“In Just the Last Two Weeks, Dozens of Children in Iowa Have Vanished”

Doing some basic statistics. There are 260 missing persons reports issued in the last year that are still listed as open cases. Throwing out all the familial abductions and everyone over the age of 18 brings it down to 191.

Of those, 41% are boys and 59% are girls. The average missing age is 15 +/- 3 years. Well over half of the missing boys are African American or Hispanic, so I’m guessing most of that is related to gang shit, so I’m going to focus the rest of the statistics on the girls.

Out of 112 missing underage girls over the last year the worst areas have been: Davenport (32 missing, 7 in the last six weeks) Des Moines (23 missing, 9 in the last six weeks) Dubuque (8 missing, 4 in the last six weeks) Cedar Rapids (8 missing, 4 in the last six weeks)

The real issue here is sex traffickers operating out of the cities, and it’s not just a problem in Iowa, but across the country – corrupt city officials are allowing these groups to operate with impunity so long as they prey on neighboring counties and states.

About 90% or more of the abductions are in cities along the three major highways going from Iowa into Chicago (Highway 20, Highway 30, and Interstate 80) with 60% of all abductions happening in cities off of I-80. High activity periods lasting 2-4 weeks are interspersed with 1-2 week lulls in activity. During high activity periods, 2-8 girls are abducted each week along I-80.

One interesting fact about the disappearances, is that they seem to happens in pairs.

Update: In a reaction to the news coverage the recent missing persons cases has received, the DPS responded. Iowa DPS says the number of “missing juveniles reported in recent weeks is in line with historical numbers.” It is important to point out that this does not make 34 missing children any less newsworthy or otherwise “sensational.”

A young University of Iowa student made headlines recently after she disappeared during an evening jog—but she is just one of the dozens of people who have been reported missing in Iowa in the last 10 days, and the overwhelming majority of the disappearances are children.

Mollie Tibbetts, 20, has become the latest face of the missing person database this week after she was last seen going for a jog near her boyfriend’s house on the evening of July 18, and she seemingly vanished. Dozens of people of have pitched in to help search for the college student, and as she appeared to have no motive to flee, and her closest friends and family members have cooperated with police, it raises troubling questions about whether she was abducted.

However, Tibbetts is not alone. According to the Missing Person database published by the Iowa Department of Public Safety, 48 people have gone missing in the last two weeks, and 34 of those people are children.

On the same day that Tibbets disappeared, two minors were also reported missing in Iowa—Mackenzie Lipp, 16; and David Harn, 16. In the next two days, another eight children were reported missing—Mackenzy York, 15; Malachi Vanderpool, 15; Nazario Campbell, 13; Joshua Wallace, 17; Nia Howe, 15; Madeline Francis, 15; Joesiah Armstrong, 14; and Yaritza Arita, 15.

Thomas Bishop, 16, was reported missing on July 22, and Isabelle Buckman, 14, and Yvette Avila, 17, on July 23. The numbers then increased again July 24 when five children were reported missing—Summer Williams, 17; Asa Starr, 14; Belinda James, 15; Alberta Harlan, 16; and Maydelin Guerra-Albatado, 15.

Tyron Woolery, 16; Serenity Wieman, 13; and Emagehn Champagne, 17, were all reported missing on July 24. Six people were reported missing in Iowa on July 26, and all of them were minors—Daishaney Phillips, 16; Anna Marousek, 17; Eric Magnussen, 14; and Mckenna Driver, 15.

Each one of these children has a family and friends who are heartbroken by their disappearance and who are actively looking for them, and unfortunately, they are just a few of the approximately 2,000 childrenwho are reported missing every single day in the United States—more than 100 of which are cases of stranger abduction.

The National Crime Information Center reported that as of Dec. 31, 2017, there were 88,089 active missing person records in the U.S. More than 36 percent of those cases, or 32,121, were under the age of 18, and more than 46 percent, or 41,089, were under the age of 21.

As The Free Thought Project reported last month, disturbing statistics from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children revealed that more than 27,000 children were reported missing in 2017. Nearly 25,000 of those children were labeled as “endangered runaways,” and one in seven were likely victims of child sex trafficking. Of those, 88 percent were in the care of social services when they went missing.”

The overwhelming number of missing children made headlines in March 2017 when more than 500 children were reported missing in Washington D.C. and a police commander who was asked about what children in the area should do to avoid becoming victims of child trafficking, responded, “Stay home, it’s as simple as that.”

When a child goes missing, there are a number of fears that run through a parent’s mind, and they often fear that the worst has happened to their loved ones. While individual cases such as the disappearance of Mollie Tibbetts do receive some national media attention, the overwhelming majority are swept under the rug and forgotten.

It raises the question—what kind of a difference could the media make if it started focusing less on Stormy Daniels and Russia hysteria, and more on the innocent children who go missing every day in the United States?
