Violence.

Just had something to say...

I wrote a story & posted it with some newspaper articles about Donald Vaz and yesterday I got an anonymous comment, to which I replied, but it caused me to do a lot of thinking last night and now I have something to say about this.

First off, here is the address to the story: http://jessiefoster.blogspot.com/2008/10/donald-vazwhat-do-you-think.html - you can read what she commented on.
============================================
Second of all, here is here comment:
Anonymous said...I am really sorry to hear about Jessica. No one should have to go through this, however I have been involved in the prostitution industry for many years and have to disagree with some of your views. Do I think Donald Vaz had anything to do with your daughters disappearence? No I do not. I have known Donald since he was a child and even though he lives a lifestyle doesnt make him a murder. I would suspect that her pimp in Vegas, which I have lived and worked has something to do with it. She wanted to be with him, working for him and I truly believe was not forced into anything. Pimps are not with you when you go on calls, when you are turning tricks, therefore to say they are forcing you when if you really wanted to leave you could ever night when you leave home to go to work. It was just a choice she made. I really hope they get answers to your many unanswered questions so that you may have peace - February 11, 2009 2:18 PM
============================================
Thirdly, this is my response to her comment:
Jessie'sMomGlendene said...I appreciate your message very much. I never once said that Donald Vaz was a murderer...I actually think that Jessie is still alive, at least I hope & pray she is. If you know something we don't, remember we have a $50,000 reward.
I also agree that the pimp has something to do with Jessie's disappearance, but we do not know to what extent.
I think that you, having made the choice to 'be involved in the prostitution industry' you do not understand the difference. Even if these girls are alone, they do not feel safe, not safe enough to run away, especially if they were told that something bad will happened to their sisters, or their mother or someone dear to them. The girls feel that they are better off dealing with the likes of these people, rather than having their families at risk.
Again, I appreciate your message to me, and please know that we want and need Jessie back very much and if you are able to help us, please do. Thank you, Jessie's mom Glendene - http://www.jessiefoster.ca - February 11, 2009 2:34 PM
============================================
And finally, this is what I want to say:
I am so sad that even Anonymous (sadder that she chose to stay anonymous, but that is totally her choice, of which I respect), who at one point in her life, decided to CHOOSE to be a prostitute. I do not have a problem with that, as a matter of fact, it is something else that is sad but very much a reality...when I woman chooses that lifestyle, but in many cases was left with very few choices, and that was one that helped her situation at that particular time, no matter what it may have been.

I also want to say that if she has known Donald Vaz since he was a child, then she also knows that him and his brother have spent time pimping - there are articles showing this is true, as Lima Vaz has been arrested and spent time in jail for this offense. She also knows that Donald tries to talk women into taking trips to the USA and tries to talk them into driving cars from Canada to the USA, for purposes unknown to me...but all I can say, is it does not sound good.

If you have known Donald Vaz since he was a child, you know that he packed up his wife and all the children and moved to Las Vegas...then when their marriage fell apart, the mom moved back with the kids and married someone else (forgive me if I got the time-frame confused...she may have remarried in Las Vegas, I am not positive at this time).

If you have known Donald Vaz since he was a child you know that he and his wife lost a child to death when it was just an infant....HOW DID THIS NOT CHANGE HIM? HOW DOES HE NOT KNOW HOW A PARENT FEELS ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN? Donald, I hope to God no one does anything to your children or stepchildren (even your ex-stepchildren), they do not deserve it - JUST LIKE JESSIE DID NOT DESERVE THIS!!

So, with all of that being said...she was looking at Jessie through her own eyes. Through the eyes of someone who chose to live that lifestyle. Through the eyes of someone who was not beaten (as Jessie was...there are hospital records to back this up), who was not brainwashed (as we believe Jessie was...knowing my daughter as I do, as her her sisters and her friends all do, we know that Jessie was not the type of person to simply disregard her family and carry on a wonderful life leaving us as we are now...broken, sad and determined to get Jessie back. Leaving us to believe she was probably told we would be harmed if she did not do as told).

I have seen this before. People who are so sad for what we are going through. Who pray for Jessie to be found, one way or the other. People who's hearts are totally in the right place...but, and this is an important BUT...they seem to end their kindhearted messages with comments like: IT'S TOO BAD SHE GOT INVOLVED IN PROSTITUTION or IT'S TOO BAD SHE WAS BLINDED BY THE GLITTER & GLITZ OF VEGAS or WHEN YOU BECOME INVOLVED IN THIS LIFESTYLE, THIS STUFF HAPPENS or, and here is the big one...IF SHE WANTED TO, SHE COULD HAVE RUN AWAY WHEN THEY WERE NOT WITH HER!!!

"Here we go again", is usually my first thought, or "oh my God...I totally thought they understood, but they completely didn't". You see, if they did, if they REALLY understood the concept of human trafficking, brainwashing, drugging - no one, I repeat NO ONE would say those things...they would not even think them.

So, that is what I had to say on this topic. Jessie's mom Glendene

Reaching Out to the Families of the Missing


PICTURED: Todd Matthews
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got the following information from Todd Matthews from NamUs, among other missing persons organizations (I have been on the Missing Pieces Radio Show a couple of times, and both times it was Todd who interviewed me. Todd is an advocate for the missing who has been there for many in their time of need, myself included), and I am resending it to everyone. Please share this with others.
Thank you, Glendene.

$50,000 REWARD

NOTE: I also got this message from Todd personally after I sent it out in my email to over 1,200 people (I am also posting it on my MySpace, NowPublic, blogs, forums...everywhere I go) "Thanks you so much Glendene --- no matter where I go or what i do -- Jessie will be with me in my heart. We will never stop looking. -Todd"

I care for Todd so much for all he does for so many people...Glendene.

Reaching Out to the Families of the Missing -

A missing person is indeed the greatest tragedy at the individual family level. It's just hidden in the masses of others unaffected. If a entire city experienced the situation simultaneously -- imagine the impact on the entire nation.

Even in a small city like my hometown of Livingston, Tennessee. If each family were to feel the loss at the personal level at the same time -- imagine the magnitude of the event. Without the shared experience of the tragedy it becomes lost in the shuffle of day to day events.

That's why it is so important to make the resource of http://www.NamUs.gov known to the public. It is a tool you can use at the family level.

The Missing Persons Database contains information that can be entered by anyone. Before a missing persons case will appear on this Web site, however, it will be validated. The site also provides links to state clearinghouses, medical examiners and coroners, victim assistance groups and pertinent legislation. There's over 100,000 known missing persons in the USA.

The Unidentified Decedents Database contains information entered by medical examiners and coroners. Anyone can search the database using characteristics such as sex, race, distinct body features and dental information. There are up to 50,000 cases of unidentified remains in the USA.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) is the first national repository for missing persons and unidentified decedent records. Unidentified decedents are people who have died and whose bodies have not been identified.

NamUs consists of two databases that anyone can search. The Justice Department hopes that law enforcement officials and the public will use the databases to share information to solve cases.

All users are on the same page, the same core data. But law enforcement users have a more intense level of access to information not available to the public. So the system can be used as an investigative and communication tool.

We encourage law enforcement to register for access to the system as soon as possible.

The NamUs Missing Persons database can be directly accessed via - http://www.FindTheMissing.org or via http://www.NamUs.gov

Message from Attorney General John Ashcroft on Missing Children's Day

When a child is taken, a family is devastated. When a child disappears, the absence and pain ripples throughout the entire community, and even the country. When children are exploited or mistreated, and that natural spark in their eyes is diminished, our world is diminished.

Every day, families and law enforcement work hard to protect our children. No parent wants to experience the anguish of a missing child, but if that dreaded moment should occur, this guide will be a valuable resource for family members.

When Your Child is Missing: A Family Survival Guide was written by parents and family members whose children were abducted, and tragically murdered, or are still missing. It provides helpful and practical tips for families about what to do when their child is missing and how to best help law enforcement in the search and recovery of their child.

All Americans, however, play a vital role in protecting our children. A national awareness about missing children's issues means more homecomings for those that are lost. Together we can, and we must, work to ensure the safety of our children.

Sincerely, John Ashcroft

My belated Christmas Letter

THIS IS THE LETTER I HAND WROTE TO OVER 50 FAMILY MEMBERS & FRIENDS AND SENT OFF AT THE END OF JANUARY...IT WAS MAILED WITH A CHRISTMAS CARD...BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!!!

Everyone noticed that I never sent out any cards at Christmas-time. I thought about it a lot, but never got to it. But I want to share some family news with you. Jennee's baby, Maddison, just turned turned 1 on Dec. 26th - WOW - did she grow fast!

Katie's baby was born Jan. 7/09 (10 days overdue) at 7:16pm - 9lbs, 12ozs and 22 inches long. He is a very healthy, very big baby boy! They named him Jacobus (after his daddy) James (after Katie's daddy & my daddy - NOTE: my dad will be 83 years young in July & doing pretty darn good). The baby, we call him JJ, & Maddie, too, are both so cute! I do have gorgeous kids and grandkids. We do love our babies a lot!

Crystal just left Kamloops a few days ago to go back to Calgary for work. She was here to celebrate Christmas with us, and also Maddie's birthday, her own birthday, New Year's Eve and the birth of her sister's baby boy! Thankfully we got to celebrate those special occasions with her.

Jim and I are are doing ok. As well as expected with Jessie still missing. It was 3 years ago on Christmas day that I last saw my girl, so the Christmas season is very hard for me. Thank God my grandchildren were both born at that time of the year. So...we all made it!

2008 was a very busy year for Jessie's case, ending with the Nov. 15/08 airing of America's Most Wanted showing Jessie's case along with 3 others similar to hers (link to story: http://www.amw.com/missing_persons/brief.cfm?id=60803). HOWEVER! Jessie's case is different than the other - most obviously because Jessie's clothing went missing when she did, so it changes things a lot! Please pray for Jessie & pass out our website (http://www.jessiefoster.ca).

Also, donations are gratefully accepted towards our investigation into Jessie's disappearance. We had no idea how expensive it was to keep a missing person's case active for nearly 3 years. Please help us! (Jessica Foster in Trust - transit# 00050 - account# 98-27412).

Thank you for being here for us throughout this ordeal.
Remember: 2009 is the Year4theMissing!

Love Glendene, Jim and family.
