The Destiny Of 17000 Disappeared

@TaraAlterbrando” Six kids were taken one random day at school and went missing. Eleven years later, five out of six of those kids came back with no idea of where they've been. After when there was no evidence or a trace to find them, the people who watched and listened, left behind moved on, or tried to like the parents whose kid was taken away. They're sixteen, and they are okay. Scarlett comes home and finds a mom, she barely recognizes, and doesn't really recognize the person she's supposed to be, either.

Madeleine McCann, a young child of three years old, was visiting the popular Portuguese resort town of Praia da Luiz along with her parents and younger siblings, as well as a group of her parents’ close friends, when she went missing on the night of May 3rd. Madeleine’s disappearance became an international sensation and various police departments in both Portugal and the United Kingdom, as well as Madeleine’s parents, would conduct independent investigations into her disappearance and the circumstances surrounding that night.

Caylee Anthony’s murder was not a random act, but rather an exact plan that was put into place leading up to and after her death. When she disappeared in July 2008, Caylee Anthony was two years old and her mother, Casey Anthony, was an outgoing twenty-two year old. Due to Casey’s frequent partying and drinking, she claimed the identity of Caylee’s father was unknown, but he may have died in a car crash before Caylee’s birth. While the father of Caylee is unclear, Casey’s grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, were highly involved in Caylee 's life. In Orlando, Florida, the Anthony family carried on their lives as normal until July 2008 when Cindy called 911 reporting ‘“I found out my granddaughter has been taken, she has been missing for a month’” (Escherich). On that hot summer day, the Anthony household was changed forever. Immediately, Casey Anthony was questioned for not reporting Caylee’s disappearance for over a

The following content is not a love story about how I found my twin brother, and how we bonded. This is the story of when I looked for something I did not want to find, someone so dark, filled with hate, and determination to ruin my life. Some secrets are best kept hidden; One always think that the truth will always protect us, however, sometimes knowing the truth can kill us, and perhaps this is the reason why my parents did not want me to know. My parents always told me they loved me, so, I had no clue why they did not want me to find him.

In Jaycee’s situation, when she was kidnapped the media got involved and the family pleaded for their daughter back. But, after a long period of time hope was given up. Society comes together in the beginning of any accident, but as time goes on and the act is not fresh on people’s minds people forget. People forget that there are missing children. People forget that the mother of this child is still looking.

Stephanie Kallos’ book Sing Them Home, is a tale woven with intricate patterns and amazing details. Her writing leaves the readers with many questions, and one question that it left me with, was whether or not the children would find evidence of their mother. On one hand, the children may find some evidence of their mother. This seems likely because of the fact that she had appeared in the book. Although she wasn’t necessarily alive, she seemed to be watching over her children on the on the day that their father dies.

“Excuse me, could you help me find my children? I’ve looked everywhere for them, but I can’t seem to find them.”

Two nine-year-old girls are abducted from a bus stop. Both are found dead in a drainage ditch the next day, disposed of less than 100 yards away. The press refers to the victims as “fallen little angels,” and the investigators do not conduct an investigation into the victims’ family histories, focusing instead on a possible serial

The morning of May 3, before Madeleine disappeared, Kate McCann recalls a question that her daughter asked her over breakfast. Madeleine asked her mother, “Mummy, why didn’t you come when we were crying last night?" (Tresniowski 1). This question prompted Madeleine’s parents to watch their children more carefully at night. Throughout the family’s stay in Portugal they had been going out to eat every night with their friends, leaving their three children alone in their rented vacation apartment.

I hate going to the grocery store - Harsh fluorescent lights buzz away overhead, a sea of screaming colors jump off the shelves, and god forbid you should make eye contact. When you finally reach the checkout stand, the cashier offers the obligatory "did you find everything today?", and whether or not you did, you say "yes". The cashier says "you saved $9.67 today". When you reach for the receipt your eyes meet, and for a fleeting second, you actually see the person standing in front of you. You linger a millisecond longer than intended, and in that moment the world stops. Slightly embarrassed you both turn away. As you walk away, you realize that was the most honest communication you've had all day. Then you get behind the wheel, and off you
