We could learn a lot from crayons...

some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all exist very nicely in the same box.

I am praying for you too.  I feel you are still alive and someone has you.  They think they love you more than your parents but they are selfish and dont want to give you up.  Praying for God to talk to their hearts and return you to your parents.

I have been checking here every chance I get.  Please, God, let this child come home.

I can't help but think how most of the children I know who have disabilities are so drawn to the water.   

Is Tim coming?

Dolce, was I hallucinating about you wearing a different outfit looking beautiful today?

I do not believe that Tim was called in on this one, I have given TES's information and contact information to several individuals high up in CCSO as well as to the grandmother of Adji.  (She was most concerned of what it would cost and was shocked when I told her that he did it as a volunteer type thing.)  I am going to assume he has not yet been called as they do not believe that Adji is out in the eliments, but rather has been snatched away.

To give some insight on where this community is located, it is near the corner of 2 main backroad highways, both are traveled most by truckers, and this community thrives on their agriculture and casino, so its heavily traveled by truckers for loads of produce as well as the many different people who frequent the casino.  (I know an odd mix)  This is not a gated community, but it looks more like what some would consider "slums", it is government housing and I think that should pretty much sum it up.

The 2 girls who last noticed Adji said he was walking away from the group by himself, the girls noticed him no more after that.

(Yes Bearly I did change my outfit briefly, then realized it looked pixeled due to it being taken with my friends camera phone - not the best photos)

All of this news is somewhat older, but given the events of yesterday with the "changing of the guard", our news stinks......



IMMOKALEE: The week-long search for a missing Immokalee boy is entering a new phase.


The Collier County Sheriff's Office is ending its ground search for 6-year-old Adji Desir.

At 1:00 p.m. Sunday, deputies say they will break down the mobile command unit set up in Immokalee's Farm Worker Village since Adji was last seen there January 10.


"The search is not over. It's just changing its method of operation. We've searched the ground now. We need to search information," says CCSO Lt. Tom Smith.


A task force with officers from the sheriff's office, FBI and Florida Department of Law Enforcement will take over the investigation into Adji's disappearance, following up on sightings and tips from the public.


Fliers and media coverage, including air time on America's Most Wanted and Nancy Grace, have generated more than 200 tips.

None of the information turned into significant leads for investigators.

Authorities still don't know if Adji was abducted or just wandered off while playing outdoors.


The reward for information that leads to Adji's return is $33,000.

If you'd like to help get the word out about Adji you can print out flyer on your own computer by visiting the Collier County website www.colliersheriff.org.

Florida-3 Airboat Search and Rescue Team Assists in Search for Missing Immokalee Boy

TAMPA, FL, January 21, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fifteen members of the Florida-3 Airboat Search and Rescue Team, accompanied by members of the Tampa Bay Search and Rescue Team, assisted the Collier County Sheriff's Department in a 7-day search for six-year old Adji Desir.

The two teams equipped with airboats, all-terrain vehicles, a 6-wheel amphibious unit, side-scan sonar, underwater video cameras, two-way radio communications, satellite mapping and search dogs expended over 750 man-hours in the search.

During the weeklong search, FL-3, under the leadership of Captain Kevin Roderiques and the Tampa Bay Search and Rescue Team searched lakes, canals, marshes, woodlands, farmlands and pastures for any trace of Adji Desir.

Utilizing an amphibious unit, side-scan sonar and underwater cameras, FL-3's marine unit searched 1,500 acre Lake Trafford for the missing boy, while the Tampa Bay Search and Rescue team, other members of the FL-3 Team assisted the Collier County Sheriff's Department deputies in a ground-search on foot, and utilizing all-terrain vehicles.

After an exhausting seven days, with no stone left unturned and many areas having been searched, re-searched and re-searched again, by both humans and scent dogs, the Collier County Sheriff's Department suspended the ground search on Saturday, January 17th pending further developments.

Should further leads develop and assistance is needed, Florida-3 Airboat Search and Rescue is prepared and willing to respond.

Reward to find missing 6-year-old boy


Posted on Friday, 01.23.09
The FBI is contributing $10,000 to the reward being offered for information leading to the recovery of a missing 6-year-old boy who might be in the Miami area, authorities said Friday.

Adji Desir was last seen Jan. 10 playing outside his house in Immokalee. He was wearing a blue-and-yellow T-shirt, blue-and-yellow shorts and black-and-gray sneakers.

Adji is mentally disabled and functions at a 2-year-old level, with very limited vocabulary.

The Collier County Sheriff's Office and Crime Stoppers of Southwest Florida have offered $13,000, bringing the total reward to $23,000.

The FBI has assigned agents to assist with the investigation and deployed the FBI Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team, several behavioral analysis experts, polygraph support and victim witness assistance resources.

Anyone with information should contact the Collier County Sheriff's Office at 239-793-9300, the Tampa FBI office at 866-838-1153 (toll free) or the Miami FBI office at 305-944-9101.

I have mentioned several times on this thread that there has been NO MENTION of Adjir on our local news here in South Florida. If it were not for Dolce's posts -- I would not have heard about this.

I heard the first mention yesterday on the 6 oclock news.

It was mentioned that LE thought there was a 'possibility' he might be here in Miami.

The only Haitian population larger than Miami is in Haiti. There is an area of Miami known as 'little Haiti' -- and they JUST got around to mentioning it and showing Adji's picture.

January 23rd -- the first mention of this missing child in our area on mainstream TV news.(I would not be aware if there are special tv or radio stations that cater to our Haitian community in patois).

We are less than a 2 hour drive from the area he went missing from -- we have the second largest Haitian population in the world -- and they have shown this story only twice -- both times yesterday January 23.

This was a fundamental ERROR in strategy, imo.  Who is in charge of this case? Local LE? FBI?

This baby is gone for 2 weeks before there is even a mention on the Miami news 

I fear the outcome for this child
