Alaska family of 4 missing more than a week, relatives say
Published June 09, 2014


KENAI, Alaska –  Authorities say a Kenai family of four with two children has been missing for more than a week, and there aren't indications of where they have gone.

The Peninsula Clarion reports that 37-year-old Brandon Jividen, his girlfriend 22-year-old Rebecca Adams and Adams' two daughters were last seen a week ago.

Relatives of Adams say the family left behind both of their cars, all of their camping and outdoor gear and the car seats for Adams' daughters. The family's dog is also missing.

Adams' sister, Lanell Adams, says she got a distressing call from her around Memorial Day weekend, but would not say what was troubling her.

Relatives say Jividen and Adams' cell phones are turned off.

Adams' daughters are 5 and 2 years old.

Alaska Family Vanishes Amid Mom’s Strange Behavior
June 9, 2014


A massive search for a family of four in Alaska is focusing on nearby woods and the behavior of one of the missing, a mother of two young children.

Brandon Jividen, 37, Rebecca Adams, 22, and Adams’ children, Michelle Hundley, 5, and Jaracca Hundley, 3, have been missing since May 27, 2014, according to a Facebook group Seeking Alaska’s Missing.

The Kenai Police Department, the FBI and other state organizations are launching a “large” search effort.

“The FBI is assisting in all sections. We have dog teams and helicopter teams assisting as well,” said Lt. David Cook. “The FBI has made a lot of resources available and we are pouring all our resources into the search. This is our top priority.”

Cook said Kenai PD received a call on May 31 from one of the family’s neighbors about a backyard shed door that was ajar. Five days later, police received another call from the same neighbor who told investigators that the family hadn’t been home in days.

“At this point it’s not apparent where they have gone or where they might be,” Cook said. “The investigation does not show that is foul play at this point, but we are very deep into the investigation of the missing persons.”

Although Cook would not go into detail about specifics of the investigation, he said the primary search area is a wooded area near the family’s home. The family car is still in the driveway, he noted.

Cook also said Adams’ family told investigators that Rebecca Adams had been acting strangely in the days leading up to their disappearance.

“The family has expressed some concern with the behavior of their sister Rebecca and have some concerns within her relationship [to Brandon],” said Cook.

FBI agents join search for missing Alaska family
Alaska Mon Jun 9, 2014 7:21pm EDT


<snipped>

Investigators have not ruled out foul play in the case of Brandon Jividen, 37, his girlfriend, Rebecca Adams, 22, and her two daughters, aged 5 and 3, who went missing May 27 in Kenai, a coastal community 65 miles southwest of Anchorage.

The Kenai Police Department reached out to the FBI over the weekend and a team of agents is now helping look for the family.

"Because of their request and because of the age of the children missing, it’s being viewed as a mysterious disappearance," said FBI Supervisory Special Agent Steven Forrest.

Lieutenant David Ross of the Kenai Police Department said the family uncharacteristically left behind their automobiles, the children’s cars seats and their camping gear. The family’s dog was also missing, he said.

"They don’t normally not pay rent and they don’t normally leave without their cars," Ross said. "We are not ruling out anything ... We are investigating all avenues. We don’t have any absolutes to say that it is or that it’s not foul play."

Alaska State troopers are helping with aerial searches, the lieutenant added, while other agencies have brought dog rescue teams to Kenai, which is home to about 7,300 people.

Unofficial missing posters distributed by the Facebook group Seeking Alaska’s Missing say the family has not been seen since May 27, with two automobiles -- Adams’ truck and Jividen’s vehicle -- and personal belongings still at their apartment.

“No one has seen them, and it is out of character for (Adams) to be out of contact,” a poster for the children reads.

FBI aiding in search for missing Alaska family


ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Multiple agencies including the FBI have joined Alaska's Kenai Police Department in the search for a family missing for almost two weeks.

KTUU-TV reports 37-year-old Brandon Jividen, 22-year-old Rebecca Adams, and Adams' two daughters, 5-year old Michelle Hundley and 3-year old Jaracca Hundley, were last seen May 27.

Adams' sister Lanell Adams says the family's two vehicles remained at the apartment and the family apparently left without packing.

Kenai Police Chief Gus Sandahl says the department is following up on all logical and investigative leads and using resources of the department and the FBI to find the family.

He says the investigation is the department's highest priority.

Search and rescue teams have combed a wooded area near the family's apartment.

Relatives have put up fliers asking for the public's help.

By Jackie Taurianen

The FBI has announced they will join the Kenai Police Department in their investigation into the mysterious disappearance of a family of four from Alaska.

Brandon Gividen, 37, his girlfriend 22-year-old Rebecca Adams and her two young daughters seemingly vanished without a trace. The family was last seen on May 27. Cops say two family vehicles as well as most of the families personal belongings are still in the home.

A reporter for the Alaska Dispatch tells us cops have a heightened concerned regarding their missing status but don't have enough information at this time to say foul play is involved.

Air, ground search for Alaska family of 4 expands
Jun 11, 2014 1:41 PM PDT


KENAI, Alaska (AP) - The search for a missing Alaska family of four has expanded to a densely wooded forest near a jail close to the family's home, but officials said there has been no information to lead them to look in any specific location.

Crews are using a helicopter and all-terrain vehicles to search for Rebecca Adams, 22; her daughters, Michelle Hundley, 5, and Jarraca Hundley, 3; and Adams' boyfriend, Brandon Jividen, 37.

Investigators also asked the public for information on the family missing for two weeks from their home in Kenai, about 65 miles southwest of Anchorage.

"Don't assume information isn't worthwhile; we want to hear anything that may help," Police Chief Gus Sandahl said.

Adams last had contact with relatives May 27, the day after Memorial Day. The latest physical evidence of a sighting for Adams, Sandahl said, was an appearance with her children on a video surveillance recording May 18 at a Kenai business.

Police began investigating last weekend, and the FBI joined in the search.

The family lives in a four-plex near the Wildwood Correction Facility, but they failed to pay rent this month. Residents tell the Peninsula Clarion the neighborhood is quiet but has a transitory nature.

"We don't know everybody in our building, much less buildings down the street," said Amy Murrell-Haunold, who lives on the same street as the missing family.

Jeff Pfile and Anna Haave manage the building where the family has lived for two years. They said it was unusual for the Adams and Jividen to be late with a rent payment.

"If I felt they were going out of town I would have been the first person they called because they are so responsible (for paying their rent on time)," Haave said. "For them to not say anything is not normal."

Police say vehicles belonging to Jividen and Adams remain parked at the four-plex, and their cellphones have been turned off. The family's brown and white English springer spaniel named Sparks also is missing.

The father of her two girls, Jaramiah Hundley, died in a motorcycle crash in May 2012.

Besides local police and the FBI, fire officials, canine units and wilderness search groups from across Alaska have been brought to Kenai to help search.

Alaska State Troopers provided a helicopter to help search from the air, and police have used all-terrain vehicles on trails in woods near the home. The search area has expanded to areas north of the correctional facility.

Police say they receive new information about the missing family every day, but nothing that would lead to finding them or even a specific location to search.

"We remain optimistic we will be able to reunite them with their family," Sandahl said. "We want nothing more at this point and hope they are safe."

Family members have put up fliers of the missing family members in popular fishing areas the family frequented on the Kenai Peninsula, and police statewide have been alerted, Sandahl said.

By DAN BALMER

News of a family of four missing from their north Kenai residence for nearly two weeks has been unsettling for residents who described the neighborhood as quiet with transient people who don’t live in the area long.
 ::snipping3::
While authorities have received new information every day during their investigation into the family’s disappearance, Kenai Police Chief Gus Sandahl said there has been no big break that would lead investigators to search in a specific location.

Sandahl said the last physical evidence of a sighting for Rebecca Adams, 22, and her two daughters Michelle Hundley, 5, and Jaracca Hundley, 3, came from video surveillance at a Kenai business on May 18. Adams’ family has disclosed to police phone conversations with Adams around Memorial Day weekend.
 ::snipping3::
The family lived upstairs in a four-plex on California Avenue off of Wildwood Drive in North Kenai for almost two years, said property managers Jeff Pfile and Anna Haave. The two said they first became concerned when the rent went unpaid and they did not hear from the family after the five-day grace period.

Detained Mother-in-Law will be Questioned About Missing Kenai Family
Jun 13, 2014


In an unexpected turn of events, a woman living in Tennessee taken into custody by U.S. Marshalls for violating probation is also being questioned in the disappearance of a missing Kenai family.

Lisa Marie Hundley, 46, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Smyrna, TN, on contempt of court charges connected with a 2010 drug possession and trafficking conviction, according to U.S. Marshals officials, with the assistance of one Alaska State Trooper.

Troopers then discovered Hundley was the mother-in-law to Rebecca Adams, the mother of five-year-old Michelle and three-year-old Jaracca Hundley. Adams, her two children and her boyfriend Brandon Jividen, 37, went missing May 27, sparking a nationwide search, assisted by local and federal organizations.

FBI spokesperson Steve Forrest explained Hundley is not being considered connected to the disappearance of the missing Kenai family, but Kenai Police Department investigators simply hope to gain more perspective on the family itself.

Hundley will be extradited from a Rutherford County Jail in Tennessee back to Alaska, said Deputy U.S. Marshal Danny Shelton of the Middle District of Tennessee.

The disappearance of Adams, her children and Jividen has sparked a multi-jurisdictional search for the family to assist KPD investigators. Organizations including state troopers and the FBI have provided assistance to KPD, the primary agency heading up the search.

Family members last heard from Adams May 27, when she made a phone call to her sister Lanell Adams, in which the missing mother sounded “distressed.”

Both Adams and Jividen’s vehicles remain parked behind their home, but police could not confirm how long it had been since they had last been moved.

Authorities reduce search efforts for missing Kenai family

June 18, 2014


Kenai police continue to send out updates on their search for a missing Kenai family of four. On Wednesday, they released additional photos of the family and offered a single new detail about how the one of the missing family members spent his free time.

The Kenai Police Department reported there were no coordinated ground searches scheduled for Wednesday but investigators “continue to work diligently on this highest priority investigation” and will continue to work with Anchorage-based FBI officials.

So far, the numerous resources used in the search have included an Outside canine scent detection team, plus additional ground and aerial personnel. The canine team has ended its efforts after several days of searching, the police department reported.

Missing Alaska Family Stumps Police, FBI
Posted Jun 20, 2014


After three weeks of searching, investigators are still clueless as to what happened to an Alaska family last seen in late May. A canine scent detection team, along with additional aerial and ground crew, has scoured the area—their town of Kenai is 65 miles southwest of Anchorage with a population of 7,100—for any sign of 22-year-old Rebecca Adams; her daughters, 5-year-old Michelle Hundley and 3-year-old Jaracca Hundley; her boyfriend, 37-year-old Brandon Jividen; and their dog. The trail is so cold that authorities have called off the dogs and reduced the ground search, reports the Alaska Dispatch.

"It's a mystery," Kenai police chief Gus Sandahl tells People. "But finding them is definitely the highest priority of our department," which has been working with Anchorage-based FBI officials. Police add that there were no signs of forced entry into the family’s apartment, which was locked, nor were there signs of a struggle or obvious foul play. Adding to the mystery, both Adams' and Jividen's cars are parked outside; Adams' wallet, cell phone, and bank card were in the apartment; and their camping gear was left behind. They also didn't pay their rent, notes Reuters. Adams' sister, Lanell Adams, says the two last spoke on May 27 and that her sister sounded “distressed,” per KTUU.

Loved Ones Keep Searching Alaska Woods for Missing Family of Four
07/09/2014 at 06:45 PM EDT


Walk through the front door of the home of Rebecca Adams's grandmother Patsy Gifford, and the first thing you notice are the maps, spread out on a coffee table by the sofa, covered with tiny hand-drawn squares, shaded in with black ink.

"These are the areas that have been searched," Rebecca's uncle Dennis Gifford tells PEOPLE as he runs his finger over the paper. "But the woods here are so dense, so thick and they’ve found nothing."

Gifford, like everyone else in Kenai, Alaska (pop. 7,300), is struggling to explain how his 22-year-old niece Rebecca, her two daughters Michelle Hundley, 6, and Jaracca Hundley, 3, and her boyfriend Brandon Jividen, 37, could have just vanished from their three-bedroom apartment.

Last seen on May 25, the family members, who left behind all their belongings, including their wallets and keys to their cars, have been the subject of intense – and, so far fruitless – search efforts, involving local police, the FBI, scent dogs, helicopters, planes and dozen of trained personnel and volunteers.

"It's a mystery," admits Kenai Police Chief Gus Sandahl. "We just don’t know where they are."

Family and friends of the couple, who were in the process of constructing a new home, describe them as "happy and excited to be building a life together." But on the day of their disappearance, Rebecca, known as a doting mom, sounded uncharacteristically upset.

"She said, 'Just know that I love you,' " her older sister Lanell Adams says of their last conversation. That call still haunts Lanell, who has blanketed the region with missing posters and helped organize numerous searches in the dense woodlands around the couple’s apartment where Jividen, an avid outdoorsman and hunter, would often go hiking.

"I’m not giving up until I find them,” says Lanell, who has spent the past five weeks away from her children and her job in Puyallup, Washington, looking for her sister, nieces and Jividen. The family has set up a funding site to cover costs in their ongoing search efforts.

Missing Alaska family of four case gets even more sinister

For weeks, family members and local Kenai residents have pointed the finger of suspicion at Ms Adams’ former mother-in-law, Lisa Marie Hundley.

The 46-year-old is the grandmother of Michelle and Jaracca, whose biological father Jaramiah Hundley was killed in a Kenai motorcycle accident at the age of 23 on May 30 2012 — two years to the day before the family vanished.

<snipped>

Court documents show that Hundley was arrested with her then boyfriend, James P Clarke, a registered sex offender, on charges of methamphetamine possession, growing marijuana, gun theft and sexually mistreating a 14-year-old girl.

Hundley and Clarke were also charged with giving methamphetamine and alcohol to a minor.

Alaska Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Enforcement agent Jay Sjogren said a raid on the couple’s home in Soldotna (another small town neighbouring Kenai) uncovered more than two ounces of methamphetamine as well as three stolen guns and 10 other firearms.

It has also emerged that Hundley was in a legal battle with Rebecca Adams over the estate of Jaramiah Hundley in the months prior to the young mother’s disappearance.

Thanks cw618

When the disturbing personal dynamics encompassing this case is considered and ... the seemingly low-keyed response or press statements of LE agencies as well as ... the lack of any significant coverage by the major media networks compared to other missing family cases ... could it be Rebecca Adams, Brandon Jividen and the girls are involved in type of protection program?

Missing Alaska family of four case gets even more sinister
JULY 14, 2014


<snipped>

Police found their first-floor unit locked with no sign of forced entry, a struggle or foul play.

All the family’s belongings, including wallets, clothing, camping gear and Jaracca’s nappy bag, had been left behind. Breakfast was still on the table and their jackets were draped over chairs at the table.

Both the couple’s vehicles were parked outside and the girls’ car seats remained in place.

The family’s English springer spaniel, Sparks, is also missing and relatives say they are clinging to this as an indication the family is still alive and in hiding. But from whom, or what?

Remains, Clothes in Alaska May Be Linked to Missing Family of Four
March 22, 2015

Human remains and clothing that were found near the southern coast of Alaska may be connected to the disappearance of a family of four last year, police said Sunday.

Police in Kenai, about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, said items found at the scene Saturday night "appear to match items identified as missing" from the home of Brandon Jividen, 38, Rebecca Adams, 23, and Adams' daughters, Michelle Hundley, 6, and Jaracca Hundley, 3. The family's dog, Sparks, was also missing.

The FBI, which has been involved in the investigation since the family disappeared in May, was sending an evidence response team, police said.

The family were last heard from on May 27, when Adams called her sister, who reported that she sounded distressed but wouldn't say what was wrong. Their cars and wallets were left behind at home, and their cellphones appeared to have been turned off, authorities said last year.

Police scheduled a news conference for Monday. "We know the family and the community have waited a long time for the answers in this case," the police statement said.

Remains may be linked to Alaska family missing nearly a year
March 22, 2015

(Reuters) - Clothing and human remains possibly connected to the May 2014 disappearance of a Kenai, Alaska, family of four have been found along a trail near their home, police said on Sunday.

Rebecca Adams, 23, her two young daughters and her 38-year-old boyfriend, Brandon Jividen, were reported missing on May 27 from their home in Kenai, a city of about 7,300 located 65 miles southwest of Anchorage. The daughters are 3-year-old Jaraca Hundley and 6-year-old Michelle Hundley.

A preliminary review of the area west of the family’s apartment produced items identified as missing from the residence, the Kenai police said in a statement.

Police said it would take some time to make a positive identification from the remains.

The FBI had been assisting with the search and will provide a team of evidence specialists, police said.

An unidentified person discovered the remains while driving and alerted authorities Saturday evening, police said.

Last year, an FBI out-of-state canine team came to Alaska to search wooded areas. State troopers also assisted with ground and aerial searches.

At the time, police said the family left behind automobiles, children’s car seats and camping gear. The family’s dog, Sparks, also was missing.

Police said there had been no signs of forced entry into the family's apartment, and officers found the door to the apartment locked. Investigators found no signs of a struggle or foul play in the apartment.

Human remains, clothing found in Alaska may be linked to missing family
Published March 23, 2015


Alaskan authorities investigated Monday whether human remains discovered along a trail may be linked to the disappearance of a family of four who disappeared last May. 

The remains and some clothing were spotted by a passerby Saturday on a trail northwest of Kenai -- less than 2 miles from the home where 23-year-old Rebecca Adams lived with her boyfriend and two young children.

The Kenai Police Department noted that some of the items found at the scene match items missing from the family's apartment, the Alaska Dispatch News reported.

Authorities said no formal identification has been made yet on the remains. An FBI team is assisting in the investigation.

Alaska police discover four bodies, handgun near family home
March 23, 2015

KENAI, Alaska (AP) — Authorities investigating the disappearance of an Alaska family missing for nearly a year have discovered four bodies and a handgun about a half a mile from their home.

Kenai police Lt. Dave Ross said Monday the bodies haven't been identified by a coroner, but police have every indication it's the missing family.

He added that they believe the gun came from the family home based on a serial number match.

Ross provided few details, saying the investigation remains open. But he said there's no reason to believe another person was involved in the deaths or that the bodies were moved.

He said the remains of a dog that match the size of the family dog also were found along the trail.

The bodies were found in a depression behind bushes that made them hard to see from the trail.

Rebecca Adams, 23; her boyfriend, Brandon Jividen, 38; and her children, Michelle Hundley, 6, and Jaracca Hundley, 3, were last seen in May.

Police, with help from the FBI, led a massive search when the family went missing but failed to uncover any clues.

At the time, relatives said it appeared the family had left without packing. Their two vehicles were parked outside their apartment, and their rent for June had not been paid.

A person driving down a west Kenai trail spotted clothing and what appeared to be human remains Saturday, police said in a statement.

Responding officers found remains and items reported missing from the family's home.

Police 'Confident' That Remains Are Missing Alaska Family of Four

By Elisha Fieldstadt

Investigators in Alaska are "very confident" that human remains found over the weekend are those of a family of four who went missing last year, but they are still waiting for confirmation from a medical examiner, police said Monday.

Kenai police Lt. David Ross said at a news conference that remains discovered Saturday were in a small "depression" off a trail about a half-mile from the home of Brandon Jividen, 38, Rebecca Adams, 23, and Adams' daughters, Michelle Hundley, 6, and Jaracca Hundley, 3, who vanished on May 27.

Clothes found with the remains match articles of clothing that went missing from the family's home, and the remains of a dog are similar in size to the family's dog, who also vanished with the family, Ross said.

(VIDEO) Four bodies, handgun found in search for missing Kenai family
 Mar 23, 2015


Four sets of human remains discovered off a Kenai trail last weekend offer a grim answer to the fate of a Kenai family missing for more than nine months, according to a Monday statement from the Kenai Police Department.

KPD Lt. David Ross told reporters Monday afternoon that police were informed of the remains' discovery, off a vehicle trail between Alpine Drive and Borgen Avenue, at about 9:50 p.m. Saturday.

The event marked a break for investigators in the disappearance of 37-year-old Brandon L. Jividen, 22-year-old Rebecca C. Adams and her children, 5-year-old Michelle Hundley and 3-year-old Jaracca Hundley. The family dog, an English springer spaniel named Sparks, was also missing.

Responding officers found what appear to be the remains of four humans and one dog in a depression about 15 yards off the trail, along with clothing “consistent with” the family and a handgun with a serial number matching a box found at the family’s home.

“The clothes, the remains, the handgun all appear to match the missing family,” Ross said.

HUMAN REMAINS FOUND NEAR TRAIL SUSPECTED TO BE THOSE OF ALASKAN FAMILY WHO WENT MISSING LAST YEAR
March 27, 2015 by Michelle Sigona

Police in Alaska say the human remains found over the weekend in Kenai are consistent with a family who went missing last spring. During a press conference, Lt. David Ross said along with the remains, clothing, a dog and a handgun match things that were missing from the family’s 3-bedroom apartment. The location was in a shallow depression 15 feet from a trail that is less than a mile from where they lived.

 ::snipping3::

The dog found on location, according to Ross, is similar in size to the family dog “Sparks” that vanished around the same time. In addition, authorities said they located the box of a handgun inside the house, that serial number matches the gun found at the scene.

Authorities are looking into this as a possible murder-suicide because they don’t believe that an outside party was involved. ‘We don’t have any reason to believe from what we’ve collected that they were transported there,’ Ross said during the press conference.

 ::snipping3::

The investigation into the case will continue, especially while the medical examiner’s office works to positively identify the remains. The FBI has also travelled to the area to help with the investigation.
