Ali Gilmore has been missing for 7 years, 199 days, 15 hrs, 11 mins, 54 secs



Ali Gilmore of 231 Lorraine Ct in Tallahassee, FL is missing under suspicious circumstances. Ali Gilmore was also 4 months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Ali Gilmore please contact the Big Bend Crime Stoppers at (850) 891-HELP or (866) 979-0922

Ali Gilmore was born on January 5, 1976, and was 30 years old at the time of her disappearance form her home in Wilson Green in Tallahassee, Florida. She is a black female, 5 feet 6 inches, has brown hair, brown eyes, medium complexion and weighs approximately 180 lbs.

Identifying characteristics: Pierced ears, tattoo of the name "Ali" on right side of her chest, birthmark on abdomen. Ali Gilmore was four months pregnant at the time of her disappearance!


As I write this post the timer counting how long Ali has been missing still grows. Second by second it continues to show she is still not home with her family and friends. Do you know Ali's story? Have you heard of her at all. It's been 7 years since anyone last saw or heard from Ali. She was 4 months pregnant with her first child when she vanished without a trace.

With the recent discoveries of Jaycee Dugard, Gina DeJesus, Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight,  who all were missing for 10 years or more, the hopes and hearts of the families of missing persons were again filled. They feel if the others were found after so long that their loved one may also be found.

Now is the time for all out campaigns focusing on the missing in each state and county. Show their faces and stories and remind the public they are still gone. Get the age progressed photos in the paper, on the news or on billboards. Think back if you heard or over heard a story in a bar or at a gathering about one of the missing. You may be the one who finally breaks a case wide open and helps LE bring someone home. Someone knows the truth but for some odd reason they keep their silence. You hold the answers, you can solve a mystery. And in this day and age you can be anonymous or protected by Law Enforcement. So why aren't more people speaking up? Why aren't missing people home?

The families have a right to know. If someone knew where your loved one was or what happened to them wouldn't you want them to speak up? Wouldn't you expect them to do the right thing?

Sadly the missing adults get little to no press coverage. People like Ali Gilmore are all but forgotten. The only people who remember them are either their family or owners of missing persons sites like ours.

This needs to change and now. Priceless seconds are ticking by and bringing us no closer to our missing loved ones.


Stop, think, remember. You could bring someone home and make their Missing poster or site vanish for good.

For more information please visit our site or Where is Ali Gilmore's site. I'm going to try and focus a person a week. If there is someone you want posted please leave a comment or shoot us an email at fromwhisperstoroars@yahoo.com .

Help Ali's family know where she is or what happened to her. They have the right to know before anymore precious seconds tick by.

Vigil set for Amber Dubois. Saturday June 13, 2009 CA.


Vigil is set for missing girl, 14
Search continues for Amber Dubois
By J. Harry Jones 2:00 a.m. June 12, 2009


DETAILS


Candlelight vigil for Amber Dubois


When: 1 to 4 p.m. tomorrow June 13, 2009

Where: 755 N. Quince St., Escondido

What: Candlelight vigil, culminating with release of balloons at 4 p.m.


ESCONDIDO — It will be four months tomorrow since 14-year-old Amber Dubois went missing while walking to school in Escondido, and a search center established shortly after she disappeared is closing down.

Every weekend volunteers have been scouring nearby hills for any sign of the teen, without success. The number of volunteers has dwindled to a point that only about 20 people have been showing up to help.

Amber's mother, Carrie McGonigle, said that the center will close this weekend and that future search efforts will concentrate on distributing fliers in Riverside and Orange counties. “Most people know about Amber in San Diego,” she said.

“But nobody knows about her further north.” The search center, at 755 N. Quince St. in Escondido, will be the site of a candlelight vigil from 1 to 4 p.m. tomorrow, culminating in the release of balloons at 4 p.m. McGonigle said she still harbors hope.

“I still feel she's alive and I still feel she's nearby,” she said.

“We just have to find where.” Police say they have followed up on about 900 tips, including false sightings of the teen, without anything concrete being found.

An examination of Amber's Internet activity so far has shown only that she visited sites that any normal 14-year-old girl would, Escondido Police Lt. Bob Benton said. Some records still have not been obtained because the Web site operators are based outside the United States. The FBI has been helping with the Internet side of the investigation.

Amber's cell phone has not been used since the day after she disappeared, when someone in northern Escondido tried to access her voice mail for about 20 seconds but gave up after realizing the password had been changed. Her parents had it changed when she didn't come home so they could listen to any messages that might have been left for her.

It now appears that a burgundy pickup truck seen on surveillance videotape of a school bus maintenance yard near Escondido High School about the same time that Amber disappeared is not the same pickup spotted in another case. San Diego police are searching for a similar pickup in connection with the molestation of two young girls at two Wal-Mart stores in April and May.

But Benton said the trucks appear to be different.

Police still classify Amber as a missing juvenile, saying there isn't enough information to say definitively whether she was abducted or ran away.

Nationally known missing children's advocate Marc Klaas will attend the vigil, McGonigle said. Anyone with information about Amber's whereabouts is asked to call (760) 743-TIPS (8477).

Amber's family has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to her return, and a $10,000 reward for information leading to arrests. J. Harry Jones: (760) 737-7579; jharry.jones@uniontrib.com

Another Birthday Passes for Missing Brandy Hanna




Another sad birthday


By Brian Hicks (Contact) The Post and Courier


Sunday, November 16, 2008




Today is Brandy Hanna's birthday.




There won't be a party, or a fancy dinner, no one to joke about calling the fire department to put out the 36 candles on her cake. No, this day will pass like the past 1,270 — with her mother, Donna Parent, waiting for the phone to ring.




You see, Brandy is missing.




A lot of people already know the story. On Friday, May 20, 2005, Brandy worked her shift at Alex's Restaurant on Dorchester Road, got a ride to her apartment and, later that evening, talked to her mother on the phone. She had big plans for the weekend — shopping Friday night, the beach Saturday, breakfast with her mother and brother Sunday.




None of that ever happened.




That night, Brandy walked out of her apartment, leaving her money, her clothes, her entire life, behind. No one has seen her since. For the last three-and-a-half years, there have been candlelight vigils for Brandy on every birthday, every anniversary of her disappearance. They are sad affairs of prayer, tears, candles and balloon releases.




But they serve a purpose: they ensure no one forgets Brandy.




This year, her mother instead chose to drive to Conway for another family's vigil.




Six years ago, Alice Donovan was abducted from a Wal-Mart parking lot and killed. Her killers, one of whom is on death row, either can't or won't tell where they left her. Donna thought it was important to honor Brandy by supporting Alice's family.




"I feel like it is the right thing to do," she said Friday. "I know what that family is going through."




Since Brandy's disappearance, Donna has become active in missing person advocacy. She does it for the right reason, to help.




When the newspaper dispatches a photographer for a new picture of her, she asks that we just run a photo of her daughter instead.




She wants no publicity, no fame, no attention. She just wants Brandy back or to at least know what happened.




Not knowing is perhaps the hardest part. Donna wakes up every morning and goes to sleep every night thinking about Brandy. She has had to go through something no parent ever should — she has seen her daughter become a face on a billboard, a story on missing persons Web sites.






She endures it as part of her fight to make sure that no one forgets. This is something you wouldn't wish on anyone, especially not a kind-hearted, generous soul like Donna.




It's a miracle she holds up as well as she does, and has even gotten strong enough to allow the occasional joke to slip out — she laughs that the idea of Brandy being 36 makes her feel old.






Donna has added two new grandchildren to the family in the last couple of years, and they provide her a lot of joy. But even playing with them reminds her how much Brandy would enjoy her new nephew. This is never far from her mind.




Every time another body is found, every time the phone rings, she feels a cold chill. That has become her life.




A few months ago, police thought they had found her in Calhoun County. It wasn't Brandy, just another false alarm, but it brought on another period of unbearable waiting for Donna.




Today will be no different, vigil or not, birthday party or not.




But by now Donna knows that there are people out there who will not forget, who will not give up until she has found her daughter.




Since it's her birthday, maybe some of them will even light a candle for Brandy.
