MP of the week: George Greenshields

This week’s featured missing person is George Hubbard Greenshields II, last seen in Tampa, Florida on October 31, 1989, when he was thirty. He went to a Halloween festival that day dressed as the Joker, and apparently made it home after since his costume was later found there. The guy left all his possessions including his car and jewelry behind which isn’t a good sign.

That was nearly thirty-five years ago. Today, if still alive, George Greenshields would be 64. He’s white, 6’1, weighed 175 pounds when he disappeared, and has brown hair and eyes.

I hope you are all doing well. I haven’t been very well. I had another episode of cyclic vomiting syndrome and was throwing up for four days despite going to the hospital for it. I am finally doing better today but am very weak.

Kimberly Langwell probably found, murder charges brought against her ex-boyfriend

So I knew that the police had recently been doing some searching in the case of Kimberly Langwell, who disappeared from Beaumont, Texas in 1999. I didn’t pay too much attention because the police are always executing search warrants in missing persons cases and a lot of times the searches turn up nothing, or if anything is found it isn’t made public.

It looks like they’ve found Kimberly, though: they found human remains in a search of her ex-boyfriend Terry Rose’s house and he has been arrested for murder. Bond is set at a million dollars so I expect he will stay in jail until trial.

Rose has been a suspect from early on: he was the last person known to have seen Kimberly, and he was “obsessed” with her and had threatened her before.

Now we just wait until the remains are formally identified.

MP of the week: Gina Garcia

This week’s featured missing person is Gina Renee Garcia, a 32-year-old woman who was last seen in Stockton, California on July 11, 1996. Her mom reported her missing on the 25th and that’s all the info there is.

Gina has a history of drug abuse, which isn’t a good sign. Her maiden name is Galindo. She’s 5’5, 130 pounds, and Hispanic, with brown hair, brown eyes, and a tattoo of the name “Krystal” on her breast.

If still alive, she’d be 60 today.

Woman claiming to be missing child is not, in fact, a missing child. They almost never are.

As I had figured would happen, the woman who has lately been claiming she was Cherrie Mahan, is not Cherrie Mahan. They have Cherrie’s fingerprints and a comparison with the woman’s fingerprints ruled out a match.

It was fairly obvious to me from the beginning that this wasn’t Cherrie, because instead of going to the police or to the NCMEC or to Cherrie’s family, this woman was just posting on social media claiming to be her. What’s the point of that, other than to get attention?

I don’t know if this is a disturbed person who really believes what she’s saying, or an attention-seeking hoaxer, or what. But I’ve seen a lot of people like her over the years.

Several years ago a woman was claiming to be Jennifer Klein online, and also that her kidnappers had also taken Kurt Newton and Etan Patz, three children who disappeared years apart and hundreds of miles away from each other. Within like five minutes this woman was claiming the FBI had done a DNA test and it came back “100%” that she was Jennifer. It was amazing how many people swallowed her BS. Official law enforcement DNA comparisons take longer than she claimed, and NEVER come back saying 100% match; they’ll say “99.99999%” or whatever but never 100%.

After “Jennifer Klein” was exposed as a hoaxer (who even used other people’s photographs claiming they were of her, to support her story that she was Jennifer), some of the people who had believed her story were outraged… at the people explaining this was a hoax. They were acting like little kids who were suddenly told that Christmas had been canceled and they would not be going to Disneyland after all. Some of them were so invested in the story that Jennifer and the other boys were alive and well, that they even suggested it must be law enforcement that was lying and not the actual hoaxer. *facepalm* It was similar to the reaction I saw in the Gabby Pettito case when they found her killer’s remains.
