Right now law enforcement agencies in Cole County are looking for a St. Martins girl, missing since Wednesday evening.

 

Cole County Sheriff Greg White says 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten went missing around 6:15 p.m. after leaving a friend's house and walking home.  White says Elizabeth was walking a half-mile stretch of Route D just south of Highway 50.

 

Elizabeth has long brown hair and was wearing a pink sweater, pink butterfly shirt, pink scarf, blue jeans and white sneakers.

 

The Cole County Sheriff's Department is leading the search.  They are recieving assistance from the Highway Patrol, including a search helicopter.  White says crews are using infrared and thermal technology to search in the dark and to make sure they are covering all possible ground.

 

The Highway Patrol says it hasn't issued an Amber Alert because there isn't enough evidence to suggest Elizabeth was abducted.

 

If you see Elizabeth Olten or have any information for law enforcement, call the Cole County Sheriff's Department at (573) 634-9160.

Susie... you are wrong.. I live in Jefferson City, and I have young children. I would not allow my 7 year old daughter out in our own back yard (in the area this little girl is missing from OR here in Central JC) Its just getting to crazy in the world. Elizabeth Olten was last seen walking down highway D and if u look at a map or have traveled this road on any occasion you will know its no place for a child to be walking.. Its curvy and people speed down it often. Its hardly a place for a grown woman or man to be walking. I do pray for her to be returned home safely. 

http://www.topix.com/forum/city/st-martins-mo/TD0L4C6QKR33PRDIV

There are some interesting comments at the St. Martins forum on Topix.
http://www.topix.com/forum/city/st-martins-mo/TD0L4C6QKR33PRDIV

One poster claims that a Dale Olten is a suspect in the case of missing Jasmine Haslag from 2 years ago.  Dale Olten and Dale Olten Jr, A father and son from Russellville were indicted by a federal grand jury separate cases for illegally possessing firearms and for possessing stolen firearms

Then another poster, posts "Yes, Elizabeth's father isn't in her life......."

I have no idea if this is all related as have not seen names of her parents in any articles nor do I have any concept of how common the last name Olten is in MO.


http://www.topix.com/forum/city/st-martins-mo/TD0L4C6QKR33PRDIV

Dale Olten SO.

I will not post it here as it has a phone number on it for his CO.

https://web.mo.gov/doc/offSearchWeb/searchOffender.do?docId=502689&method=getOffender

Here is Dale's mug shot.  I did a side by side with Elizabeth and there are resemblances.  They COULD be related.

Dale Olten JR.

https://web.mo.gov/doc/offSearchWeb/searchOffender.do?docId=1160141&method=getOffender

Thanks for all the updates, I don't know what to say, except I pray for her safe return. But that pic of that pond sent chills down me.

OMG thanks for the mugshots  ::MonkeyNoNo::

ST. MARTINS -- UPDATE: Thursday 10:41 am:

KRCG news has learned that missing 9 year-old Elizabeth Olten had a cell phone on her when she she disappeared.

She sheriff's department contacted the cell phone provider, AT&T, who "pinged" the cell phone to triangulate its location.

AT&T put the cell phone's location deep in the woods near Elizabeth's home. The family says Elizabeth would not have been walking in the woods to get home from her friend's house. There are only four homes between the friends house and Elizabeth's, and the family says she normally walked near the road.

AT&T says the cell phone is not responding to pings anymore and probably ran out of batteries, the phone company says it will continue to monitor the phone in case it turns back on.

http://www.connectmidmissouri.com/news/story.aspx?id=366189

Is it just me or could she be related to them?  And they are BOTH suspects of the other missing girl from 2 years ago.

Thats one scary looking SOB!

Is that Dale Sr or Jr?

Facial hair dude is senior

Could be, and now about the cell phone in the woods  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Above BBM is it just me or is it strange that they say this right off the bat and now her phone was last pinged there????

Sorry Northern, when i posted there was only the pic of Sr... got it tho  ::MonkeyWink:: Thanks! 

Is there a listed address for the mug shot boyz?

  There is a poster in the St.  Martins forum claiming to be a friend of the mom:

For all of you who want to criticize this child's mother, shame on you. This is someone's BABY! This is someone's SISTER! I know this family, and realize that the distance is being reported as 1/4 of a mile, but I hate to break it to you people who want to bash her mother, that's not quite an accurate distance. The mother hadn't even been told that the child had been sent home from the friend's house, so she couldn't have gone to pick her up even if she had wanted to! Maybe instead of criticizing the mother, you could find something more productive to do, like say a prayer for the safe return of the child! How dare you? Think what you want, but have some heart for this family & keep it to yourself! Freedom of speech only shows what negative people some of you are! 

http://www.topix.com/forum/city/st-martins-mo/TD0L4C6QKR33PRDIV

I have to agree with her somewhat, i do not think right out of the gate in a missing child/person case it is right to jump on the family and pick at every part of them, and bash  them and blame them. i also dont think they sould be ruled out but there is a fine line there IMO

One would think this would ba a pretty good clue, and place to start looking.  This article leaves alot out tho, which is probably done for a good reason but like what time they actually pinged her phone, when it last pinged and when it went dead/turned off.... with those facts they would have a good start on where to look and get a good head start on the case so to say....

 If you do a MO white pages there is a Dale A in Russellville MO.  Not sure if same for either of them.  Here is Sr's release date.

Offender ID: 20092220 Offender Name: DALE SCOTT OLTEN Date of Birth: 03/08/1963 Age: 46 Custody Status: Out of Custody Reason: General release Date: 10/15/2009 Race: White Gender: Male

 They can locate the phone turned on or not as long as the battery is intact. They should have already had a helicopter over the location with equipment on board that allows them to tack the signal as well as infrared technology to find her body.. mo.

Damn, not another one. My prayers go out to little Elizabeth. That cell phone location doesn't sound good. :(

Yes, and I keep saying this, and I know people don't like me too, but people get a comfort zone, they feel they are safe, and then a tragedy strikes. I know nothing about this mom, I will wait and hear more. She could be a very good mom for all I know.

  ::MonkeyNoNo:: Unbelievable, the cell phone location and the looks of that pond, that did me in. Prayers for Elizabeth  ::MonkeyAngel::

Based on the articles that state where the command centre is, that the command centre is close to her home, and that her cell is in the woods close to her home, IMO this is the woods her cell is in.

I agree that was a mucky lookin pond  ::MonkeyEek::

You know, when will people begin to realize that it is not safe to allow children to walk alone anywhere. Not just because of so's, but they're kids. They have the judgment of kids. They'll wander. They're naturally curious. They'll explore. They're fearless. They're over confident. If an adult is going to welcome another's child into his/her home, they become responsible for that child's well-being. So why would Elizabeth's friend's mother allow this child to walk home alone?  If all of these horrific reports of children being abducted and murdered doesn't do the trick, what will?  I'm tired of lazy parents and adults that play poker with a child's life.

There is the small mucky looking one south and then almost directly north there is a larger deeper looking one. I also found it strange about the woods comment and then to find out her cell was triangulated in the woods.  Could have been that her family knew ATT had found it there and the comment was made without the cell information being made public.  Or at least I hope.

If that is him that release date is very suspicious (sp).

Jess I know how you feel.  I live in a northerly part of Canada with no real dense populated areas within a couple of hours drive.  However when the kids have friends over I feel it is MY responsibility to ensure they are safe until I see them walk through their own door again or hand them back over to their parents.   I feed them, look after them if they get hurt, and am the one that has taken on the responsibility by agreeing to have that child over to my house.  It is not  a burden, it is a responsibility, and yes things do happen when you have friends over, however you are still responsible for that child. I have cancelled my own plans when I drove a child home to find their parents not there, when a parent has called me as they were going to be late etc. 

Dale Sr and Dale Jr Olten were suspects in a different missing girl case Jasmine Haslag from two years ago.  The speculation right now is that they MAY be related to Elizabeth. 

More tidbits from teh family friend - Michelle

Mom's name is Patty
It was the GRANDFATHER of the friend that sent Elizabeth home.

Patty wasn't sitting on her lazy a**! She wasn't even told by the grandparent of the little girl's friend that he had sent her home! How dare you judge when you don't really know! That mother is dying inside not knowing where that little girl is, and you have the audacity to place blame?!? Know what you're commenting on before you do something like that next time. Elizabeth's mom isn't at fault for this, and I hope that now you know that maybe you'll reconsider what you typed.

Search under way for 9-year-old mid-Missouri girl
The Associated Press

ST. MARTINS, Mo. | Dozen of people were searching a rural, wooded area in central Missouri today for a 9-year-old girl who did not return home a night earlier after visiting a friend.

Cole County Sheriff Greg White said Elizabeth Olten left the friend’s house about 6:15 p.m. Wednesday and was supposed to walk a quarter mile to her home in St. Martins, just west of Jefferson City. She was reported missing around 7 p.m.

Elizabeth was listed as an “endangered missing person” and the FBI had joined the case, White said. The sheriff said it did not appear that the girl had run away from home, but no Amber Alert had been issued because there was no evidence of an abduction or foul play.

The Jefferson City News-Tribune reported that Elizabeth’s family members said she is afraid of the woods and the dark, so she wouldn’t normally be out at night.

Elizabeth, who has long brown hair and brown eyes, is about 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 102 pounds. She was last seen wearing a pink scarf, sweater and T-shirt with butterflies, blue jeans and white shoes.

The search focused on a section of woods several hundred yards in diameter, which police had narrowed by triangulating the girl’s cell phone location, White said. But the battery had died by this morning. An uneven terrain, high brush and soaking weather hampered the search effort.

“If you go to Iowa and look at a flat piece of farmland that’s 140 acres, you go, well it’s not that big.’ You translate that to Missouri and you use the same thing, you walk a long time to cover that same amount of land,” White said. “It’s muddy out there now. It’s difficult terrain, it’s difficult weather.”

On Wednesday night, the Missouri State Highway Patrol searched for Elizabeth using a helicopter with a thermal imaging radar. But White said fall foliage hindered that effort.

When the full search of about 60 people resumed this morning, a team with dogs used by the Department of Corrections joined officials from nearby fire departments and numerous state and local police agencies.

Michelle, I'm praying for Elizabeth's safe return! I feel so bad for her mother, as well as Elizabeth's friend's family. Can anybody even imagine what that Grandparent feels like knowing they were the person to send her home and she went missing? Today's day & time is a far cry from yester year when parents sent their kids to school walking 4 miles away, rain & snow. From what's been stated, they only lived 4 houses away. I'm assuming you know this exact area. Could you tell us if Elizabeth's path should have been on the road or if she would have had to go through a field or woods to get home? Can you also tell us the name of her father? Thank you.

This article squarely identifies a systemic problem with the Amber Alert system. Here you have a sheriff saying no amber alert was issued because there is no evidence of foul play. In Somer's abduction an amber alert was issued because there was evidence of foul play. And, according to the sheriff in Somer's case, what was that evidence?  The fact that she didn't arrive home when she should have. We'll neither did Elizabeth folks.

Yeah i dont have a good feeling about this one either  ::MonkeyWaa::

Maybe, just maybe, speculating here, maybe that Dale is her dad, and is out of her life due to the trouble he was in, and maybe the last week or so since hes been out hes been lookin for a chance to nab her?? just throwing it out there as we really have no clue yet.

Please dont throw the nanners too hard

Dad or Uncle, I was leaning towards Dad based on Dale JR's resemblance to Elizabeth but that is JMO.  I found an old article of the robbery and arms bust that Dale and Dale did.  They had help from a third guy - Jesse Patterson age 21.  Here are the updated mug shots from Dale and Dale. They had enough guns to arm a small country.

http://www.connectmidmissouri.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=266703

Picture of Elizabeth to compare to Dale and Dale

Oh for god sakes another one? This is too much. They need to find this girl alive, today would be nice. Prayers for you sweet girl and for your family and the family of the friend you visited. It must be pure hell for them right now.
So this dale guy gets out of jail on the 15th and the girl goes missing on the 21st? No amber alert? I wonder if they have located this guy? Unfreaking believable.

Whoa!

Search under way for 9-year-old mid-Missouri girl

ST. MARTINS, Mo. (AP) -- Dozens of people were searching a rural, wooded area in central Missouri on Thursday for a 9-year-old girl who did not return home after visiting a friend a night earlier.

Cole County Sheriff Greg White said Elizabeth Olten left the friend's house around 6:15 p.m. Wednesday and was supposed to walk about a quarter mile to her home in St. Martins, just west of Jefferson City. She was reported missing around 7 p.m.

Elizabeth was listed as an "endangered missing person" and the FBI joined the case, White said. The sheriff said it did not appear that the girl had run away from home, but no Amber Alert had been issued because there was no evidence of an abduction or foul play.

Onna Adrian, whose daughter-in-law is Elizabeth's older sister, said Elizabeth generally walked home from the friend's house through neighbors' yards rather than along the two-lane county highway that runs past their houses.

Adrian said Elizabeth did not normally hide out and, if confronted, would have screamed and tried to run away.

"She is very shy," Adrian said. "She's not the type to get in a vehicle with anybody."

Elizabeth, who has long brown hair and brown eyes, is about 5-feet, 2-inches tall and weighs 102 pounds. She was last seen wearing a pink scarf, sweater and T-shirt with butterflies, blue jeans and white shoes.

Adrian said the girl's mother did not want to talk to a reporter Thursday. Elizabeth's father, Dale Olten Sr., has been in a Missouri prison since April serving a four-year sentence for drug possession.The search focused on a section of woods several hundred yards in diameter, which police had narrowed by triangulating the girl's cell phone location, White said. But the battery had died by Thursday morning. An uneven terrain, high brush and soaking weather hampered the search effort.

"If you go to Iowa and look at a flat piece of farmland that's 140 acres, you go, `well it's not that big.' You translate that to Missouri and you use the same thing, you walk a long time to cover that same amount of land," White said. "It's muddy out there now. It's difficult terrain, it's difficult weather."

Emergency vehicles from various agencies were parked along the highway that runs past the houses. Among the nearby farm fields is a large, muddy brown pond.

On Wednesday night, the Missouri State Highway Patrol searched for Elizabeth using a helicopter with a thermal imaging radar. But White said fall foliage hindered that effort. Around 2:30 a.m. Thursday, all but one search team broke.

When the full search of about 60 people resumed later in the morning, a team with dogs used by the Department of Corrections joined officials from nearby fire departments and numerous state and local police agencies.

I am looking all over trying to find it and a news source that would stream it

So Dad IS Dale Sr who was just released on Oct 15th and is a suspect in the Jasmine Haslag case and brother would be Dale JR who was arrest for robbery and guns possession along with dad.

She would not have walked on the road, but would have cut through the woods according to her older sister.  The cell may have fell out of her pocket?

I have checked the weather and it has been raining and cold. 

Wow  ::MonkeyEek:: Thanks for all the updates.

KOMU has a stream but they have not said they are carrying the presser and are showing the rain and roads right now on their live cam.  It looks to be pouring rain.

 ::MonkeyAngel:: Prayers for this little one.  I can't believe two little girls in one week have gone missing.

I certainly hope that the LE are locating her father and roughing him up some to find out where he's been.

Thank you so much NR - this is just unbelievable....  Sounds like they are doing all they can, I would bet this guy has been located or they are at least hot after him. 

Was Dale Sr. her boyfriend at the time??????

Ahhhhhh.....OK....I get it now >>

Haslag and her boyfriend Dale Olten were charged with second-degree drug trafficking on May 24 in Eldon. When officers searched the vehicle Olten and Haslag were driving, they confiscated nearly 80 grams of methamphetamine and more than 100 grams of marijuana, a pistol with the serial numbers removed and more than $1,000 in cash.

Update 12:00:  Authorities believe no foul play was involved in the disappearance of a Jefferson City-area girl, and they continue to search a wooded area in St. Martins near her home.       ::MonkeyEek:: She is nine years old, no foul play?

That is not enough information, how can they say the don't think foul play is involved, what aren't they telling us?  Am I supposed to believe she just decided to wonder into the woods, sprained her ankle, and has made no effort to call out.  

"Authorities believe no foul play was involved in the disappearance of a Jefferson City-area girl, and they continue to search a wooded area in St. Martins near her home."

Yea maybe she went camping on a whim.. honestly.

ST. MARTINS -- UPDATE: Thursday 2:03 pm:

KRCG news has an update following an afternoon press conference with Cole County Sheriff Greg White.

White says so far they have no information that would lead them to believe foul play is involved.

There are now over 200 volunteers helping in the search. The sheriff says they have enough volunteers for the time being.

The rain is hampering the search effort which is still focusing on where AT&T says the Elizabeth's cell phone was last located.

The last "ping" pointed searchers to the woods behind the family's home. The family says it is a mystery why the cell phone would be in the woods because Elizabeth only walked near the woods.

The cell phone is no longer responding to the "pings" from the cell tower and could have a dead battery. The sheriff's office has requested the call records from AT&T.

Lowes Home Improvement store has donated rain gear for searchers.

So dale jr is her brother? I wonder if this little girl was a witness against him?

A computer check of sex offenders in the area didn’t turn up any leads, White said--------------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone interpret this statement?  Does it mean they went on the net like we do and all looked good, or they looked all the SO's computers and did not find pictures of Elizabeth.  What does this mean?  I hope to god they went to each house and checked and really checked for evidence...not like what happend to Jaycee.

He is still in the Klink.  He has some interesting friends on his myspace though.

Thanks for posting this Norrose. At lease now we know where the woods are. Can we put up a pic? Where is the home?

Oh I am sorry I got confused so daddy dearest is out of jail?

I found 94 offenders in zip code 65109, which looks to encompass St. Martin and western parts of Jefferson City.  That's alot in the area to have already cleared them all.

The have not given enough info to identify her house yet only a general area.  Her mom is Patrica Preiss as there was a DNA paternity case against Dale Sr in his 5 pages of court records.  No Preiss comes up in white page searches.  The woods they are searching based on info about the command center and which block the friend lived on and Elizabeth lived on I believe to be here.

I take that to mean they looked at computers? I don't think they are saying they have cleared any of them, just they didn't have any information about this case on their computer....(yet anway, my comment)

Offender ID: 20092220 Offender Name: DALE SCOTT OLTEN Date of Birth: 03/08/1963 Age: 46 Custody Status: Out of Custody Reason: General release Date: 10/15/2009 Race: White Gender: Male

That really doesn't look like a huge area, does it?

I bet they think she is with him and that is why they say no foul play. Of course Daddy just got out of jail! Something tells me they are not at disneyworld.

Thats what I thought too. Looks smaller/shorter then the distance she walked

That just makes me sick.  I have not gotten to checking out SO's yet.  Why is it that everytime there are cases there are so many SO's in every one of them in the area?  I think they need to clear out the prisons and put all our children in the jails to keep them safe. 

Fanny, there you are! i lost you!

I think they said its pretty hill-y and bad terrain, ponds trees hills and rain, harder to search

Could the dad have snatched Elizabeth, and taken off with her?

Yes, I am familiar with that area. It's just a lot smaller than I thought it would be. (I've been making jelly and reading along.)

Are the parents divorced? It may have been stated and I missed it. Is there bad feelings between mom and dad?

I knew u were making jelly! hope it was fun! 

I dont know why they are having such a hard time or taking so long, i know the were asking for more searchers this am, i would think they could have found her by now...

I think with the dad just getting out of jail and having such a record he might have something to do with it...

Has not been stated.  However, Patrica did take him to court to order a DNA paternity test for Elizabeth and he was her father.  Nothing indicates that they were married, just that Dale Sr is her Dad.  I am going on a limb here and guessing that Dale SR has been in Jail so much that he would not have had much contact with any of them.  JMO

Not sure if they were ever married, dad's gf came up missing a few yrs back and he is a suspect, and Northern said in his court papers that there was a request to determain paternity on Elizabeth

Some comments from the link above:

OMG,,not again, this is crazy and Im about ready to just lock my child up, I cant believe this, not another one.....What is going on....is it just me or is this becoming a everyday thing, is there somekind of group going around doing this, I dont know what to say.......I just cant believe it, God Bless her Family and please help LE to find this one today....alive......please.

Could very well be, just thought maybe, he took her for revenge or for whatever sick reason.

Here is a wider view.  The news said the command centre was set up there as it was close to Elizabeth's house.  She had to walk 4 houses home (not confirmed) and it was 1/4 mile from friend to her house.  There is a huge section of woods north that could be where the cell was pinging from. 
http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

OMG .  I am sick right now.  I hope these people are wrong and it is just a rumour spread wild.  When I saw the picture of this girl it hit me hard as she looks so very similar to my daughter at that age. 

The article that Klaas just posted, sure doesn't look good  ::MonkeyNoNo::

ST. MARTINS -- UPDATE: Thursday 3:04 pm:

Emergency officials on the scene tell KRCG that NO body has been found.

They say they are turning away volunteers only because they simply have too many.

The command post says that there are still volunteers searching the woods.

I have friends in the area...I called one who's BIL works for the Sheriff's Dept. She said her sister called her an hour or so ago and asked her to go out to dinner as her husband called and said he will not be home tonight. He has been involved in the search. She said he never talks about his work...but said her sister said he sounded stressed out and angry. This isn't looking too good.

Who is running that command post? I have a feeling whoever it is has never handled a big search before. Too many volunteers?  That is crazy. These are people who probably live in, or near the area and know it....damn!!

The picture that Klaas posted shows the searchers by a road sign that says 222 Lomo Drive (A) .  The command centre is at is set up at Xtreme Body & Paint (B) near her home.  She was last seen near the intersection of Rte D and interstate 50.  I am thinking that 222 Lomo Dr is the area that the friend lived and that she headed south towards xtreme body to get home.  There is a whole lot of woods between the two spots.

WTH ... Are you kidding me?  I thought SO's we NOT supposed to be near schools let alone running their security cameras.

Not sure who is running it but FBI was called in today.  I know what you mean about locals knowing it.  We have woods behind us and I walk the dog every day in those woods. I know when a new tree has fallen, when something has changed, when a rock has been moved etc.  because I am in them every day.  I can tell you where the fox holes are, where the owls live and where the deer like to eat in the morning. Locals know this better than anyone as they frequent the area.

6 min ago - Volunteer: Officials Stop Sending Out Volunteers
Volunteer members of a group searching for 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten said they were told by law enforcement officials that no more people would be sent out to search for the girl. Officials have scheduled a 7 p.m. news conference to discuss the case.   Posted by Matt

She is tall for a 9 year old isn't she? 5'2"? That size of a girl could have been mistaken as an adult walking down the street. Does that area have prostitution?

Oh god folks, hold onto your hats... this does not sound good.

BLOCKED WEBSITE

Yes I thought that as well.  At age 9 I do not think my daughter was even 4'2.

I don't think I was 5'2" until the 7th grade.

The reports are confusing. Why would they send volunteers home? They might ask if they could hang flyers or something, but too many? I will just wait until the press conference I guess. It is only 2:25 hear, what time is it at? 

coincidence?

Officers Enforce Sex Registration

BOONE COUNTY - Officers from the Boone County Sheriff's Department conducted a daylong search on Thursday to reinforce registration for sex offenders.

Convicted sex offenders are required to register with law enforcement according to Missouri State Law RsMO 589.400 and the federal Adam Walsh Act. According to a release, officer tried to contact 78 people, they were successful with 39. Officers discovered four violations and made three arrests for violations.

All convicted sex offenders covered under these laws are encouraged to register at the Sheriff's Department by calling 573-875-1111.

The update said 7pm.  I believe it is 4:25 in MO right now.

All i can say is that in 5th grade i was the tallest girl in the class, and i never grew anymore again, i became shorter and shorter than everyone as the yrs went on and i am 5' 4"

I find it VERY sad that it takes something like this to open LE's eyes to this problem ::MonkeyNoNo::

Just throwing this out there, but I doubt it, could she have fallen in one of those ponds by accident? Have the ponds been completely searched?

Well by the sound of that, they must not have found anything, if they are saying this.

They were only successfull contacting half of them.  Yup the whole SO back in the community monitoring sure is working well as long as they did not set their goals above 50% compliance rate. 

 ::MonkeyMad::    ::MonkeyMad::

They have not stated that either way.  Just that they are focusing in the woods where the cell phone was pinpointed.

" I am the public information specialist for Missouri Missing, I have been in constant communication with Peggy Florence and Elizabeth's family since last night. There are a lot of questions about the relationship between Elizabeth and Dale Olten Sr.
It is in fact true that Dale Olten Sr. is her father. He is currently serving time in prison on drug charges.
Dale is also the man that Jasmine was dating at the time of her disappearance in June of 2007. This is not a rumor. However, this does not in any way mean that the two cases are related.
Jasmine's mother, Peggy Florence, has been with Elizabeth's family since last night and will continue to be by their side until Elizabeth is found. "


http://www.komu.com/satellite/SatelliteRender/KOMU.com/acc5f19e-80ce-0971-01f4-55ed559132e2

I found in one of the article comments that Dale S was released 15/10/2009 but went to a different correctional facility and is currently there.  I have not found him as an inmate yet, but the statement above indicates that he may well be in the klink as well.

I can't even begin to tell all the rumors and thoughts and suspicions I've hearding regarding Elizabeth's disappearance and for reasons of uncertainty, I refuse to mention them. We don't know for sure what's going on, what's been found--if anything, or which rumors to believe and to repeat what someone's father's friend, a searcher, a concerned citizen or a 'rubber-necker' heard or saw is completely counterproductive and I for one will not believe anything unless I receive it from a reliable source (local news, police officer with first-hand knowledge, FBI, etc.) I've been praying for this family, for Elizabeth, and for her friend and her friend's family. I think now we all need to pray that the TRUTH will be shared and not hear-say and rumors.

Very strange  ::MonkeyEek:: ...........

I dont like the sound of the property being roped off, that means that a certain area has been selected to be of special interest, something important happened in this area if it is indeed roped off, and thats why they have it that way, so strangers and others dont go around that area, they want to be able to gather evidence or look for evidence and other people milling around would make that difficult, ....I cant believ this is actually going on again.......and not looking good.......OMG

They're working in a grid type manner, taping each area off after they search it & then moving onto the next area. I know a lot of locals who were helping to search, but because of the use of the infared, they've asked everyone to kinda back off so they could keep track of the people searching & know whether they're seeing one of them or someone/something else on the infared.

I'm sure they've looked into any relation to what has happened with other family members in the past and any other people who might've been involved in that.

The fact that there isn't an Amber Alert really alarms me. I understand that there has to be certain criteria met, but there's a 9 year old who has been missing for nearly 24 hours now. What more criteria do we need? Get Elizabeth's picture out there. Let us post it on our electronic billboards in STL & other cities. Make people more aware. I thought that was part of the reason Missouri put all those electronic signs along I-70. I'm still praying every minute for her safe return home to her mom, family & friends.

Nine year old missing in central Missouri

Brian Kelly/Maria Keena Reporting
bpkelly@cbs.com

 
ST. MARTINS, Mo (KMOX)  -- Niney law enforcement officers and 250 volunteers are looking for a nine year old girl missing from the Cole County, Missouri town of St. Martins, just west of Jefferson City.

Cole County Sheriff Greg White says Elizabeth Olten left the friend's house around 6:15 p.m. Wednesday and was supposed to walk about a quarter mile to her home in St. Martins. She was reported missing around 7 p.m.

They say Elizabeth Olten has long brown hair and brown eyes and was wearing a pink sweater, blue jeans and white shoes.

You are wonderful   ::MonkeyAngel::

gosh I give up...I had it right the first time...I really am a dork!!!!

pretty chilly and wet there

I'm confused about Jasmine's mother being with Elizabeth's mother  ::MonkeyConfused:: Perhaps they were friends before Jasmine disappeared?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Elizabeth's dad was involved with her daughter.  They know each other that way?  Her daughter was arrested with her dad at one time and then she came up missing is the way I understand it.

Might have been.  Just the fact that Dale is Elizabeth's father and that Jasmine was his g/f when she disappeared would be enough of a connection.  The two mothers may have become friends when Jasmine disappeared.?

Yes, that could be, what in the world happened, just like with Lindsey and Somer so close to home.

Thats why i was confused too, why would elizabeth's mom be friends with elizabeth's dad's gf's mom.... unless they share a distain for Elizabeth's dad and think he is involved in his gf's dissapearance

Like I said before, maybe they should throw all the SO's out in the streets and lock our children in the jails to keep them safe.  FTLOG if they are happy with a 50% compliance rate in a check of SO's that does not speak well for the whole l"et them out on the streets and report where they are" system they have now.

It's been said the dad was not in Elizabeths life, and when Jasmine disappeared, her mother was trying to find out all she could....who better, then the mother of his child/ren.
But that is the connection to me.

If my daughter went missing and her b/f was the last to see her you can bet your booty that I would be asking that b/f's  former wives and g/f's everything about him and if he had any special isolated places that he liked to go.  They could very well have become friendly when Jasmine went missing because of having the common Dale connection.

You said it much better than my attempt at it.  TY  ::MonkeyKiss::

Elizabeth Olten Vanishes Walking Home from Friend's House
CBS' Crimesider reported Thursday that a 9-year-old Missouri girl, Elizabeth Olten, has been missing since Wednesday in Cole County. Elizabeth Olten disappeared sometime after leaving a friend's home at around 6:15 p.m. When she did not arrive home by 7 p.m., her family called the police. Elizabeth Olten's friend lives just a quarter mile from her house.   Volunteers, family, and authorities searched the woods surrounding the path the 9-year-old would have taken for hours into the night. The search resumed on Thursday.

Elizabeth Olten went missing in the small town of St. Martin, Missouri, roughly 150 miles west of St. Louis. Authorities reported that Olten was supposed to have returned home after visiting a friend but never made it to her house. The Jefferson City News-Tribune reported that family said that the 9-year-old girl was both afraid of the woods and of the dark, so being out at night was very uncharacteristic and reason for worry.

9-year-old Leaves Friend's House, Disappears

COLE COUNTY, Mo. -- Authorities are searching for a 9-year-old girl who never arrived home after leaving a friend's house.

Elizabeth Olten was supposed to walk a quarter mile to her home Wednesday evening around 6:15.

She reported missing by her family when she didn't arrive by 7 p.m., Cole County authorities said.

Olten's family said she is afraid of the woods and the dark, so she wouldn't normally be out at night.

Police and FBI are searching for the girl but weather and wet terrain is hampering the operation.

Olten was last seen wearing a pink scarf, pink sweater, butterfly t-shirt, blue jeans and white shoes.

She is about 5 feet 2 inches tall, has long brown hair, brown eyes and weighs about 102 pounds.

ST. MARTINS -- UPDATE: Thursday 6:25 p.m.:



Cole County Sheriff Greg White tells KRCG that all searchers, including law enforcement, are being pulled out of the woods.



White says the woods are too dank and wet to continue a safe search tonight for missing 9 year-old Elizabeth Olten.

White says they traced the source of the rumor that a body had been located. The sheriff said it is totally untrue and that no body has been recovered.

KRCG’s crew at the scene says police officers are now stopping cars coming in and out of the area handing out flyers and asking questions.

Many are questioning why an Amber Alert has not been issued. The Highway Patrol says that the law creating the amber alert defines specific criteria, which include evidence of abduction.

Sheriff White says he has no evidence so far that Elizabeth was abducted, but says if new information comes forth he will request an Amber Alert.

The highway patrol says the specific criteria are designed to keep the amber alert system from being overused.

In this case, an endangered person's advisory was issued instead.

"We put this out to law enforcement all through the Region F area, which is a thirteen-county area, and of course entered it into the NCIC which covers the United States,” says Sheriff White. “So the simple difference would be how much the average citizen would get on it.”

Meaning that with an advisory there is no activation of the warning systems on TV’s, radios or highway signs.

KRCG has confirmed that Elizabeth lives with her mother. Her father, Dale Olten Sr., has been in a prison since April serving a four-year sentence for drug possession.

At the time Elizabeth was coming home it wasn't dark out yet, correct, at least it isn't here at that time. So again I wonder if anyone saw anything. It just seems so surprising to me how these children vanish, and nobody sees anything.

checking in for news...It is almost five here so I am thinking it is almost 7 in MO? I don't have sound so I will rely on all my monkey friends to clue me in.

200+ volunteers search for missing girl

ST. MARTINS -- The search continues Thursday night for Elizabeth Olten, 9, in St. Martins. The local VFW post has tuned into the command center for authorities and the hundreds of volunteers who showed up to help.

More than 200 hundred people showed up throughout the day to help search a patch of woods behind Olten's home.

"It's really scary because you just never know,” said volunteer Laura Parris-Henningsen. She drove to the VFW Hall in St. Martins as soon as she heard the news Thursday morning.

Parris-Henningsen's son goes to Pioneer Trails Elementary School, the same school Olten attends.

"I let my kid walk down to the Dollar General from our house which is less than a mile with his friends, and you think, 'Wow, he may never come back,” said Parris-Henningsen.

Sheriff White says the wet weather has made search efforts hard on the volunteers and law enforcement. But that's not enough to keep many of the volunteers away.

"I'll be here until she gets found,” said Parris-Henningsen.

No more volunteers were needed for Thursday night searches.

Map that NG had up

From what was reported on NG here is an updated map

Putting all the pieces from the reports together.  Not sure where she would have crossed Rte D from friends house, but since the cell is in the woods behind her house not sure it matters.

Thanks for the maps, I don't get this either, is there any possibility she could have been spooked by something and ran in the woods and fallen into the pond or a hole, anything. I know that makes little sense, but something doesn't seem right here.

Thanks Northern for all the maps and links you have given today. You have done a tremendous job for Elizabeth. I just wanted you to know Job well done. I pray they find her safe and sound, although from what I have read that she is afraid of the woods, it might not turn out to be.  ::MonkeyWaa::

This is all just so sad it doesn't make sense, none of these cases do!!!

Search for missing girl ends for the night


JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMOX)  -- The search for a missing nine year old girl near Jefferson City has been called off for the night and will resume Friday.
 
Nine year old Elizabeth Olten has been missing since she failed to return from a friend's house near St. Martins Wednesday evening.

Hundreds of volunteers have been searching rough terrain, including a wooded area in the rain for the girl.

Elizabeth is described as a shy girl who is very familiar with the quarter mile walk from her friends home.

Missing Girl Search: Called Off For the Night

Rescue crews in Mid-Missouri are taking a much-needed break after looking all day for a missing girl.

Hundreds of volunteers have been scouring the area around St. Martins, Missouri.

They've been looking for Elizabeth Olten, who hasn't been seen since Wednesday afternoon.

Cole County authorities say the 9-year-old was last seen leaving a friend's home.

They stopped the search when it got too dark.

"We've in essence taken a Google map of the area, put a grid over the top of it, and we check every square of that grid twice," says Cole County Sheriff Greg White.

Elizabeth was supposed to walk the quarter mile home but never made it.

She was wearing a pink t-shirt with a darker pink vest over that when she went missing.

She was wearing blue jeans with pink ribbons on them.

Volunteers were turned away after authorities said they had 300 search members and 100 emergency personnel.

"And I was saying, 'Well I have a ten year-old son myself', and I was like, can't really let this go. So we got together to come on down here to try to see what we can do to help out," said search volunteer Scott Lamm.

A 24-hour manned tip line has been set up to take calls from anyone who might have information in the case.

Here's the number: 1-866-362-6422.

No Amber Alert has been issued because there's no evidence Elizabeth has been abducted.

Teams will head back out tomorrow.

How Your Cell Phone Could Help In A Crisis

The missing 9-year-old Missouri Girl, Elizabeth Olten, had a cell phone with her when she disappeared.
   
This makes a lot of parents start to wonder if their cell phone could help in a crisis.
   
Cell phones can be used to track our movements through GPS. Parents are turning to these to find out where their kids are and now there's even a phone that lets you know where sexual predators are exactly where your standing.

Eighteen-year-old Elizabeth Niles uses her i-Phone to stay in touch with her not so safe surroundings. "I live on the west side and it blew me away because I had a feeling there were quite a few offenders, but it blew me away to know how close they were.," explains Niles.

That's because she has the new i-Phone offender locater application. "It definitely has made me more aware and cautious," adds Niles.

You can search offenders based on where your at or by an address. It then shows their picture, their address, and what they are convicted of doing.

"If your on vacation your going to know to pull up the address that your hotel is, the address of where your camping , even if you're looking for a house while your're there with your realtor," explains Richard James,  a Manager at Springfield's Best Buy.

If you don't have the i-Phone there is another service that could help you, it's called Family Map. It's called different thins based on your carrier. What you do is you sign up and you can be notified as to where your child is at any point of the day.

"Its best for if your child is walking home from school and you want a text to let you know your child is at home, so then they have piece of mind," adds James.

This service will only work while the phone is on. Some people are critical of how updated the sex offenders databases are, but for those like Niles she say it's already working.

"I definitely think its prevented some situations just for me," adds Niles.
   
The i-Phone Application only costs a couple of dollars.
The Family Maps will differ depending on the carrier.
AT&T charges $9.99

If you don't want to shell out the money for cell phones for your kids, there are family plans to sign up for. The family plans cost less and you can choose to sign up for only the basic services.

Authorities Suspend Search for Missing Girl Until Morning

COLE COUNTY - Authorities have suspended the search for Elizabeth Olten, a 9-year-old girl from the St. Martins area who went missing Wednesday evening, because of nightfall.

Authorities and volunteers will resume the search at 10 a.m. Friday. About 250 volunteers came out Thursday, joining about 100 officials, to search for the missing girl.

Officials are interviewing registered sex offenders in the area, but they haven't named any persons of interest. No Amber Alert has been issued because the disappearance has not been confirmed as an abduction.

Authorities have little evidence. Olten was carrying a cell phone when she disappeared. Officials have confirmed that the cell phone is located in the woods within the search area. The woods weren't on Olten's route home. The phone's battery has died, and without the signal, officials can't track the phone. Investigators are also looking into her call history.

Officials and volunteers have combed through the one-half square mile search area twice, Cole County Sheriff Greg White said. They expect to search the surrounding area starting at 7 a.m. Friday.

Olten went missing around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. She was supposed to be walking home from a friend's house only a few blocks away in the 600 block of Route D south of St. Martins, but never came home.

The Cole County Sheriff's Department has issued an Endangered Person Advisory as it continues to search for Olten. She is a white, 9-year-old female. She is 5' 2" and 108 lbs. with brown hair, brown eyes and a fair complexion with physical marks. She was last seen wearing a pink scarf, pink shirt, pink vest and blue jeans with pink ribbons. Olten was wearing white sneakers.

The Cole County Sheriff's Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the FBI are desperately trying to find the young girl.

"Well, I think the woods are a possibility (where the girl may be). Kids in this area play in the woods and farm areas," White speculated, when asked about where the girl may have gone.

The huge group of volunteer searchers included military members, housewives, public servants, and construction workers who left their day jobs to join in the search.

"I contacted my supervisor and asked him if we were going to assist in anyway," said Mark Zimmerman, a Cole County Public Works employee and a rescue volunteer. "He said he was going to ask for some volunteers."


Authorities and volunteers have been coordinating the search all day from local VFW Post 35. On Wednesday afternoon, officials were asking for no more volunteers. The outpour from the community had been overwhelming and they said they couldn't coordinate any more searchers.


The terrain in the search area is rough, hilly, and includes fields, forests, and ponds.

UPDATE: Authorities to widen search for missing 9-year-old

JEFFERSON CITY — The Cole County Sheriff's Department announced late Thursday it would widen the search for a missing St. Martins girl after one day of combing local woods turned up nothing.

Cole County Sheriff Greg White said local law enforcement would work in an expanded search area tomorrow morning as part of a continued effort to locate 9-year-old Elizabeth K. Olten, who disappeared Wednesday night. The original area of interest has been searched thoroughly at least two times by nearly 300 volunteers, White said.

Olten left a friend's home along the 600 block of Route D in St. Martins to walk to her home less than a quarter of a mile away. She had been missing for less than 45 minutes when her disappearance was reported at 6:56 p.m Wednesday.

According to the Cole County Sheriff's Office, Olten is white, 5 feet 2 inches, 102 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink scarf, pink shirt and sweater, blue jeans and white sneakers.

White could not comment on the Olten family's state of mind at this time, but said, "I'm a daddy. If my child was missing, I would be struggling."

One of Elizabeth's family members, however, did speak out Thursday.

As she sobbed before a small gathering of volunteers, community members and reporters, Elizabeth's aunt, Vicki Olten, pleaded with the community to help.

"I want my niece home," Vicki Olten said. "I want her safe."

Although law enforcement officials said they had no evidence foul play led to Elizabeth's disappearance, Vicki Olten suspects her niece was kidnapped.

"She would not have just wandered off," she said.

An Amber Alert cannot be issued unless officials rule that Elizabeth was abducted.

White said law enforcement officials have already conducted a "tremendous amount" of interviews but that there are no persons of interest at this time.

Lt. Jim Keathley of the Missouri Highway Patrol said officials were also conducting interviews of drivers at a roadblock near where Elizabeth was last seen in a continued search for leads.

"We were all hoping this would be over by now," Keathley said.

White said officials will turn their focus to investigating leads in the case. He encourages parties with information on the disappearance of Elizabeth Olten to call the tip line set up by the Cole County Sheriff's Department at 866-362-6422.

Elizabeth Olten went missing while walking home from a friend's home



ST. MARTINS -- UPDATE:  Friday 8 a.m.

The highway patrol will be using a helicopter to search for Elizabeth Olten today.

Cole County Sheriff Greg White also told KRCG investigators have questioned registered sex offenders in the county and calls some of those interviews "very strong."

White says information from the public likely will help them solve the mystery of what happened to the little girl.

The sheriff says that no new volunteers are needed. Today the focus is on smaller, more specific areas. If you would like to help contact the Red Cross.

UPDATE: Thursday 11 p.m.

The mood was somber among searches as as the crucial 24-hour mark passed earlier this evening.

Cole County Sheriff Greg White says information from the public likely will help them solve the mystery of what happened to 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten of St. Martins.

Elizabeth was last seen around 6:15 p.m. Wednesday night when police say she vanished walking home from a friend's house along Route D near Highway 50.

Thursday's search has been called off for the night and will resume at 7:30 a.m. Friday.

'I want my niece home'

After a day of searching turned up no trace of the Cole County fourth grader. At a news conference, her aunt made a desperate plea for her safe return.

"I want my niece home, I want her safe," said Vicki Olten, crying. "She's a beautiful young girl and [has] a full life ahead of her. She does not deserve this. Her family does not deserve this."

Olten says Elizabeth wouldn't have wandered off because she was afraid of the dark and believes she was abducted.

The sheriff says the investigation so far has uncovered no evidence of foul play but says that could change.

Volunteers turned away

On Thursday 300 volunteers and 100 law enforcement personnel combed the area around her home. Rescuers covered more than a half-mile by half-mile grid twice.

"We've done far more than the capability we've got," said Sheriff Greg White. "And that's simply because of the level of citizen involvement and the willingness they've had."

By late afternoon, so many volunteers showed up that many, like Gene Bauer, had to be turned away.

"We've got plenty of gravel roads in this area that could have been checked," said Bauer. "The last thing I wanted to hear from somebody is, 'Oh we've got insurance concerns.' Well people aren't out here concerned about insurance or liability. They're out here concerned for that little girl."

False rumors spread

While searchers were being turned away, a rumor started that Elizabeth's body had been found. The sheriff said that is absolutely false and criticized those who spread the rumor.

"I have spent more time telling people that rumors are incorrect," said White. "And it's really doing a disservice to the family for people to put out incorrect rumors."

Around the time Elizabeth went missing, the highway patrol set up a road block not far from her home.

"Just handing these [flyers] out to everybody coming through the area here," an officer said handing out a flyer with Elizabeth's picture.

Officers stopped traffic for several hours and talked with drivers to see if they saw or heard anything.

Authorities also slightly changed the description of what Elizabeth was wearing. She had on a pink T-shirt with a darker pink vest and blue jeans with pink ribbons on them.

During Thursday's evening news conference authorities also announced they've started a new 24-hour tip line. Anyone with any information is urged to call (866) 362-6422.

The highway patrol has committed to using a helicopter when the search continues Friday morning. The sheriff also says investigators have questioned registered sex offenders in the county and called some of those interviews "very strong."

Elizabeth lives with her mother. Her father, Dale Olten Sr., has been in prison since April serving a four-year sentence for drug possession.

 Authorities Resume Search for Missing Girl

COLE COUNTY - Authorities are back searching for Elizabeth Olten, a 9-year-old girl from the St. Martins area who went missing Wednesday evening.

About 250 volunteers came out Thursday, joining about 100 officials, to search for the missing girl. Volunteers are currently gathering at the VFW in St. Martins.

Officials are interviewing registered sex offenders in the area, but they haven't named any persons of interest. No Amber Alert has been issued because the disappearance has not been confirmed as an abduction.

Authorities have little evidence. Olten was carrying a cell phone when she disappeared. Officials have confirmed that the cell phone is located in the woods within the search area.

Officals have searched every "square foot" of the search area at least twice, Cole County Sheriff Greg White said. They will search the periphery of the surrounding area starting at 7 a.m. Friday.

Olten went missing around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. She was supposed to be walking home from a friend's house only a few blocks away in the 600 block of Route D south of St. Martins, but never came home.

Yes everyone seems to know Dale Sr and his sister Vicki and not fondly.  There was another comment about Dale JR and that he thought the world of Elizabeth.

Search Resumes At Daybreak For Missing Cole County Girl

COLE COUNTY, MO (KTVI - FOX2now.com) - It's been well over 24 hours since nine year old Elizabeth Olten was last seen. The girl from St. Martins near Jefferson City disappeared Wednesday evening as she was walking home from a friend's house. Investigators say they have found no signs of foul play in the case. But there is also no sign of Elizabeth.

The search was called off for the night on Thursday after the sun went down. Crews spent hours earlier on Thursday searching rural, wooded and muddy terrain looking for the nine year old. As more time goes by, everyone is becoming more concerned. "She's a beautiful young girl who's got a full life ahead of her. She does not deserve this. Her family does not deserve this," said

Elizabeth's aunt, Vicki Olten, about her niece. Elizabeth disappeared after she left her friend's house about 6:15 Wednesday evening to walk home. That walk less than a quarter of a mile along Route D in St. Martins. A tearful Vicki said, "Have you ever had somebody go in, just reach inside you and pull your heart out? That's what its like. She is an angel."

A massive search Thursday produced no sign of Elizabeth. 100 public safety officials from the FBI to the Missouri Highway Patrol to Cole County Sheriff's Deputies took part. Also searching some 300 volunteers- people like Shay Patterson. Shay told us, "I don't know the child but I have children of my own. And I just know that if something happened to one of them, I would want as many people to come out as possible." Cole County Sheriff Greg White tells us signals were picked up from Elizabeth's cell phone Wednesday night near the area where she disappeared.

Crews searched that area meticulously on Thursday. Law officers also set up a road block in the area exactly 24 hours after Elizabeth disappeared. "The theory in mind that the same people drive the same road the same time every night and that somebody may have driven through there last night that may have seen something," explained Colonel Jim Keathley, the head of the Missouri Highway Patrol. Sheriff White added, "The primary search area has been covered at least twice, literally every square foot of it. And we have significant number of dog teams."

Vicki just wants her niece back. "my niece is afraid of the dark," said Vicki. "All of us want is her home and safe," she added. The violent crime unit from the highway patrol has been activated. But Sheriff White says no amber alert has been issued because there is no sign of a crime. Right now, the case is being classified as an endangered child. White says information about the case has been sent to other law enforcement agencies across the country.

Some volunteer searchers were turned away Thursday because the sheriff said there were simply too many people. That left some upset. The search for Elizabeth Olten resumes at 7:30 Friday morning.

Anyone with information in this case is asked to call the tipline toll-free at 866-362-6422.

Looking at all the comments about Binder Park.  It is 1.4 miles from the house and takes 4mins to get there.  There is a huge lake, RV park and many woods there.

BINDER PARK

With 644 acres, the city's largest park, Binder Park, is located off Rainbow Dr. and Henwick Lane, 5840 Rainbow Dr., west of Jefferson City. When combined with the adjacent 66-acre Joseph C. Miller Park, a huge, beautiful, and largely natural park emerges and provides for a wide variety of activities.

Binder Park is named after Fred C., Fred H., and Frederick Binder. Fred C. Binder established a trust fund in 1918 to build a park as a memorial to his father, himself, and his son. Property was purchased from 11 owners in 1965 and 1966 and the Department of Conservation began construction of a 155 acre fishing lake.

In addition to the beautiful lake, Binder Park has a nice handicap-fishing pier and a boat ramp built and maintained by the Department of Conservation. It also houses the lighted softball fields Wisch, Williams, and Kremer. Numerous picnic sites exist throughout the park as well as many walking trails and bike trails. Two sand volleyball courts, an 18-site full hook-up RV campground with laundry and shower-house, a playground, and a covered deck/picnic shelter overlooking the lake is also located on site. The deck rents as a shelter and can accommodate groups of up to 75 people.

Scott and Byrd Softball Fields and the Radio Control Flying Field are located in Joseph Miller Park located adjacent to the south-east conrner of Binder Park.

The primary search on Thursday focused on a section of woods about half a mile wide and half a mile long, which police zeroed in on by triangulating the girl's cell phone location, White said. The phone has not been found, and the battery died by Thursday morning. Uneven terrain, high brush and soaking weather were hindrances.
 
David Wininger, a volunteer firefighter who helped look until early Thursday morning and returned after work, said it was "overwhelming" and "beautiful" to see the outpouring of assistance. Wininger, 51, said groups of searchers spread out in lines across fields and woods to cover every square foot.
 
"It's very brushy. It's very hilly. There's a lot of rocks, trees and brush piles," Wininger said. "It's a very rough place to be."
 
More than 200 volunteers showed to help nearly 100 emergency personnel, and some were turned away.
 
That angered Gene Bauer, who drove 45 minutes from Eldon to help. Bauer criticized how the search had been conducted and said he would examine gravel roads on his own if needed.
 
Vicki Olten, who is Elizabeth's aunt, called the girl a "tough tomboy," but that she was afraid someone had tried to hurt her.
 
"I want my niece home. I want her safe," said Olten, of Russellville. "She's a beautiful young girl and got a full life ahead of her. She does not deserve this. Her family does not deserve this."
 
The Missouri State Highway Patrol set up a check point on a highway near the house and interviewed motorists. The Patrol used a helicopter with a thermal imaging radar on Wednesday, but poor weather prevented a repeat of that on Thursday. Officials hoped it could be used again Friday.

This one and the little girl in Florida are just the ones that made the news. In Florida they plan to question a bunch of sex offenders that live in the area. The only question they should ask is "bullet or rope"?. Garrido was a sex offender, and should have been put down long before he kidnapped and raped a child. Pray for the girls safe return. Don't let your kids walk ANYWHERE!!!

The sex offender registry should be used as a hit list. Someday our society is going to snap. Murderers and rapists should face a firing squad, or swing from a short rope in a tall tree. The piece of trash that killed Jessica Lunsford died in prison after a long illness when he should have been buried alive like his victim. Should have dug a hole big enough for his lawyer, too.

ST. MARTINS -- UPDATE:  Friday 10 a.m.

A press conference is underway with the Cole County Sheriff's Department about what the department is doing to help search for Elizabeth Olten.

Sheriff Greg White said search crew 67 people were on the ground at 7:30 a.m.

In contrast to yesterday, which was a "mass saturation search", White said today's search will be more pin pointed and directed.

White also said that they have some phone records back from AT&T from Elizabeth's cell phone and investigators are going through those.

The FBI is helping but does not have jurisdication in the case.

thanks for all the info, Northern Rose - especially the maps and comments from the locals.

Nancy Grace need to know the rest of the story. Its so convoluted and so sick. Nancy needs to do investigative reporting on this father's background and another member of the family. Plus the people that the father hung with. This story is so far reaching its unreal. And for all of you that have been involved with this man, I would hide your kids. If this is a coincidence that its Dale Olten's child thats missing, I will eat my hat. The rest of the background is sick, twisted and heinous to say the least.

Thanks everyone for the articles and links. I have been afraid to even come in the thread this morning. This is so scary. And the comments NORTHERN just posted shows how high feeling are running about these sex perv's running around loose, feeding on our young. It should not be so easy to grab an innocent child.   ::MonkeyWaa::

You are welcome.  This one is breaking my heart as the one picture looks very much like my own daughter did at her age.  I can not image them turning away volunteers.  They could use them to go to business to get donations, hand out flyers on the streets, highways and homes.  Call every house to see if they heard or saw anything, there is so much that these volunteers could be doing if they do not want them involved in the grid search.

Search Continues for St. Martins Girl


COLUMBIA, MO (KBIA) - The search for a local St. Martins girl who has been missing more than 24 hours continues today. The search resumed this morning for nine-year old Elizabeth Olten who went missing Wednesday evening from St. Martins just west of Jefferson City. The Cole County sheriff says Olten left a friend's house shortly after 6 o'clock Wednesday night and was used to walking the quarter-mile to her home through neighbors' yards. She was reported missing around 7 p.m. Elizabeth Olten's aunt, Vicki Olten, described her niece as outgoing.
"She is a beautiful girl, does good in school, friendly, outgoing, but she would not talk to strangers, she has been taught right."

The State Highway Patrol, Federal Authorities, and the Violent Crimes Unit have joined the Cole County sheriff's efforts in the search for Otlen. The highway patrol put a roadblock in place last night around the time Olten went missing in case anyone who travels on the road at that time saw anything Wednesday night. If you have any information you can call the 24 hour tip line at 866-362-6422

There have been enough locals suspecting this is associated with a retaliation from the actions of her father Dale, that I am going to set up a thread with info I find about him.

I just realized that I have to put the info in this thread.  I am going to start with his court history.

Oh boy  ::MonkeyEek:: I don't think this is a coincidence either.

  Thanks  ::MonkeyCool::

Is it me, or does everything seem so disorganized?  I hate to say this out loud, but do you think that perhaps the family's involvement with crime that LE might not be as interested in finding Elizabeth say as they would another child?  ::MonkeyShocked::

Does the mom have a record??

I think maybe they are just as baffled as we are, and dont know whatto think, i deff think they are handling it weird, like callin off the search at night....

retaliation? what on earth did he do? I will see what I can find too Northern rose. I am curious as too why there are so many comments such as this.

Eldon is a really small town in Missouri...not far from Osage Beach...not far from Jefferson City...
there is lots of terrain in that area...lots of water...
scary....
the girlfriend and now the daughter is right Tracygirl...very strange...

Wonder what the father has been up to in prison, pissing ppl off? getting in fights??? running drugs still??

From the article I posted..
"Hopes of finding some answers in the case increased in July when authorities spent a few days on the Osage River after a fisherman reported he pulled up what appeared to be a human hand. However, searchers failed to locate a body."

I am assuming they tested this hand and it was Jasmines and that is how they ruled this case a homicide?  Maybe they should look around this same place for this little girl?

ya know, I was thinking the other night (before reading all this crazy stuff about the family, OMG!) that I found it strange that they stopped the infared search because they said that the fall foliage was too dense?

WTH?  and infared search should be able to get through the fall foliage, shouldn't it?  and isn't a fall foliage LESS than summer foliage?

And doesn't this county have the necessary equipment to see through ANY types of foliage?

really, really weird situation to turn away volunteers and not be searching 24/7.  She's only 9, for God's sake.  I mean, that one commenter said that they searched ditches and stuff - why weren't the cops searching the ditches?  or the many volunteers?

something is way up with this one.

I'm sorry to ask, and I know it sounds lazy, but is someone willing to give a quick recap of this case?  I would really appreciate it because I am so far behind with concentrating on Somer.

tia.

Bump

I was reading the original thread on websleuths about Jasmine Haslag and someone said the fisherman who found the hand freaked out and dropped it? So they didn't find a hand? How are they determining she is dead?

 I found an old article of the robbery and arms bust that Dale and Dale did.  They had help from a third guy - Jesse Patterson age 21.  Here are the updated mug shots from Dale and Dale. They had enough guns to arm a small country.

http://www.connectmidmissouri.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=266703

I do not know.  I know the locals are saying that she disappeared just before the trial for the drug charges was to have started.  I have not dug up the old articles yet as there is so much other stuff right now.  So very sorry.

so, then Jasmine went missing and is assumed dead?

does she have family in the area?

 Thanks Northern Rose.   ::MonkeyCool::

The family is working with the group MISSOURI MISSING:

Elizabeth Olten went missing while walking home from a friend's home
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 10:53 p.m.

ST. MARTINS -- UPDATE:  Friday Noon

The family is working with the "Missouri Missing" organization to make pins and flyers to hand out.

The FBI is helping but does not have jurisdiction in the case.

The sheriff says that no new volunteers are needed.

If people want to help they are asked to call the red cross, which is assisting in the efforts.

Police, Family, Volunteers Continue Search For Missing Cole County Girl
Elizabeth Olten Was Last Seen Wednesday

VIDEO


COLE COUNTY, MO - The search continues in mid-Missouri for a 9-year-old girl who has been missing since she started walking home from a friend's house. Cole County Sheriff Greg White said Friday that about 70 investigators are checking leads and another 70 people are scouring woody, uneven terrain west of Jefferson City. White says he's not sure if Elizabeth Olten is still in the area.
Elizabeth left a nearby friend's house Wednesday night. She has brown hair and is 5-feet, 2-inches tall. She was wearing a pink scarf and shirt with butterflies, blue jeans and white shoes.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol hopes clouds will break up enough Friday to use a helicopter with thermal imaging radar.

Anyone with information in this case is asked to call the tipline toll-free at 866-362-6422.

Yes.  Her mother has been with Elizabeth's mother since the news broke and has stated she is not leaving her side till they find Elizabeth.

BLOCKED WEBSITE

G'Afternoon Monkeys,

I was hoping to log on and find good news.  Looking at the maps and remembering the comments of how many houses that are between her house and the house she was visiting. They said there were 4.  Has anyone heard what the occupants of these house had to say, starting with the grandfather of the friend who sent her home. 
Also it was said, she would not go into the woods but that she would walk behind these houses.
My husband is a truck driver and most of the rurals highways in MO are just that rural highways.  I would hate to think along the lines of Shaun Hornebeck and the child that was next for that man.

Im not quite sure about the retaliation theory, the father has been in jail for quite some time.
Who is also a person in Jasmine's disappearnce.

thanks.

looks like Jasmine's mother has been very actively searching for Jasmine.

Elizabeth was at a friends house aprox 1/4 mile away from her home, was sent home at 6:15 never made it home, the mom was apparently unaware that she was sent home to walk. she never arrived, and there are lots of woods around there, but the mom was quick to say she is scared of dark and woods, when no one even said anything about woods.

Next we learned she had a cell phone on her and att pinged ot deep in the woods behind her families home, now the batteries are dead, they have been searching but turning volunteers away. been raining pretty bad and cold there, they have searched a 1/2 square mi area (i believe where her phone pinged last) twice now. they have just recently set up a road block and are handing out fliers...

They have been using infared technoligy to search, and called off the search due to the rain and stuff last night  ::MonkeyConfused::

The dad is in jail, his previous gf is missing presumed dead and father is suspect, fathers son is also in jail/or has been jailed.

The missing gf's mom was hanging out with Elizabeth's mom the other day....

I think that about covers it....

Thank you.  I knew there was a facebook, but did not see the myspace till your post.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Help-find-elizabeth-Olten/177698802291?ref=search&sid=15915110.165684542..1

Isn't it sort of strange the robbery started after Jasmine disappeared? Or I think, right? when a person has so much going on it is confusing.

So a theory could be, Jasmine was taken and held for ransome he cannot pay or payback. He turns to robbery to pay his debts, he can't and now his daughter vanishes...I can see why people are putting these two cases together, although the most commen sense theory is she was picked up while walking alone.

It does. Sunset was 6:21 that day.   Only 4 houses between home and friends house.  Friends Grandfather who was looking after kids sent her home without calling her mom.  Aunt Vicki Olten is the one who is being interviewed now.  She is Dale Sr's sister and has defended him very vocally that he had nothing to do with his prev g/f Jasmine's disappearance.

They have been turning away volunteers since yesterday and only have 50 searching today even though hundreds want to help.

thanks SC.

Can't imagine why they are turning away vols - unless they are pretty sure what has happened and want to contain areas.

Can someone see if Jesse Patterson age 21 , the 3rd person arrested with Dale and Dale from the guns article is still locked up or where he is?

Helicopter Helping in Search for Missing Girl

COLE COUNTY - Authorities, including a Highway Patrol helicopter, are back searching for Elizabeth Olten, a 9-year-old girl from the St. Martins area who went missing Wednesday evening.

In a 10 a.m. Friday news conference, Cole County Sheriff Greg White said there are 67 volunteers on the ground right now searching for Elizabeth. 70 investigators are working on the case. A Highway Patrol helicopter was able to help in the search around 11:30 in the morning after weather delayed the overhead search efforts.
White says searchers covered a wide area on Thursday, the Friday search is more contained to specific areas. White did not give any more details. He did say an abduction is the least likely possibility in Elizabeth's disappearance. He plans to speak to the media again at 3 p.m.

About 250 volunteers came out Thursday, joining about 100 officials, to search for the missing girl. Volunteers are currently gathering at the VFW in St. Martins.

Officials are interviewing registered sex offenders in the area, but they haven't named any persons of interest. No Amber Alert has been issued because the disappearance has not been confirmed as an abduction.

Authorities have little evidence. Olten was carrying a cell phone when she disappeared. Officials have confirmed that the cell phone is located in the woods within the search area. The woods weren't on Olten's route home. The phone's battery has died, and without the signal, officials can't track the phone. Investigators are also looking into her call history.

Officals have searched every "square foot" of the search area at least twice, Cole County Sheriff Greg White said. They will search the periphery of the surrounding area starting at 7 a.m. Friday.

Olten went missing around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. She was supposed to be walking home from a friend's house only a few blocks away in the 600 block of Route D south of St. Martins, but never came home.

The Cole County Sheriff's Department has issued an Endangered Person Advisory as it continues to search for Olten. She is a white, 9-year-old female. She is 5' 2" and 108 lbs. with brown hair, brown eyes and a fair complexion with physical marks. She was last seen wearing a pink shirt with a darker pink vest, blue jeans, and white sneakers.

The Cole County Sheriff's Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the FBI are desperately trying to find the young girl.

"Well, I think the woods are a possibility (where the girl may be). Kids in this area play in the woods and farm areas," White speculated, when asked about where the girl may have gone.

The huge group of volunteer searchers included military members, housewives, public servants, and construction workers who left their day jobs to join in the search.

"I contacted my supervisor and asked him if we were going to assist in anyway," said Mark Zimmerman, a Cole County Public Works employee and a rescue volunteer. "He said he was going to ask for some volunteers."


Authorities and volunteers have been coordinating the search all day from local VFW Post 35. On Wednesday afternoon, officials were asking for no more volunteers. The outpour from the community had been overwhelming and they said they couldn't coordinate any more searchers.


The terrain in the search area is rough, hilly, and includes fields, forests, and ponds.

New information on the search for Elizabeth

Law enforcement and volunteers have been searching for about almost 5 hours this morning, but still no sign of fourth grader Elizabeth Olten from St. Martin.

She has been missing now for nearly 40 hours, after she vanished while walking home from a friend's house Wednesday evening.

Today, the search is going better thanks to the weather.

During a 10 a.m. press briefing today, Cole County Sheriff Greg White said a search crew of 67 people were on the ground at 7:30 a.m.

That's in contrast to yesterday's search of hundreds of people.

White said today's search will be more "pin-pointed and directed.”

The sheriff said a tip line got calls overnight, but wouldn't say if any leads have come from it.

White also said the department has some phone records back from AT&T from Elizabeth's cell phone and investigators are going through those.

That cell phone is now out of batteries, but before it died the cell phone company was able to triangulate its location as deep in the woods behind Elizabeth's home.

Searchers went over that area twice yesterday and didn't find the phone. The family said Elizabeth would not have gone into the woods.

The family is working with the "Missouri Missing" organization to make pins and flyers to hand out.

The FBI is helping, but does not have jurisdiction in the case.

The sheriff says that no new volunteers are needed.

If people want to help they are asked to call the red cross, which is assisting in the efforts.

I found Dale Sr and Jr are in the same correctional facility.  Jesse Petterson returns nothing.  Unless he is being held in county jail till trial he could be out.

according to the info I found at the link above, he hasn't had his trial yet.

I did find a news article that both Dales had NO bail - and Jesse's bail was $50,000.

He could easily be out right now awaiting trial.

Can't find an inmate locator.

oh, duh.  you just posted an inmate locator, lol.

Scarey - you asked if Elizabeth's mom had any court records?  She had a traffic ticket - driving without a seatbelt -  back in 1996 and the paternity case she filed against Dale in 2007.  That is it.

there's more than one page on the docket entry - looks like he bonded out in June!

So he posted his $50,000.00 bond, WOW.  Wonder if he is bitter that he got dragged into it with Dale and Dale?

he's able to afford his own atty...

thanks!! just was curious

This is really REALLY bothering me   and im not sure how to post this right  but here goes.
Not my opinion...just what I found in the topix forum...what I question is and I will seperate the line from the rest.  Maybe someone can help me with this.

There is another post right above that one.....Just freaking erie.....Do they not know what they say? 

From reports, some in Jasmine family is upset with Vicki, Dales sister.

This is very weird and interesting, this could be taken as a threat or a see what we can do to make you feel how we feel, or it could very well be kids who are hurting lashing out at the closest person to the one they think hurt their mom....

This is so very sad.

What I am curious about is how and why would LE say an abduction is the least likely of possibilities? hmmmm Person is missing...that person is 9...she was walking alone...doesn't seem that far of a leap to think she was abducted.

Maybe they are considering she ran away?

   ::MonkeyEek::  Thanks for posting this, this whole case is off, something is just wrong, LE don't think she was abducted? Do they think she got lost in the woods, and got killed? Not making sense.

Here is the other message. WOW these poor kids, you can feel the pain. My heart goes out to them

I'm curious why they think Vicki knows anything? Isn't Jasmine's mom sticking by Vicki?

the said this same stuff with Sandra, and iirc the said it in the begginingof Somer's case too.....

Im trying to find any updates....I still want to know...and havent found anything about the house she left from - the houses she should have passed.  So very quick.

Anything I would have to offer would be speculation...but..if I was LE...I certainly would be starting from point A...and I wouldnt rule out anything having to do with Jasmine.

However, we saw what happen with Shaun and the other child that went missing in a blink of an eye.

Highways in Missouri are not reg highways, you certainly can get lost with Highway D's  E's FF's and such.  A very different system.

I think that someone thru her phone away, while she was trying to call home. I also think, the LE waisted precious time.

Just doesn't make sense, do they think she ran away? Wondering if there were problems at home, but then the cell phone.....   Maybe they will find something on the cell phone records.

That could very well be, and nobody saw anything because it appears to be rather remote, maybe not a lot of traffic through there?

UPDATE 10/23

Hundreds of people continue the search in a wooded area near Jefferson City for 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten.  She left a friend’s house shortly after 6PM Wednesday and was supposed to walk a quarter mile to her home in St. Martins, just west of Jefferson City. Elizabeth’s aunt pleaded for help at a Thursday evening news conference:

Cole County Sheriff Greg White responds to criticism that the search area was not expanded:

White explains why an Amber Alert was not issued:

The girl’s father is Dale Olten.  He’s the former boyfriend of missing Cole County woman Jasmine Haslag, whose abandoned car was found near Mokane.  Haslag has never been found.

TIP HOTLINE: 866-362-6422
http://kwos.com/?p=1025#more-1025

No you have the family tree mixed up.

Patricia (Patti) is Elizabeth's mom
Dale Sr is Elizabeth's dad
Vicki is Dale Sr's Sister - Elizabeth's Aunt through Dale
Jasmine was the g/f of Dale that was with him when they got busted for drugs.  She vanished just before the drug trial, lots of speculation that Dale and his associates had something to do with her disappearing as she was never in trouble till she hooked up with Dale and she was going to squeal on the whole drug ring.

Vicki has been standing up for her brother saying he had nothing to do with Jasmine vanishing, she was a druggie etc.  after Jasmine vanished

The ones leaving the messages are the kids of Jasmine prior to her relationship with Dale. 

Jasmine's mom has been with Patti since the news broke that Elizabeth went missing.

 Vicki stuck herself in front of the media starting last night saying her brother is crying from his jail cell for his daughter etc.

I found that odd as well.  Next presser is in 15 minutes.  Lets see what White says.

WTH.  This is either really bad reporting or  White is saying because she is the daughter of Dale there is no amber alert?  Does anyone understand this statement?

ST. MARTINS -- Update: Friday 2:10 p.m.

Cole County Sheriff Greg White says they do not believe that Elizabeth Olten's father's criminal history has anything do to with her disappearance.

Dale Olten Sr., has been in a prison since April serving a four-year sentence for drug possession.

In February Olten Sr. and his son, Dale Olten Jr., were arrested for burglary after a two day man hunt. KRCG covered that story, to see mug shots are read the story
click here. http://www.connectmidmissouri.com/news/news_story.aspx?id=266703

The sheriff says a random abduction is not likely. He says they are still hopeful to find Elizabeth alive: "we are endeavoring to find a young lady very much alive and reunite her with her family."

Today, the search is going better thanks to the weather.

Missing Cole County Missouri Girl Found Murdered

ST. MARTINS, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - Police say they have found body of missing 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten. Authorities say she was found murdered in the woods. The Cole County, MO girl has been missing since Wednesday. The Associated Press says police have a juvenile is in custody.

Body of Missing Missouri Girl, 9, Found in Woods

The body of a 9-year-old Missouri girl who vanished walking home from a friend's house was found in a heavily wooded area Friday.

An "older juvenile" suspect led authorities to Elizabeth Olten's body, deep in the woods near where an exhaustive search for the child was under way for much of the day.

Elizabeth disappeared just after she started walking home from a friend's house Wednesday night.

"There's been no contact with her since then," Cole County Sheriff Greg White told Fox News earlier Friday, before Elizabeth was found dead.

White said Elizabeth spoke with her parents on the phone before she left her friend's house.

"Her parents said she should leave and get home," he told Fox.

About 70 investigators worked on leads Friday and another 70 people spent the day scouring woody, uneven terrain west of Jefferson City, Mo.

Missing Girl's Body Found

COLE COUNTY - The Cole County Sheriff reports searchers found the body of 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten just before 3:00 this afternoon.

Investigators said written and physical evidence led them to a person of interest who then led them to the body. The sheriff said the person of interest is not a member of the family, but is an acquaintance. Investigators said the body was located a distance from where they had been searching. The person of interest is a juvenile and is in custody.

For all of you who want to criticize this child's mother, shame on you. This is someone's BABY! This is someone's SISTER! I know this family, and realize that the distance is being reported as 1/4 of a mile, but I hate to break it to you people who want to bash her mother, that's not quite an accurate distance. The mother hadn't even been told that the child had been sent home from the friend's house, so she couldn't have gone to pick her up even if she had wanted to! Maybe instead of criticizing the mother, you could find something more productive to do, like say a prayer for the safe return of the child! How dare you? Think what you want, but have some heart for this family & keep it to yourself! Freedom of speech only shows what negative people some of you are!

Missing Cole County Missouri Girl Found Murdered

ST. MARTINS, Mo. (AP) - Police in mid-Missouri say they have recovered the body of a missing 9-year-old girl and have a juvenile "person of interest" in custody. Cole County Sheriff Greg White told reporters Friday that the person of interest and Elizabeth Olten were acquainted.

White would not give any details about the person of interest except to say the individual lived in the area west of Jefferson City and was older than Elizabeth.

Elizabeth had last been seen when she started walking home from a neighbor's house on Wednesday.

Police find the body of missing 9-year-old

ST. MARTINS, MO. -- Police found the body of 9-year-old who went missing Wednesday night.

Elizabeth Olten, a fourth grader from this rural Missouri area about 35 miles south of Columbia, was reported missing when she failed to return home from a friend’s.

The body was found miles near her home.

A written note by an unidentified person lead police to an person of interest. That person lead the police to Elizabeth's body.

Police have an older teen in custody.

The juvenile is local to the area and is not connected to the family.

There was search crew of 70 people was on the ground in addition to 70 law enforcement officers on Friday. Officials said the search will be more "pin-pointed and directed," than it was Thursday. Also, the Missouri Highway Patrol is using a helicopter with infrared imaging equipment to assist with the search.

When Olten was reported missing Wednesday evening just after 6 p.m., authorities learned that she had a cell phone with her.

Investigators worked with the phone carrier AT&T to send “pings” to the phone in an attempt to locate it. The “ping” put the cell phone in the woods behind Elizabeth’s home. However, by Thursday afternoon, the pings were no longer working. Police believe that the phone battery had died.

White also said the department has some phone records back from Elizabeth's cell phone and investigators are going through those.

This is just too much that a child killed a child.  I don't even know what to think right now.  I was really hoping they would find her.

Yes they received a note written by a juvenile which led them to another juvenile who took them to her body and is now in custody.

You have really been bustin your a$$ on this one Northern, thank you, such a sad outcome  ::MonkeyNoNo::

All I can say now is, give the family strength, and the person they have in custody...make this simple...do the right thing, and give your family closure too.

by yahoo maps Eugene, Mo is ~21 miles south-west. That is the town listed in the Topix posts from the childern of Jasmine.

Just saw this, poor Elizabeth. OMG, I was wondering this morning, and shoved it out of my mind, when some of those comments were posted from Jasmine's kids.  And thank you, I did have Vicki mixed up with mom  ::MonkeyConfused::

Missing St. Martins girl found dead
by Steve Walsh on October 23, 2009

in Crime & Courts

The search for a missing 9-year-old girl from St. Martins, near Jefferson City, ends in tragedy with the discovery of the body of Elizabeth Olten.

Police found the youngster’s body around 3 o’clock Friday afternoon. They were led to the body by a teenager who is described as a person of interest. The body was found in an area in which search crews had been looking for the missing child.


The girl had been reported missing from her home around 7 o’clock Wednesday evening after leaving a friend’s house. The youngster’s father, Dale Olten, Senior, is currently serving time in prison. But a family member says it is not believed the man criminal past is connected to the girl’s disappearance.

Good Afternoon Monkeys and Guest!

Oh my Dear Lord, how much sadder can this week get. My heart just breaks for all these precious children who are taken from this earth in such tragic ways. God Bless them all.

Northern Rose thank you for all you do to keep us updated. I wish I knew how to do the research that you do.   

I was in the somer thread and saw NR's post about Elisabeth, how awful  ::MonkeyWaa::.

Prays for you Elisabeth, I pray you find peace in heaven

This is so terribly sad....and to know that a juvenile is involved is  crushing. What in the hell is wrong in our world. So many children being murdered..........by strangers, by SO's, by parents and now by other children.

When I saw her picture I was drawn to her as my daughter looked very similar at the same age.  It is the worst outcome.  Now another child's life is also ruined along with their family.

Me too  ::MonkeyAngel::  I'm wondering girl or boy, did this to Elizabeth, I don't seem to see a reference to sex in the articles.

me, too  ::MonkeyNoNo::

An "older juvenile" suspect has been taken into custody. We're awaiting further details, tune into KSPR News at 4:30 for the latest.

http://www.kspr.com/news/local/65824587.html

What a double tragedy if it is one of her kids, not only is the mom missing but if one goes away to jail... just speculation of course.

Exatcly what I was going to say and ask.  This is beyond out of control.  ::MonkeyTears::

yes.

don't pull a Casey.

just tell the truth.

I bet dollars to donuts that this juvenile will be facing adult charges.

I've read alot of juvenile offenders....

Could be, they wanted her phone.
Could be, they were mad at their parents.
Could be, they just wanted to know what it felt like.
Could be, they saw her weaker then them.

I am thinking if they already have a letter, and have the person who has LEAD them to the body, that this should be a rather open shut case. Just hoping

BLOCKED VIDEO

ITA especially since it is an older teen

 ::MonkeyNoNo::

There are no words for this terrible crime. 

Oh NORTHERN, I knew this case really drew you. I am so sorry.  ::MonkeyTears:: ::MonkeyTears:: ::MonkeyTears::

what is elizabeth's mom's name?

they must've found her phone - the physical and written evidence.

Patricia (Patti) Preiss

Yes, they must have found her phone, my gosh she was only 9, so I would doubt this was anykind of boyfriend, matter of fact, we don't even know if it is a male or female that did this.

One of the articles stated that there was a note written to LE by a juvenile which lead them to the juvenile who did it.  The one who did it took LE  to her body.

thank you.

i was having a very hard time finding it.

Patricia (Patti) is Elizabeth's mom

This is just the worst week that I can think of, what in the world is going on, I cant believe another one has been found and now we hear another child is at fault, this is really screwed up......God Bless this Childs family and her too.......

I wonder if the friend she was visiting has an older brother?

Yes maybe and then the friend she was visiting told the police which led to the arrest of her brother, or even maybe a cousin. Or the person could also be another neighbor.

Very true, so sad, i will admit i am quick to assume it was a boy, and i could very well be wrong, especially given all the crimes recently being committed by women, but in younger children i just think a boy did it. i can only pray that she was not sexually abused as well  ::MonkeyWaa::

I was wondering if it is connected to the friends house as well.  Grandpa sends her home early, she never gets home.  Would make sense if the friend she was visiting wrote the letter to LE that connected them to the person who did it.

10 min ago - Juvenile in Custody in Olten Disappearance
The Cole County Sheriff's Department tells us - the body of 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten has been found. A juvenile is in custody, connected to the death. Authorities believe the juvenile knew of the family but was not directly connected to them. Elizabeth's cell phone was found, and investigators say hand written notes and other physical evidence lead them to the suspect. That suspect led them to Elizabeth’s body.

What a horrible week it has been. I am going to go take a breather and go meet my daughter at the school bus.

ST. MARTINS, MO. -- Police found the body of 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten who went missing Wednesday night.

The body was found near the wooden area of Elizabeth's home.

Physical evidence and written evidence led police to develop a person of interest. Police interviewed the person of interest, a older teen, who then led police to Elizabeth's body.

Police have the teen in custody. The teen lives in the area and is not connected to the family.

A search crew of 70 people was on the ground in addition to 70 law enforcement officers on Friday. Officials said the Friday morning search was more "pin-pointed and directed," than it was Thursday. Also, the Missouri Highway Patrol used a helicopter with infrared imaging equipment to assist with the search.

When Olten was reported missing Wednesday evening just after 6 p.m., authorities learned that she had a cell phone with her.

Investigators worked with the phone carrier AT&T to send “pings” to the phone in an attempt to locate it. The “ping” put the cell phone in the woods behind Elizabeth’s home. However, by Thursday afternoon, the pings were no longer working. Police believe that the phone battery had died.

White also said the department got some phone records back from Elizabeth's cell phone and investigators went through those.

A 24-hour tip line was established at (866) 362-6422. White said the tip line got calls overnight, but he wouldn't say if any leads have come from it

At the time she was reported missing, Olten was believed to be wearing a pink T-shirt with a darker pink vest and blue jeans with pink ribbons on them.

Elizabeth’s aunt, Vicki Olten, said during the search the family didn't believe that the 9-year-old wandered off on her own because the girl is afraid of the dark. She believes the fourth grader was abducted.

The response by local residents to help with the search was tremendous. On Thursday, 300 volunteers assisted 100 law enforcement personnel in a search of the area surrounding Olten’s home.

“We’ve done far more than the capability we’ve got,” White said Thursday. “And that’s simply because of the level of citizen involvement and they willingness (to help) they’ve had.”

So many volunteers showed up Thursday night that police started to turn them away, like Gene Bauer.

“We’ve got plenty of gravel roads in this area that could have been checked,” Bauer said. “The last thing I wanted to hear from somebody is, ‘Oh, we’ve got insurance concerns.’ Well, people aren’t out her concerned about insurance or liability. They’re out here concerned for that little girl.”

Cole County Sheriff's department worked with the Red Cross to get volunteers.

The strain of not knowing what happened to Elizabeth took its toll on family members.

“I want my niece home, I want her safe,” a tearful Vicki Olten said Thursday. “She’s a beautiful young girl and (has) a full life ahead of her. She does not deserve this. Her family does not deserve this.”

The family worked with the "Missouri Missing" organization to make pins and flyers to hand out.

Police did not issue an Amber Alert when Olten was reported missing because the law outlines specific conditions that must be met before an alert can be issued. Instead, an endangered person advisory was issued.

Without an Amber Alert status, there is no activation of the automatic warning system through television, radio or highway signs.

“We put this out to law enforcement all through the Region F area, which is a 13-county area, and of course, entered it into the NCIC, which covers the United States,” White said. “So the simple difference would be how much the average citizen would get on it.”

Wouldnt you have to clarify that the person is a suspect before you could determain even wether they will be charged, let alone as an adult or juvenille.... i know this person is a POI and they have to basically have all their ducks in a row before calling them a suspect and have their evidence but isnt it a lil premature to be making comments like that?

Not directly connected to the family, how old are Jasmin's children?

Thanks, would not say if person is a boy or a girl.

I'm still thinking about those comments posted earlier from one of Jasmine's children  ::MonkeyShocked::

Not sure how old they are.  But I would assume, and that is just me, that Jasmine's children would be connected because of Elizabeths dad. 

I think that this may be a kid/teen  who thought she had something they wanted...bullied her. Which went to far.
But then Again, the post in topix earlier was just toooo erie.

JUST speculation but sure seem like someone was saying...just see how we feel.

Thank you for all you have done for her and keeping us up to date, i will prolly see u this weekend, enjoy your fresh air and your daughter!  ::MonkeyKiss::

Exactly  ::MonkeyShocked::

I agree sure was hinky what they said, and their timing, and that there are older brothers...and that Eugene area is not all that far...

hugs, Northern Rose.

Northern rose, go take a breather and maybe a nice long bubble bath. This has been a rough week, just so heartbreaking and beyond words.

NRCG, I saw a pic of them with their mom, they seemed to be around ,8 9, 10 or so at the time? I dont' know when the pic was taken, had to be more then 2 years ago..I am not sure if they would be said to be an older teen?

Personally, from what I have read, when children kill, there really isnt a reason.  The only sure reason is, when they feel like they are being alienated from their parent that remarries.

Most children that kill, and then again, we dont know, but this person could be 16, 17..but most that kill, really dont have a reason.

If its not jealousy, its just pure evil thoughts they cant control, or they just dont have a reason.

Will be interesting for educational purposes to see why.

from digging through this myspace, http://www.myspace.com/findjasmine - I found a daughter, Nikki 30 - http://www.myspace.com/hotsvrider - and a son, Cody 19 http://www.myspace.com/haslag27 - 

Thanks, I have not seen a pic of them.  And I agree Northern Rose, take a rest and have a nice evening  ::MonkeyAngel::

Yes, it will be.

so maybe this whole time they were saying that it was not an abduction, they already had these "written peices of evidence" and were just trying to track down this POI and/or talk to them, and crack him/her.........

I gotta run some errands and head home ill check back in tonight, thanks for all of your help and updates, so sad  ::MonkeyNoNo:: my prayers are with everyone involved  ::MonkeyAngel::

The press conference is online here
http://www.ksdk.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=188125&catid=3

IIRC wasn't it posted back in this thread that Jasmine was like 32 yrs old and she went to pick her kids up at school? If that is true surely she doesn't have a daughter that is 30.

BLOCKED WEBSITE

This is a what if......A teenager hit her with a automobile driving on the hwy she was walking home on....freaked out and took her into the woods.

She was 32 when she went missing in June 17 2007.  She called the father of her children and her kids that she was going to be picking up the kids on the 18th and never showed up. Her mother filed a missing person report on 21st.  Police had found her car abandoned before the missing person report was filed and towed it as it was on private land.  It was abandoned on a bridge the opposite direction as the father of the kids house, the plates were pulled off.  Through the VIN number they determined that it was Jasmines.  She was to appear in court on June 18 and was out on a $50,000 bond for the drug bust with Dale Sr.

She was large for her age, 5'2 and over 108lbs.  If another teen took her into the woods I think they would have difficulty getting deep into the woods carrying/dragging her in there.  If they drove then the tracks would have been easy to follow as woudl any blood trail.

Missing 9-year-old Missouri girl found dead

KMOV)-- Authorities have found the body of the 9 year old missing since Wednesday.


They found the body of Elizabeth Olten around 2:30 p.m. Friday in a dense, wooded area not too far from the area they'd been searching.

Authorities were lead to her body by another child, who's now in custody and expected to be charged with Elizabeth’s death.

Cole County Sheriff Greg White said he started getting written and physical evidence late this morning. "There were some written notes a person had made that led us to that person of interest and that's all I’m going to say,” he said.

Sheriff White said because of the suspect's age he can't say much about him or her other than the child is older than 9-year-old Elizabeth and the pair knew each other. Most of the details of this case are being kept vague so as not to jeopardize the prosecution of the yet-to-be charged minor.

More than 350 people from the area helped in the effort to find Elizabeth the past couple of days.   The sheriff said moments after he was sure what happened he went to Elizabeth’s family's house.

While word got out about Elizabeth soon after she went missing, there never was an amber alert.

I was seeing something about that on another forum, also, a new poster on WS first post, and all it said, was 15 girl. So I don't know if this person was causing trouble or this person knows it was a girl that is 15.  Could very well be a teenager accidently hit her with the car and hid her body, but surely there would have been blood on the highway.

Sheriff White said because of the suspect's age he can't say much about him or her other than the child is older than 9-year-old Elizabeth and the pair knew each other.  ::MonkeyEek::  My mind keeps wondering to one of Jasmine's children  ::MonkeyNoNo::

Police find body of missing 9-year-old Mo. girl
By CHRIS BLANK (AP) – 31 minutes ago

ST. MARTINS, Mo. — The body of a missing 9-year-old Missouri girl was found in a wooded area near the state capital on Friday, two days after she was last seen walking from a neighbor's home, police said.

Cole County Sheriff Greg White said a juvenile, described only as a "person of interest," was taken into custody. The juvenile was acquainted with the girl, Elizabeth Olten, White said.

The sheriff not give any details on how Elizabeth died or about the juvenile in custody except to say that the person lived in the area west of Jefferson City and was older than the girl. Police said Elizabeth's body was found just before 3 p.m.

"We were able to obtain some physical evidence and through some analysis of some of the evidence and in all honesty some written evidence, we were able to develop a person of interest," White said. "Once we reached that person and interviewed them, ultimately they led us to where we've recovered Elizabeth's body."

Elizabeth was last seen when she started walking home from a neighbor's house on Wednesday evening. A woman who answered a family spokeswoman's phone Friday said Elizabeth's family had no immediate comment.

White said had spoken with Elizabeth's mother and said the family is "deeply grieving."

"I'm a parent, and I know how I would feel. I would simply leave it to you that they are grieving," he said.

Earlier Friday, about 70 people had searched for Elizabeth on horseback, with all-terrain vehicles and on foot while another 70 investigators checked leads, White said. Several hundred people had joined the search Thursday despite a steady rain and rough terrain.

Police focused their search area after they figured out roughly where Elizabeth's phone was located. White said the phone was later found but declined to say if it had turned up evidence.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol searched by helicopter with thermal imaging radar, and the Missouri State Water Patrol checked ponds in the area with sonar.

Highway Patrol Superintendent Col. James Keathley said he wishes the outcome was better.

"It's been quite an ordeal for the last few days. There's a lot emotions involved in this. It's been tough on everybody involved in this case," Keathley said.

David Schulte, who lives nearby, said Elizabeth typically would walk through his front yard about 30 or 40 feet away from the road on her way back home from the friend's house. Schulte said he didn't know Elizabeth well but that she had come through the neighborhood to sell cookie dough for a school fundraiser.

Schulte, who had helped with the search, said the area around where the phone was transmitting signals was about one-quarter of a mile away from the county highway and in the middle of the woods. He said it is easy to get turned around and difficult to hold straight search lines because the terrain is all "ridges and valleys" along with brambles.

"You'd have to want to be back there," said Schulte, before police announced that Elizabeth's body had been found.

Cole County Prosecutor Mark Richardson did not immediately return a call seeking comment Friday.

I know.  Especially after reading those messages left on Topix.  I really hope we are wrong.  I also know that if this is a juvenile and goes to school there will Eb two people not going into school Monday so the rumour mill will be flying on Monday in their little town about anyone that is not in school.

Marc Klass Knows Pain Cole County, MO Family Is Going Through

http://www.fox2now.com/ktvi-marc-klass-amber-alerts-102309,0,5959117.story

JEFFERSON CITY, MO (kcur) - A little girl from St. Martins,Mo., missing nearly two days has been found dead in a deep stand of woods. And an older boy has been arrested.
Elizabeth Olten told parents on a cell phone she was walking home from neighbors Wednesday late afternoon. She vanished. Electronics technicians were able to detect 'pings' from her phone for a time but they faded. The search had been joined by F.B.I. agents, Missouri Highway Patrol troopers and volunteers.


Search teams with dogs were in their second day of covering wooded terrain within a mile of the girl's home when, Sheriff Greg White of Cole County said, written and other evidence led then to a somewhat older boy, still a minor. And that boy led them to her body. Reporters questioned the sheriff after the discover of the girl's remains and the arrest. He said evidence teams were processing several areas. Asked to clarify the relationship between the child and the boy who was arrested, Sheriff White would only say---"they are acquainted."

Elizabeth Olten was 9 years old. Authorities asked prayers for her family, members of which were said to be 'deeply grieving.'

If this reporter is correct, then I hope beyond hope she was not molested.  I am not sure how this one reporter would get BOY when the rest of the media have no clue as White would not say.

The amber alert needs to change, everyone knows it, says it but it is not changed. So stupid!

That person who showed up on WS saying it was a 15 year old girl, is now on IS saying the same exact thing  ::MonkeyConfused::

i don't think an Amber would have helped her.

BUT, that said, cops said they didn't issue one because they were not sure there was foul play and, imo, that thinking was absolutely ridiculous.

I am off to take my little guy to the Haunted Hall in our village.

Something that Elizabeth and Somer should have gotten to do this Halloween.

Prayers to both families and will talk to you monkeys later.

What is IS?

Prayers to the family  ::MonkeyAngel::

I am sure you will enjoy your haunted hall and your son.

God Bless

Have a good time  ::MonkeyAngel::

I wonder, was the written evidence is a text message?

In Sessions forum.

I didn't quote my comment but it was in reaction to Marc Klaas's comment.

Good thinking   NRCG   I  did not think about blood on the road but it was raining heavily...Speaking of WS  they turned me down said my email was not good or something so I don't go over there....now I feel nosy and will have to see what they have to say.  ::MonkeyDevil2::

My heart goes out to the family and Elizabeth.  May you find strength to get through this and peace in your happy memories of Elizabeth you keep dear.

I'm a member, but I gave up posting there for over a year, there rules are too strict.

TY.  If that one reporter is correct and it is a Boy and he is tried as an adult he could be facing Dale Sr and Dale Jr in jail.
