Amber alert for 10-Year-Old Iowa Girl

Friday, March 25, 2005

 

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Law enforcement officials were searching early Friday for a 10-year-old Cedar Rapids (search) girl who was abducted from her home.

 

A statewide Amber alert (search) was issued late Thursday after Jetseta Marrie Gage (search) was taken from her mother's house by Roger P. Bentley (search), described by police as a family acquaintance.

 

Bentley took the child about 8:15 p.m. and left in a pickup truck.

 

Police don't have a lot to go on because most of the information is coming from the girl's 7-year-old brother, said Cedar Rapids police Lt. Kelly Fitzpatrick

 

"The grandmother and children were there. The grandmother was looking out for them and that the acquaintance took the 10-year-old without permission," Fitzpatrick said Friday.

 

Police don't know why Bentley took the child or where they may be headed, he said.

 

"Believe me, we've been hitting a lot of leads to try and find her," Fitzpatrick said.

 

He said investigators were still trying to determine how Bentley took the child.

not good, I hope they find her really soon.

I'm not certain because I didn't catch the whole thing but I thnk they caught Bentley. He was the man they were looking for with the Amber Alert. I don't think they found the girl yet. :cry

 

All we can do is remain alert &

KCRG-TV reports a body has been found. No reports if it's her, but not a whole lot of bodies are found real often in Iowa. The body was "possibly a young female". The Amber alert has been cancelled.

Bentley has now been charged with child stealing.

haha no there aren't a lot of bodies found in Iowa. But In all seriousness, this is very sad. I just don't understand why anyone would do this sort of thing.
