Father of missing Alaska barista Samantha Koenig increases reward
By Katie Wiggin
February 6, 2012

(CBS/AP) ANCHORAGE, Alaska. - The father of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig, who police say was abducted at gunpoint from her espresso stand says the reward for information that leads to her safe return has grown to $41,000. James Koenig had originally been offering a $12,500 reward.
 ::snipping2::
Surveillance video captured a man wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt somehow getting into the coffee stand, police say. He appears to be armed and it seems he forces Koenig to leave with him on foot, heading east.

ABC news reports all of the coffee stand's cash was also missing.

Police have not released the video, which is causing frustration for concerned Anchorage residents who want help finding the young woman. However, police say releasing it wouldn't help solve the case.

"If his face was shown, don't you think that would have been the first thing out of our mouths? 'Look at this video! Who is this man?' " Lt. Dave Parker, a police spokesman, said.
 ::snipping2::
Detectives were working leads on Sunday, he said. But police lost valuable time early on. The coffee stand reported Koenig as missing around noon of the next day. By the time police suspected an abduction, snow had covered up tracks and scents, Parker said.

Thanks MuffyBee for this update.  Sometimes I just don't understand LE . . . but I do have faith in them, generally.

Wait a sec....snow covers scents?  Really?

And, as far as the video goes...maybe it doesn't show his face, but what about his mannerisms and body movements.  Those might be familiar to someone.

I was wondering the same thing KittyMom.  I'm wondering if there's more to the viideo then LE wants to let on.  Maybe his face isn't shown, but I hope maybe there's something else they see and don't want to release because they're still developing a lead.  I hope that's the case, anyway.

This site gives an idea of the difference between a scent dog and a trailing dog.

http://southwestvak9sarteam.webs.com/scentandsardogs.htm

Okay, from my understand, hot, windy weather causes scents to evaporate quickly.  A light rain can refreshen a scent trail.  So, wouldn't it make sense that snow would 'freeze' the trail?  Why not give the dogs a shot at tracking her?  What would it hurt at this point?

I really think they are withholding the video for other reasons.  I am holding onto the hope that the perp still has her and she is alive.

Samantha Koenig's Mother and Grandmother Ask For Her Return

 ::snipping2::
by Abby Hancock Channel 2 News

10:56 a.m. AKST, February 6, 2012
Anchorage, Alaska—
As the search for Samantha Koenig continues, the family is focusing on getting the word out, any way they can. Samantha's mother, Darlene Christiansen, said on Monday, that the past five days have been a nightmare for her family. She says all she wants is to have Samantha safe and back home.

"I feel like somebody has ripped the life out of me... It's undescribable," says Christiansen. " It could be a stranger, it's the not knowing."

I wish LE would announce whether CB has been cleared or not. If he is completely innocent, loosing his job isn't very fair, imo. With the past charges, I can see why he is suspect #1. But if he has nothing to do with anything and has proven that to LE they should announce that so we can move on to other suspects rather than wrecking CB's life.

absolutely...that is why I didn't want to post too much about him...a lot of people are saying that he was with them that night...so I don't know.  But, for obvious reasons he is being looked at.  I'm sure we will know soon.

Police seek public help in finding barista

KIDNAPPED: Police canvass area; volunteers spread out across city.

By MICHELLE THERIAULT BOOTS
Anchorage Daily News

Published: February 7th, 2012 10:12 AM
Last Modified: February 7th, 2012 05:30 PM

 ::snipping2::

Less than two months before police say she was kidnapped, Samantha Koenig filed a request for a restraining order saying she was in "fear of death of physical injury" from Bird after he had allegedly sexually assaulted her.

In the civil protective order request, filed Nov. 15, Koenig wrote that she was at Bird's Anchorage home when he tried to force himself on her. He then allegedly sexually assaulted her, she wrote.


She requested the 20-day sexual assault civil protective order but, according to the file, left a hearing before the magistrate heard the matter. The order was not issued.

Bird was never charged with a crime and it's unclear whether Koenig ever reported the alleged assault to the police.

When asked about the November allegations against Bird, Parker, the police spokesman, said he was unable to comment because of a law that bars police officials from identifying victims of sexual assault.

Butler said there was nothing to the allegation.

Bird, meanwhile, was in court Monday on another matter stemming from a January allegation of an assault on a bouncer at the Anchor Bar in downtown Anchorage. The charge was dismissed Monday because there wasn't enough evidence to point to an assault, said municipal prosecutor Cindy Franklin.

Reached by phone Monday, Bird said that he was "mentally exhausted and stressed" and concerned that his name was being ruined.

FBI assists police in search for abducted Anchorage barista


http://www.adn.com/2012/02/07/2305513/fbi-assists-search-for-abducted.html

Published: February 8th, 2012 07:47 AM
Last Modified: February 8th, 2012 07:48 AM

Surveillance video reveals a young woman abducted nearly a week ago in Anchorage appeared frightened by the man who took her, a detective supervising the investigation said Tuesday.
 ::snipping2::

In an interview Tuesday, police said the alarmed reaction by Samantha Koenig, 18, to a man who approached the Midtown coffee hut where she was working indicates the abductor was carrying a weapon. Police continued to reveal little else about a video or collection of videos that captured the apparent abduction.

Authorities have refused to make the clips or still photos from them public, saying doing so would compromise the investigation and would not reveal enough to help people identify the abductor.

  ::snipping2::
Detectives say surveillance video from multiple cameras shows the man, wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt, walk up to the Common Grounds coffee shack in the parking lot of the Alaska Club at 630 E. Tudor Road. The footage is too dark to tell what color hoodie the man wore, police said.

It was just before 8 p.m., near closing time. The taller man somehow entered the coffee stand and forced the 5-foot-5, 140-pound Koenig to leave with him. The video shows the pair walk out of frame, headed west, police say.

Earlier police reports that they walked east were incorrect, police spokesman Lt. Dave Parker said Tuesday, adding there was no getaway vehicle seen in the video.
