Title: Search for Clinton Nelson in LA - Jan. 18-20, 2008 - TES needs help
Post by: carolyn on October 19, 2007, 03:12:28 PM
Hey everyone...my name is Carolyn Johnson - my son Clinton Nelson went missing from Princeton LA on 9/1/2006.  Texas Equu Search is going to be doing another search in January 2008 - probably the second or third week.  We will provide definite dates later this year.  There is around 15 miles that may need to be searched and we need as many volunteers as we can get.  If anyone knows of search and rescue teams that may be willing to help that would also be great.  If you are interested please let me know and I will get your information to Cindy from TES so that we can start putting a list together. 

Thank you in advance for all of your help and consideration.

Take Care.

Carolyn Johnson

MumInOhio - we will be searching from Princeton - Ward Lane all the way to the Haughton area if necessary - it is about a 15 mile stretch.  Is this what you are looking for?


Thanks

Yes..Thank You Carolyn. I had seen Haughton in my reading and wondered how far from Princeton it was. I thought the main area of interest was Princeton, though.

Yes..Thank You Carolyn. I had seen Haughton in my reading and wondered how far from Princeton it was. I thought the main area of interest was Princeton, though.

There is about a five mile radius that has already been searched. The area is in the Princeton area going the opposite direction from Haughton.  Clinton and His father's family live in Haughton, which is about 9 miles from Princeton.  TES wants to research what has already been searched and if necessary go all the way to his father's property in Haughton.  I think the thought is that Clinton may have tried to walk home and maybe there was some kind of accident.  Obviously he has not been found in visible areas but when I was walking along what I thought was a ditch, there were actually drop offs as far as 10-15 feet.  If by some chance Clinton fell into one of the drop offs (some of which are in swamps/marshes/culverts etc).  He may be in an area that can't be seen from the road and would not be traveled by hunters/hikers, etc.

Carolyn ~  I've been trying to figure out how I could come and help with the search, but I regret I won't be able to.    However, I would like to donate funds to help with the search.  Maybe the money could be used for food for volunteers, posters, whatever the need might be.  Please let me know where to send it, and I would like to earmark it for Clinton's search. Also, if there is anything else I can do, like making phone calls (I have nationwide calling on my phone), sending emails etc. to help, let me know.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness.  I am sorry I won't get to meet you but I defiantly appreciate you and everything you have been doing.  I am not sure where to have you send money....but I will find out. As far as phone calls and such....I know Angelala on BFN is trying to get volunteers to help coordinate things if you can send me your contact info I will put her in touch with you.

Klaas - Can you send Muffy my email please....I am sorry to keep bothering you about this.

MumInOhio,
I did pass your email on to Angela, I think she is going to contact you and the others that have offered to help today.  As far as gift certificates, yes...it would help.  We have had several SAR's offer assistance but we need to cover transportation, food, shelter, etc.  We are working on ways to get these expenses covered so that we can get as much help as we can get.

Thanks,

OK Everyone....I need your help!  The search for Clinton is set for the third week in January which is January 18, 19, and 20, 2008.  Texas Equu Search will be heading it up.  In addition we have had a number of SAR volunteers offering to help with the search from all over the country.  However, we need to provide transportation, food, lodging, water, etc.  The area that needs to be searched is 15 miles (this is not square miles) and LE is requesting grid by grid search. Therefore the more assistance we can get from experienced SAR's the better.

Here are my needs....
We have to raise money to cover the costs associated with the search.  Let's Bring Them Home is taking financial donations to help with the search expenses (it will be tax deductible). :2thinky: I need you to come up with any fund raising ideas in your local area to raise money or if you can or are willing to donate, please do so.  My understanding is that all donations that LBTH receives during this period before the search will go to offset the costs for the searchers.

http://www.letsbringthemhome.org/
click on "financially supporting our program"
This will launch a secure pay pal site

We also need some volunteers to help with organizing everything
Flyers to get volunteers to help with the search,
Food, Places to stay, Permission from Land Owners etc.

Angela has generously stepped up to help organize this and she is the person to go to on this her contact is for_clinton@harenza.com

I am not used to asking for help!  Asking for this kind of help is very difficult for me, however, I NEED to find my son and I don't have the finaces to cover these expenses by myself.  In addition we have a short period of time to pull everything together. I REALLY need your help - no donation is too small! 

If you are not able to help financially or physically, please pray that whatever is need to make this search happen comes in!  Thank you in advance for your help.

Carolyn...I would like to donate, but I want to be sure what I donate goes to Clinton's fund and not a general fund. How do I do that and know it is for you? When I go to the link to pay through paypal I notice it says >>
Your gifts of time, finances, or resources will fund safety education programs, as well as our support services to families with missing children and adults.
It doesn't say this is for Clinton search. Am I confused ?

Nut44x4 - LaDonna from LBTH has told me that all donations now through the search will go towards Clinton's search.  I know that it does not specifically say that but that is what I have been told.  If you are still concerned...you can also right a check and put in the memo for Clinton's search and send it to LBTH or to me.  If you want it to be a tax deduction it will have to go to LBTH.

Thank You

Carolyn
PS - I am attaching LaDonna's email so you can see it in writing just in case anyone has concerns.

Quote from: Gloria on Today at 08:50:15 AM
Carolyn, here are a few suggestions to raise money.
  1. Have the youth from your church, or the girlscouts,boyscouts,and highscool classes to have a car wash...or raking leaves fundraiser.
 2. Call the pastors at the various churches and ask them if the women ministries would be interested in having a bake sale for the cause.
 3. speak to a local radio station and ask for free airtime for an auction for fundraising for Clinton. You go around town and get all your local merchants to donate gift certificates,gifts,etc that you can auction off on the radio. In 4hrs or less we raised $5000 for Marco.
 4.Have a cake walk at your church, or Sr. activity center these usually raise alot. Some people have paid up to $500 ( i seen it) for a cake made by their wife or their favorite cake.
 5. Have a horseshoe tournament..Everybody loves that. If it is too cold then ask your local bars to have a dollar a drink hike for the fundraiser..50 cents hike on all beers.. they will do it too.
 6.get the highschool students involved..hire out for a saturday workday around the house...babysitting and all monies go to Clintons' search
 7. Ask a local quilter to donate a homemade quilt and sell raffle tickets.place a box in all the local stores.
 8. This is something i think would be a hoot for the kids at school to. remember back when we had (slave day) and we had to pick somebody we wanted to make miserable or just have plain fun wih and we would buy that person for $2.00 and they had to carry our books, do our homework or whatever we told them to do for 24 hrs..todays kids would have a ball with that..their minds are full of punishment..LOl  I am sure they or we would change the name to prevent any hard feelings...
 9. Speak to Wal-mart about matching your dollar amount or your local county has a committee that matches fundraisng usually up to $50
 10.Oh yes..sweet revenge again for the students..we also did buy a date..we picked out a date for a friend or self and paid that person $5.00 to take out somebody who they would not ever be seen with or somebody they like and are afraid to ask out..we had a ball with this one..and then we went to the movies..and if you do this perhaps you could ask the movie theatre to donate a portion of the ticket sales that night to clinton's search..

  These are just some things I know I will be doing again for the upcoming search for April Beth. I hope you can use all or some of these ideas.. As I said please get ahold of me about the motels.. I love you and it will all come together sweet friend..it will


Hey everyone - Gloria posted these fundraising ideas on BFN - I thought I would post them here also.

Thanks Gloria, Thanks everyone for your help.

Here are my needs....
We have to raise money to cover the costs associated with the search.  Let's Bring Them Home is taking financial donations to help with the search expenses (it will be tax deductible).  I need you to come up with any fund raising ideas in your local area to raise money or if you can or are willing to donate, please do so.  My understanding is that all donations that LBTH receives during this period before the search will go to offset the costs for the searchers.

http://www.letsbringthemhome.org/Give.htm
or
http://www.letsbringthemhome.org/
click on "financially supporting our program"
This will launch a secure pay pal site

We also need some volunteers to help with organizing everything
Flyers to get volunteers to help with the search,
Food, Places to stay, Permission from Land Owners etc.

Angela has generously stepped up to help organize this and she is the person to go to on this her contact is for_clinton@harenza.com.

You can also contact me @ find-clinton@hotmail.com.

I am not used to asking for help!  Asking for this kind of help is very difficult for me, however, I NEED to find my son and I don't have the finaces to cover these expenses by myself.  In addition we have a short period of time to pull everything together. I REALLY need your help - no donation is too small! 

If you are not able to help financially or physically, please pray that whatever is need to make this search happen comes in!  Thank you in advance for your help.

I am reposting this as the top link to LBTH will take you right to the donate page without having to do two steps. 
 

I am posting this again as there is a new email address for me since there have been some problems with the other email.  Thanks

Hey everyone....is there anyone out there that is good a designing flyers....we need one that for right now tells about Clinton and the upcoming search but one that can be sent out to people to try and get donations.  The goal is to have one that can be easily adapted to whatever the need or situation is.

Also, I have tried to get an email list together and I sent out an email to everyone (I think) that I have spoken to by email about helping in anyway with the upcoming search.  If I have missed anyone, please email me at find-clinton@hotmail.com.

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (Little Rock)

SPOTLIGHT Let's Bring Them Home Advocates for missing persons
 
BY MICHELLE PARKS ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE
 

ROGERS - The idea behind Let's Bring Them Home is simple. Someone is missing, and the agency's staff wants to help return him home.

But the agency doesn't focus on just children or adults or the mentally disabled who are missing. It focuses on them all.

The office is in a space the size of a walk-in closet adjacent to LaDonna Meredith's husband's photography business in downtown Rogers. The three staff members - Meredith, Amy Smith and Misty Meredith, La-Donna's sister-in-law - aren't here very much, though. They're often visiting civic and community groups and schools, talking about their mission.

Meredith and Smith, mothers with two children each, have been involved in their community and in nonprofits for years. Smith taught preschool. Meredith spent two years at the Rogers office of the Morgan Nick Foundation and then worked with the Kendrick Fincher Memorial Foundation.

"Both of us are very passionate about children and safer communities," Meredith says.

They decided to put their backgrounds and knowledge to use on a larger scale.

After surveying families nationwide with missing loved ones, they found there are many grass-roots organizations. Most of those are named after someone, and the life span of such named organizations is about 10 years, Meredith says.

They wanted something longerlasting and broader in scope.

They carefully looked at other nationwide groups focused on missing people: the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the National Center for Missing Adults.

"We didn't want to reinvent something that was already in existence," Meredith says.

So a group of people sat around Meredith's dining table and decided to focus on all missing persons - from children to the elderly.

Group organizers did things backward, Meredith says, by gaining national exposure fairly quickly. They looked at the Kent Jacobs case, in which the 42-year-old disabled man disappeared in March 2002 in Fayetteville, N.C. They believe he was beaten and murdered for the $100 he carried, but he has never been found.

"There are literally no clues to where he is," Meredith says. "That case is one that's really touched us to the core." His case had gotten little media coverage. They offered the largest missing persons reward in that state's history - $150,000. Though the reward has expired, they recently put up a billboard message asking people to call a hot line with information.

"We do not pick our cases; they pick us," Meredith says.

They only get involved if the family or law enforcement officials requests their help. A police report must have been filed for them to take on a case.

Some 2,300 people are reported missing every day, Meredith says. But only a small fraction - maybe about 100 - of those cases are broadcast nationwide each year.

Let's Bring Them Home helps to bring public attention to such cases. The nonprofit has taken on 15 cases in its first two years. Four of those cases were solved, "which is pretty good odds," Meredith says.

It wasn't all the effort of Let's Bring Them Home that brought results, though. Law enforcement did a lot, but the organization has helped increase public awareness.

Bringing that attention "to a case that otherwise would not be brought to light is very important," Meredith says.

Two of those recoveries were in Arkansas.

One was Nelson Berger, who disappeared from Bella Vista. They planned a search, but his body was found the day before. It's suspected he had a heart attack and crashed his converted motorcycle.

Another was a 16-year-old Siloam Springs girl who reportedly ran away from home in July. She was returned home about eight weeks after she disappeared.

The organization works as a liaison between families and law enforcement agencies and also provides public relations services. When taking on a case, staff members meet the family and learn about the details one on one.

SOMETHING THAT'S LASTING The organization also focuses on prevention. Safety Matters is an education program for mentally disabled adults and children. Let's Bring Them Home partnered with the Arkansas Support Network. Out of that came Jacob's Project, an effort to establish an alert system for the mentally disabled similar to the Amber Alert, which is for child-abduction cases.

Another program, Perception Project/Kids Off the Grid, focuses on children who aren't reported missing due to drug addiction, homelessness, or the children being runaways or the victims of unreported crimes.

April's Hope creates beautification projects, like the Arbor of Hope at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks, and also raises money for search and rescue equipment.

"It's so easy for people to forget, so we want to be able to be a part of something that's lasting," Meredith says.

The McGruff Safe Kids Total Identification program is a state-of-the-art photo identification system and prevention program. The agency bought the franchise, but isn't using it to make money. They accept donations on their Web site.

They've educated about 8,000 children and provided identification packets to 800 children. The goal is to provide identification for 60,000 children in seven counties. Each packet costs $10 to produce.

"We believe it's so important that we want to give that at no cost to them," Smith says.

It gives families a digital copy of their children's fingerprints and photograph, along with vital statistics. That can give police what they need to immediately start a search when a child disappears.

"You have a small window" of time, Smith says.

"Our goal is to empower these kids and their families to be safe and to be smart," Meredith says.

Smith says they feel that the more prevention they do, "the less recovery we'll have to do." The agency is also developing a safety program for the elderly.
More information on Let's Bring Them Home is available by calling LaDonna Meredith at (479) 966-0471 or by visiting the Web site: www.letsbringthemhome.org

Carolyn (and Monkeys)...

I didn't realize you have two threads here. Sorry. My other post might oughta-maybe-shoulda be moved? Anyway... I wanted to let your monkey supporters know that I will be posting a link to your excellent flyer seeking volunteers starting the second week of January. As you know... we have compiled a fairly huge assortment of places to "send" (post) the flyer... and I do expect you will then start seeing some responses with volunteers.

I can't remember the date LaDonna plans to start the media campaign but my hope is to start the Internet postings/requests just after she gets the press releases out. I sure wish I could go too... I'm so close (N. Texas)... but... the searchers need Prayer Warriors too... and THAT is going to be my full time contribution for all three days.

Hey everyone,
TES has a link on thier site that says.....

Often people ask us how we can do it...
This is how, spoken from the heart of a child.

Watch the youtube video.  It is worth it. 

I know this post does not necessarily belong under Clinton's thread but it really touched me when I saw it.

Thanks
Carolyn

OK - Everyone...there is something going on in Clinton's case (which I can't tell you about) but I am posting this as I need a favor.  I/We need your prayers.  I don't know how this is going to turn out, and no matter what happens with this lead it is going to be very difficult.  All of us in the family and those that are helping to look for Clinton need prayers, peace, and guidance.  Thanks and I really appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Carolyn Johnson

Carolyn wanted to let us know that she has arrived in Louisiana and is all checked into her accomodations. The search is about to start and she will give me a call tonight when she will have more news about the turn-out and progress.

This is an enormously important time for Carolyn, for Clinton... she very much appreciates our prayers.

If you'd like to light a candle please go to (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/images/btn/flicker120x60eng.gif) (http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=CLINT)

(sorry... I keep forgetting there is a separate thread for the search effort...)

Carolyn, if I could, I would be there.  Chronic illness just sucks.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and the searchers this weekend.
