(Mitchell, Neb.) - The search continues for a Mitchell girl missing for more than 24 hours.

The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Scotts Bluff County Sheriff's Office, Scotts Bluff County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and the Mitchell Police Department, along with community volunteers, continue to search for 8-year-old Kerra Wilson.

"We have a little girl who hasn't been seen since Wednesday morning," said Nebraska State Patrol Lieutenant Monica Bartling. "We are focused on finding Kerra and reuniting her with her family."

Kerra was last seen on Wednesday, Sept. 21, when she was dropped off just before 8 a.m., (MDT), in the parking lot of the Mitchell elementary school by her stepfather. School officials notified Kerra's family when she was not in class.

She was reported missing to law enforcement by family members shortly before 3 p.m. (MDT).

Eight year old Kerra M. Wilson of Sioux County was last seen in the parking lot of the elementary school around 8 a.m. Wednesday after her stepfather dropped her off. School personnel alerted her mother Amanda Lopez Wednesday afternoon she had not been seen at school and that's when Lopez and school officials became concerned and contacted law enforcement.

 ::snipping2::

Bartling says the girl, 4'2" tall and 78 [pounds, has brown, shoulder length hair with red stripes in it. The girl was wearing a sky blue short sleeve blue shirt, possibly with white numbers or letters on it. She was also wearing dark blue cotton shorts and had a blue knapsack.

FBI Joins Search For Missing Girl

Last seen Wednesday morning

The FBI has joined in the search for 8-year-old Kerra Wilson, last seen in the parking lot of her elementary school in the Nebraska panhandle town of Mitchell on Wednesday morning.

Kerra was dropped off at Mitchell Elementary School around 8 a.m. The building has security cameras. They did not show her walking into school that morning.

The search has widened to rural areas of Scotts Bluff County, both from the air and on the ground. “We are utilizing every resource available to us in our search for Kerra,” said Nebraska State Patrol Lt. Monica Bartling. “We would encourage anyone who may have seen her or has any information they believe would aid in finding Kerra to please contact authorities.”

Lt. Bartling said the girl's mother and stepfather are cooperating. Kerra has no history of running away and no major disagreements with her parents. Lt. Bartling said an Amber Alert hasn't been issued because the patrol has no information that the girl's been abducted.

Whereabouts of 8-year-old girl still a mystery

 MITCHELL — Authorities have been investigating the disappearance of eight-year-old Kerra Wilson for nearly 36 hours now. Despite the best of efforts, her whereabouts remain unknown, Lt. Monica Bartling of the Nebraska State Patrol said Thursday evening.


Searchers with the Nebraska State Patrol, Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Department, Scotts Bluff County Emergency Response, Mitchell Police Department and many others have been vigorously searching for Wilson. The girl’s grandmother reported her missing at about 3 p.m. “We have a plethora of people here,” Bartling said, saying that all resources are being exhausted. The FBI and National Centers for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) arrived in Mitchell Thursday to assist.


The girl’s stepfather has told police that he dropped off the girl at the Mitchell elementary school she has attended since kindergarten. Her stepfather is the last person reported to have seen her.


However, Bartling said during a press conference Thursday, video camera does not show Wilson entering the school. Video from surveillance cameras from businesses near the school also does not show Wilson and reports that she had gone to a nearby Subway have not been able to be confirmed.



Authorities know that Wilson did not enter the school.

Search on for missing girl

By Maunette Loeks
WORLD-HERALD NEWS SERVICE

 ::snipping2::

Kerra, daughter of Amanda Lopez, was described as 4-foot-2 and weighing 78 pounds.

She has brown, shoulder-length hair with red streaks in it. She was wearing a sky blue short-sleeved shirt, possibly with white numbers or letters.

Kerra also was believed to be wearing darker blue cotton shorts and could be carrying a blue knapsack with strings that says, “Kids Fitness and Nutrition Day.”

“She is a tiny girl,” Bartling said.

The FBI is among the agencies involved in the search. A consultant from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children of Alexandria, Va., arrived to help.

The State Patrol has used its airplane and helicopter. Local authorities used a search dog.

Officials are discouraging searches by citizens.

“I understand the frustration,” Scotts Bluff County Attorney Doug Warner said, saying that he knows efforts to put together search teams are well intentioned. “However, it is not preferred.”

The Scotts Bluff County CERT team, made up of area citizens, also is involved in the search.

Warner said, however, the CERT volunteers are trained specifically to assist in searches and understand “the history of a scene is important.''

“There is more to it than tramping through the weeds,” he said. “That is why we have people trained in searches.”

Warner said citizens wishing to help are urged to “keep their eyes open” and report anything suspicious to police. Farmers can help by checking their properties and looking for anything amiss.

A local citizen has put together a reward fund.

Cathy Livengood, a Scottsbluff resident, said she had already raised $300 for information on Kerra's disappearance.

Livengood said she has children of her own and a 3 year-old grandson.

“I just feel like I have to do something,” she said, saying that she hopes to raise at least $1,000.

“This has really hit close to home. It doesn't make sense to me that no one has seen her.”

The fund has been set up at Valley Bank and Trust.

Anyone with information on the case should call the Scotts Bluff County Communications center at 308-436-6666, the Nebraska State Patrol at 308-632-1211 or the Omaha FBI office, 402-493-8688.

NSP gives updates on Kerra Wilson

A press conference by the Nebraska State Patrol does not shed any new light on the whereabouts of a missing girl from Mitchell.

Lieutenant Monica Bartling addressed local media on the past 36 hours spent searching for 8-year-old Kerra Wilson.

The third grader has been identified as an "endangered missing juvenile".

Bartling says that Kerra's mother and step-father have been cooperative in the investigation.

The biological father has not been interviewed... but may not have *ever* known that he had a daughter.

Thanks Klaas

Nancy Grace covered the disappearance of this little girl.  In the process of elimination ... I hope the mother and stepfather submitted to and passed a polygraph.

Apparently ... there was a report that Kerra was seen sitting on a picnic table across the street from the school at a closed Subway prior to the start of the school day.  There were employees inside but they did not observe her.

Patrol: Citizen searches discouraged

Nebraska State Patrol investigator Monica Bartling says the biological father of missing Mitchell elementary student is not in her life and has not been interviewed about her disappearance.

Bartling made the statement as she conducted a press conference Thursday evening on the search for eight year old Kerra Wilson, a third grader from Sioux County who has been missing since her stepfather Salvador Lopez dropped her off for school around 8 a.m. Wednesday morning. A search for the little girl now includes federal state and local officials..

Bartling says Amanda Lopez indicated the father probably does not know he is involved with the missing girl.


Bartling says while the mother and stepfather have been "cooperative", they are still persons of interest, simply because they were the last ones they know to have seen her.

Has anyone heard why it took so long for the family to report her missing?  From what I've heard, the school contacted the family as to her not being in class and yet, the grandmother didn't call LE until 3pm.  So, who did the school contact...mom, grandmother?  The school would've called within a relatively short period of time after classes began.  Why wait until 3pm to notify LE?

I know here in Texas when school has called for grandchildren. They would call hubs and I first as daughter was working. Why if grandmother was called she didn't call daughter or LE earlier than 3 I don't know. Maybe she didn't get the message until later as she didn't hear the phone or listen to the message until later in the day. I am hoping that was the case and not that she just didn't bother to call until later.

According to what I have read about Mitchell Nebraska the population is about 1800 people and about 450 homes with 4 police officers.

Prayers they find Kerra soon.

"the Mitchell Elementary School principal said  that security cameras didn't record any picture of Kerra inside the building or on the playground."

Hmmm. We don't even know if she was even seen being let out at the school. This story unfortunately has red flags all over it. If she never made it in the school, would not the parents been notified immediately by the school that she was absent? How many school just let you let 8 year olds out to enter the school with no school reps present?

How could no one have seen her at the school? Not looking good.

The after school care at my grand daughters school has had some issues this year. One involved my grand daughter..she went home on the bus instead of staying at after care. She called me from the neighbors house because she thought that I was getting her off the bus. the neighbor said that she could stay with him and his family until her parents got home..he is a police officer and we know him..so that was good..meanwhile, communication problem with my son and his wife. He did not tell her that grand was at neighbors house. Mom went to pick up grand at after care, she was not there! panic set in of course..She calls me and I explain. Son had told me that he would let mom know, he got busy and did not call her after knowing daughter was safe at neighbors. After care did not call ANY of us to let us know that she was not there...meanwhile over 2 hrs had gone by from the time grand should have been in after care until pick up..Another time, 2 kids wandered off from a after school field trip and were found 3 hrs later at a local pizza place..police were called..
needless to say, grand only goes to after care when one of us can not get her off the bus. but just to show how kids do slip through the cracks and go missing..scary shite!

I forget where I heard or read this but someone said one of the reasons there is a large population of sex offenders in Florida is because the children wear shorts and swim suits more often than in colder climates.... whether that is true or not, it is something to think about...just like who in the world is out at  8:15 am around a school....a possible offender.    Scarey as can be.

In short, the very times and places a child should be safest and at ease, are the places the offenders gravitate towards.   Sometimes I just want to take my chidlren and my grandchildren and hide in a bubble.

How many school just let you let 8 year olds out to enter the school with no school reps present?

How could no one have seen her at the school? Not looking good.

Nebraska 3rd Grader Disappears at School Door
Aired September 22, 2011 - 20:00:00   ET


ELLIE JOSTAD, NANCY GRACE CHIEF EDITORIAL PRODUCER: Right, Nancy. Well, apparently the school thought this was a typical absent child. You know I suppose they`re imagining she`s sick. She can`t come to school today. So they marked her absent but they were waiting from a call -- for a call from the parents saying she is sick today, won`t be in school.

When they hadn`t heard from her mother by noon, they called her, parents got to the school, parents were both at work that day, we`re told. Parents got to the school, met with the principal, and that is when police got involved. By the time all that happened -- it was 2:00, almost 3:00 by the time police knew she was missing.

<snipped>

JOSTAD: Right. Well, state police, or state patrol, rather, is telling us that they are confident she was dropped off by family. But they are also confident that she never made it inside the school.

The school principal tells us that they do have cameras that are trained inside and outside the school. They do not see her on the school property. They do not see her in the area where she would typically enter the school.

<snipped>

KEVIN MOONEY, KNEB RADIO (via telephone): Well, thank you very much, Nancy. And right now, the search is still continuing for 8-year-old Kerra Wilson, who, as you mentioned, got dropped off, the latest we have is in the actual parking lot of the Mitchell elementary school, according to the Nebraska state patrol. And since then, really no sign of her. She did -- according to the school officials, there were witnesses that said she did go across the street for a time at a picnic -- sat at a picnic table at the Subway shop across the street, and then left from there, was heading back to school, back to the parking lot. And that`s the last time anybody has ever seen her.

8-year-old western Nebraska girl still missing
Updated 06:44 a.m., Friday, September 23, 2011


MITCHELL, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say an 8-year-old western Nebraska girl who has been missing since Wednesday morning still hasn't been found.

Kerra Wilson was last seen a little before 8 a.m. as her stepfather dropped her off at Mitchell Elementary School in the Panhandle city of Mitchell.

A woman who answered the phone at the Nebraska State Patrol Scottsbluff office early Friday morning said Kerra has not been found and that the search is continuing. The woman says a briefing scheduled for 9 a.m.

<snipped>

Mitchell Elementary School principal Kirk Kuxhausen said Thursday that security cameras didn't record any picture of Kerra inside the building or on the playground.

I now unschool my son...but last year he attended school for about four months.   I am guilty of not phoning in when he was to be absent.   I just figured I would call when I had the time.

I now see that was selfish and short sighted.   No wonder the schools do not think it an emergency or out of the norm for a child to be absent.   Pre K we had to sign them in and the teacher had to see our faces and aknowledge us.

Girl's body found; stepfather arrested
Friday, September 23, 2011


Nebraska State Patrol release

SCOTTSBLUFF, Nebraska -- The search for 8-year-old Kerra Wilson has ended with the discovery of her body in a remote area of Sioux County.
In the early evening hours of Thursday, Sept. 22, investigators from the Nebraska State Patrol and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were notified by a local rancher alerting them to an area that he felt needed to be examined. The area was located several miles north of Mitchell. Upon their arrival investigators located what is believed to be the body of 8-year-old Kerra Wilson.

Preliminary identification of the body was made through articles of clothing, physical characteristics and evidence found at the scene. Due to the rugged terrain and time of night investigators were unable to move the body and process the scene.

Based on the discovery of Kerra's body and the evidence at the scene, Salvador Carlos Lopez, 32, Mitchell was arrested in the death of Kerra Wilson. At this time Lopez is being held in the Scotts Bluff County Detention Center on a charge of 1st Degree Murder.

"We were hoping to bring Kerra safely home to her family; sadly we weren't able to do that," said Lt. Monica Bartling of the Nebraska State Patrol. "We will continue gathering evidence in this case and work with the Sioux County Attorney to prosecute Salvador Lopez to the fullest extent of the law."

Kerra Wilson was reported missing by her family just before 3:00 p.m., (MDT) on Wednesday, Sept. 21. Initial reports were that Kerra had been last seen in the parking lot of the Mitchell Elementary School after being dropped off by her stepfather Salvador Lopez. It was determined through subsequent interviews with school staff and classmates that Kerra could not be placed anywhere on school grounds.

Lt. Bartling said, "The cooperation of the staff of Mitchell Elementary was key in determining that Kerra never made it to school on Wednesday. This has been a very difficult time for everyone involved and I want to thank the school staff, community volunteers and local law enforcement for their efforts and cooperation during this very difficult time. "

The recovery of Kerra's body and investigation into her death continues.

I am fortunate that I like being single and cannot imagine anyone living with us.  I will never say never, but I cannot see myself having anyone in our lives.

I have to say the second I saw this case I pretty much determined that the stepfather did it. None of the details of the case made any sense. When one of sees or there is video surveillance of a child entering a building, one must question the original story. It was obvious what had been done.

Rest in peace little Kerra, no one will hurt you anymore. You will be surrounded by eternal peace and love.

I'm going to go with 50/50 of us do.  I was molested by my father and reported him for molesting foster children.  He was also molesting my niece.  My sister closed her eyes to it.  Me.  Reported his evil behind to authorities  I haven't spoken to my family for going on twenty years.  I know have a precious angel myself and let me say I don't care WHO they are.  I would cut their uh hum you know what's off & flush it down the toilet with one hand while phoning the police with the other.  You simply cannot forgive the unforgivable.  These "women" make me sick.  I'd like to shake them awake.

Am not surprised that it turned out to be the stepfather.  That's the first thing I thought when Kerra's story was first reported on our local news.  Story didn't make sense, as many of you have pointed out.  Am getting more and more angry as time goes on, this seems to be becoming an epidemic against women and children.  Folks need to open their eyes to the dangers that surround them, not just in the nearest large city, or down the road, but living right in their own homes.

Stepdad charged with killing 8-year-old Neb. girl
September 24, 2011

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — Prosecutors charged a Nebraska man Friday with killing his 8-year-old stepdaughter a day after her body was found in a remote area several miles north of their home.

Salvador Carlos Lopez, 32, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Kerra Wilson, according to court documents. Investigators found Kerra's body Thursday evening in a rugged area of Sioux County — miles away from the family's home — after a rancher reported seeing something suspicious.

A Nebraska State Patrol investigator said in court documents that Lopez acknowledged killing his stepdaughter after Kerra's body was found
.
 ::snipping2::
Authorities said Friday that the last time the brown-haired, blue-eyed girl from Mitchell was seen by anyone other than her stepfather was Tuesday evening, when Kerra was with her grandparents.

Mitchell Elementary School principal Kirk Kuxhausen said Kerra did not appear in any of the security camera footage shot in the school or on the playground on Wednesday.

Investigators weren't initially able to find the body because the surrounding terrain was so rugged. Investigators were still trying to determine when and where the girl was killed, Nebraska State Patrol Lt. Monica Bartling said.
 ::snipping2::
A judge ordered Lopez to be held without bond at least until his initial court appearance Monday morning. He has been held in the Scotts Bluff county jail since Thursday. Bartling said Lopez does not have an extensive criminal record.

"The affidavit does not indicate what the mother’s response was when she was notified her daughter was not in school. It says only that she told officers she went to work around 11 a.m."

Judge denies bail for stepdad

Quote
Lopez told the judge he understood that he could face the death penalty. Harford also repeatedly asked and had Lopez state that he understood that he had a right to an attorney and a right to a preliminary hearing. Lopez said he did not want an attorney and waived a preliminary hearing.
 

hmmm...Kerra was with her grandparents on Wednesday before being picked up by stepdad.  Then Grandmother was the one to actually call LE and report her as missing.  I'm wondering if stepdad had a problem with the grands?  Maybe thought Kerra might tell them something?

I don't believe the step-dad!! He's covering for someone - probably the mother - no one in their right mind admits they intentionally killed someone, they want no lawyer - just give me the punishment (which he admits could be the death penalty) unless he has a very, very strong reason to not have it go to trial (doesn't want 'something or someone' found out) - just saying....
