12 Year Old Autumn Pasquale Missing in Clayton, NJ Since 10/20/12(Body Found)

[texasmom]

What gets me is the following ...

She rides her bike from her home at 12:30 PM on Saturday and yet not reported missing until 9:30 PM. Are you telling me that no one confirmed where she was for 9 hrs by either cell phone or text?

Where was she supposed to be going when she left the house? Wouldn't whose ever house she was going to called her house to ask where she was?

I mean folks, she is 12 years old, not 22. No one knew where their pre-teen was for 9 hours? That to me is shocking in this day and age.

It gets me too Red, I can't imagine!

That is what is bothering me too Red. I have a 12 yr old and a 10 yr old granddaughter and when they are visiting me, They have to be in my sight at all times. We rode our bikes and would be away from home for hrs, but times were way different back then. And my parents always knew where to find me. But I never went alone.

[darla]

How far is this park from her home?

Darla,  the park is approx. 2.8 miles from the street she lives on.  (W. High St.)

Thank you Babs, I hadn't heard what street she lived on. Geesh that is a long way . Praying this little girl is found safe, but my gut is telling me this is not going to turn out well.

Yes, I too rode my bike all day, but that was back in the stone ages in much different times. Although, I rode my bikes with friends. It was like the Huffy/Schwinn version of Hell's Angels. Heck, we used to do alot of things that just would never even be a consideration today.

Parents ... WAKE THE HELL UP, THERE ARE PREDATORS OUT THERE JUST WAITING FOR THEIR OPPORTUNITY. Please know where you children are. There is no reason not to, ever 6 year old now has a cell phone.

I really am praying for the best, but this one is starting to resemble the last case of the little girl walking by herself to meet friends in the park to head off to school. Hate to say it.

[darla]

There are a lot of unanswered questions that has my brain scrambled. I guess after 7 years of  following these stories and praying for these kids I guess I am just more aware of what is going on in our communities. I see young girls out walking at night and want to stop and tell them to get their behinds home.

FBI joins search for missing South Jersey girl, 12

http://www.philly.com/philly/business/breaking/20121022_FBI_joins_search_for_missing_South_Jersey_girl__12.html

The FBI has joined a round-the-clock search or a missing 12-year-old Clayton, Gloucester County, girl last seen Saturday afternoon.

About 40 officers took part in Sunday's search, including members of the county's Emergency Response Team.
 
Pasquale was wearing navy blue sweatpants, a yellow "Clayton Soccer" T-shirt, bright blue high-top sneakers, and backpack with "Reckless" written on it. She was riding a white, Odyssey BMX bike.
 
Her father, Tony Pasquale, told reporters he believes his daughter was heading to a friend's house. He became worried when he discovered she never made it there.
 
"This is not like her," Pasquale told news crews. "She would have been home 11 o'clock this morning (Sunday) if she slept over a friend's house.

"Everybody is working together to try to find her," he said. "We all love her and we just want her to come home."

Authorities continue search for missing Clayton girl
8:42 AM, Oct. 22, 2012 

CLAYTON — A widespread search for a missing Gloucester County girl who went missing over the weekend continues at this hour.

Autumn Pasquale, 12, left her West High Street home around 12:30 p.m. Saturday on a white BMX bicycle. Her family reported her missing around 9:30 p.m. the same day after she did not return home.

When she left her house, Pasquale did not say where she was going.

Officers from Clayton initially started searching for her, only to be joined on Sunday by other agencies. County officials activated its county-wide “Child Abduction Response Team” – a coordinated effort by the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office which relies on the resources of personnel and equipment from various local law enforcement agencies under the direction of county detectives.

Autumn Pasquale Missing: Authorities searching for 12-year-old New Jersey girl

(CBS) CLAYTON, N.J. - New Jersey State Police are asking for the public's help in their search for Autumn Pasquale, a missing 12-year-old girl who disappeared from her father's home in Clayton, New Jersey on Saturday, CBS Philly reports.

Pasquale was last seen leaving her home on Saturday  at 1:30pm on a white BMX Odyssey bike.

"When you wake up in the morning and your daughter's still not home, it's time to panic," said Autumn's mother Jenn Cornwall, "I don't know who she was supposed to meet up with. She just left and said she was meeting a friend."

She communicated with her mom by phone about 15 minutes after she left the home. Cornwall says they briefly texted back and forth.

Family, friends and neighbors have been searching for Pasquale since her father reported her missing around 9:30pm on Oct. 20. Clayton Police were joined by the Gloucester County Child Abduction Response Team of K-9 units and officers and firefighters from surrounding towns. The FBI is also involved in the search, and New Jersey State Police helicopter has searched the area.

Autumn's father, Tony Pasquale, said his daughter would not have left on her own.

"The police expressed runaway," he said. "I totally disagree with that, because it's not her at all. She's responsible, respectful. She's a good girl."

Public awareness. 

Because I have three kids spread apart over many years I know from experience MANY parents are completely oblivious to the dangers out there.  They are unaware of the growing epidemic of predators amongst us.  We're bombarded with information about health, food, advertising, politics, and sports but this issue is largely ignored.

For those folks who don't watch tv or read the news it is easy for them to just not understand the danger posed to our children and the importance of proactively protecting them.

There must be a better way to reach these parents.  Some person or organization who has acces to the funding should initiate a campaign about this issue IMO.

$10,000 reward in Autumn Pasquale case (PHOTOS)
Updated at 02:21 PM today

CLAYTON, N.J. - October 22, 2012 (WPVI) -- A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the whereabouts of 12-year-old Autumn Pasquale, of Clayton, New Jersey, who has been missing for two days.

Autumn's parents appeared at a news conference with Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean Dalton on Monday afternoon. They did not speak, but wanted to be there to offer support.
Dalton announced the $10,000 reward in this case. Half of the money was raised by the family and it was matched by the prosecutor's office.

Dalton also said investigators have conducted 75 interviews, including Autumn's friends and family. He said the Child Abduction Response Team (CART) has been activated, they have pulled records of every registered sex offender in the area and they are looking at surveillance video from around town.

Autumn went for a bike ride around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday and hasn't been seen since. However, Dalton confirmed that Autumn sent a text message from her cell phone at 2:27 p.m. that day. He did not say what was in that message.

Police say she was wearing blue sweatpants over blue shorts, a yellow t-shirt with "Clayton Soccer" on front and bright high top sneakers. She was last seen riding a 20" BMX Odyssey bicycle on West High Street.

Her family reported her missing at 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

Pasquale, who is one week away from turning 13, has blonde hair with pink highlights, stands about 5'2" tall and weighs 120 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Clayton Police at (856) 881-2301 or the NJSP Missing Persons Unit at 800-709-7090.

 ::snipping2::

The FBI, NJ State Police and the Gloucester County Prosecutor's office are among the agencies now involved.

"We haven't ruled out any theory as to whether this is a runaway or abduction. We're continuing to track down leads," said Dalton.

K-9s and crews on horseback searched a wooded area in Wiliamstown where, police say, the girl's cell phone signal was picked up.

On Monday morning, authorities asked those who want to help to stick to handing out flyers and not go into the woods so as not to destroy evidence or add new scents.

Both police and family members believe Pasquale's cell phone is now turned off.

"I just got off the phone and her mailbox is now full," Spadafora, told Action News on Sunday night.

Relatives say they have reason to believe the girl could've ventured to the area of Scotland Run Park. They spent Sunday searching those grounds.

Police in Gloucester County have used a helicopter and bloodhounds in their search, which included a bike trail that connects Clayton with Williamstown.
