Jeramy Burt (written by Peace4 Admin, Ange)

As I sit here this late sunday evening starring at my blank computer screen,I am wondering how to write this piece..There is not alot of information to report and so little to go on..

Jeramy Burt is a son, brother and father who is deeply sadly missed. On Febuary 11th 2007 Jeramy left his home in Boise Idaho at ten thirty in the morning to go visit a friend..He never made it to his destination. Shortly after he went missing his ex-wife recieved a text stating that Jeramy was leaving and starting a new life else where..The question then and still is, Would a loving, caring father just up and abandon his three year old daughter? I would not think so..His family says that he would never leave behind his daughter..He loved her with every fiber of his soul..Months later the car he was driving which belonged to his ex-wife was found burnt in a remote desert..After sifting through the vehichle it is obviouse that someone was trying to destroy evidence of some sort..What actually happened in that car? Or for that matter who else was in that car? Who wanted so badly to hide something? And who was so desperate to hide or destroy Jeramy Burt?

I can't even imagine what the family of Jeramy Burt have and are going through..To have your loved one torn from you and vanish without a trace..Not knowing if he is alive or not..

National Runaway Switchboard
What is National Runaway Prevention Month



November is National Runaway Prevention Month. It is a public education campaign spearheaded by the National Runaway Switchboard (NRS) and the National Network for Youth (NNY) to:

* Increase the awareness of the issues facing runaways, and
* Educate the public about the solutions and the role they can play in preventing youth from running away

National efforts put a voice to this national problem. In October 2002, President Bush hosted the landmark White House Conference on Exploited and Runaway Children. Leaders from across the country convened to discuss challenges related to runaway youth that our nation must face today. The responsibility to protect America's young people is shared by all members of our society, by government at every level, and by parents in every home.

In the 109th Congress, members have taken steps to commemorate Prevention Month. Representative Jon Porter (R-NV) introduced House Resolution 484 on October 6, 2005, with six co-sponsors; including Judy Biggert (R-IL) and Rubén Hinojosa (D-TX) to support goals and ideals of National Runaway Prevention Month. Congressman Hinojosa presented his most recent endorsement on the floor of the House on October 25th.

Also, in October 2005, England's Children's Society invited NRS to speak with members of the British Parliament. Spurred by the priority the United States has placed on the needs of runaway and homeless youth, the Children's Society is calling on the British Government to set up a national network of shelters for runaway children – similar to the hotline and referral model used by NRS in the US.

When a youth runs away, the impact is felt throughout the entire community. All of us – individuals, businesses, community groups, teachers, elected officials, and human service agencies – are encouraged to participate in National Runaway Prevention Month. Working together to identify resources and to help youth develop life skills can make the difference between a youth running away, or a youth finding needed resources.

Visit the How to Support National Runaway Prevention Month section to learn how you can participate and observe National Runaway Prevention Month in your school, business, and community.





This November, showing your support for

runaway youth is as easy as flipping a switch! Porch lights across the country will glow green during November to raise awareness and show support for runaway youth.

You can become a part of the Green Light Project by distributing Green Lights in your community. The National Runaway Switchboard has created light bulb labels and posters which are customizable for your organization.



How to start a Green Light Project in your community:

1. Purchase green light bulbs - these are available at most local hardware stores. If you're interested in distributing in bulk - over 120 bulbs - click here.

2. Label the Bulbs - There are general and customizable light bulb labels available to download. You need to purchase 2"x4" labels (for example, Avery 5163 / 8163 Template). You can print the labels on your color printer or have them printed at a copying shop.

3. Distribute the bulbs - There are general and customizable posters available for you to distribute with your light bulbs. You can partner with local businesses to distribute, advertise, and display green light bulbs for greater impact.

4. Tell NRS about your Project - We want to hear about your Green Light Project! Email the Outreach Coordinator to share your green light goals, successes, set-backs, and results.

Viridiana Maldonado was a young mother. She had her first child at age 15 or 16. She married and had another child four years later. Her husband, Jorge, was in the Army stationed at Ft. Lewis near Tacoma, WA.


According to news accounts they had trouble in their marriage which led "Viri" to take out an Order of Protection against Jorge. Apparently she had had enough and moved back to her family in North Charleston, SC with her 2 children, leaving Jorge in WA.

She lived with her mother and sister in an apartment on Dunbar Ave., along with her children. She held a postition with a local restaurant, La Nortena, and her boss was a friend of the family. From all accounts she was making a go of it with the support of her family.

On the evening of Oct. 11, 2007 she came home, changed her clothes and said she was going out with her sister in law, Vicky Roberts, for the evening. Nothing unusual was said to her family, nothing unusual about her demeanor that night. Just a night out with friends.

Her family reports that approximately 2am they received text messages from her cell phone. This was odd, because Viridiana did not usually text message them. One said she was in downtown Charleston, drinking with a man named Miguel. The next message said she was on her way home to Mexico. That was the last activity on her cell phone....ever.

Six days later her bank account, with a balance of about $1000, was closed by telephone and a cashiers check was sent to Tacoma, WA. It has not been reported who made that phone call, who closed that account, and who received the money.

There are a slew of strange circumstances surrounding this disappearance.

Vicky Roberts, her sister in law, says she was not with her and had not seen her for 2 weeks prior to Oct. 11.

Viridiana's estranged husband, Jorge, left the Army, moved back to North Charleston and claimed his child. He is reported to have been cooperative with police in the investigation.

Who is Miguel? Her family states they never heard Viri speak about any man named Miguel. Did she just meet him somewhere that night, or did she know him beforehand?

What is happening in this case now? Are these questions being answered for her mother and family? Apparently, they don't think enough is being put into the investigation and it looks like a lot of clues are getting cold as time goes by.

We have 2 small children who don't know what happened to their Mommy, a young, beautiful woman who was loved and cared for by her family in her times of trouble. Viridiana, just as so many others, is being forgotten. The longer we let these questions go unanswered, the colder the trail gets, and it happens all too often.

Another missing Mother vanishes in the night. Where do they go?

Bruce Falconer, Missing Since 1981
Monday4 the Missing would like to welcome you to our first venture in this project. We have chosen to honor Bruce Falconer. We hope that as time goes by, many bloggers will join us in featuring a missing person entry on your sites each Monday.

Bruce Falconer was a Marine from the time he was 16 years old, joining with his mother's approval. In 1981 he had just been promoted to sergeant and was home on leave in Bismark, South Dakota before leaving for Yuma, Arizona, catching up with old friends, including Tim Jewell.


The two of them went out the night of February 20, and hit a few bars, later going to a spot along the Missouri River known as the "Desert" in Bruce's Blazer. The evening did not turn out as Bruce and Tim had planned. What happened still remains a mystery which investigators have worked on for a long 27 years.

Bruce's mother, Dorothy, has said that after a long time with no results of searches, she made up her mind to not become a bitter, grieving woman for the sake of her remaining family. The Marines had Bruce declared dead five years after his disappearance.

In December, 1992 a hunter found skeletal remains in the "Desert" and investigators felt sure they were either Bruce Falconer or Tim Jewell. After dental records were checked it was determined that they were, in fact, the remains of Tim Jewell, and medical examiners determined that Tim had died of exposure.

Although much time had passed, Dorothy sobbed at Tim Jewell's funeral, still not able to rest in her own heart knowing that her son, Bruce, has still not been found. Investigators state that all possibilities are still being checked to this day, it is still an open investigation, and that they will not give up.

This must give Dorothy at least a small bit of comfort to know that there are those who will not forget her son, Bruce Falconer.
