// Michelle Knight Speaks //

Freedom from Hell, Re-entering Life, Forgive but not Forget.


Michelle Knight Speaks, and is heard.

Right now all across the country words of praise and strength are being spoken about a very brave and strong woman. Her name is Michelle Knight. Eleven years ago, when she was abducted off the street just blocks from her home, the Internet was still young and campaigns to find the missing were small and unorganized. As computers became more affordable and the Internet seemed endless sites popped up all over to help locate the missing. Whether children or adults, abducted or runaway it didn't matter. In 2005 my best friend Kris and I created one of those very sites. Our site, From Whispers to Roars, was and still is unique. We posted all missing from the 1930's to present. The circumstances of how the person became missing didn't matter. If you weren't home you were posted. There are many things that made FWTR original and my regular readers know them. But I'm not here to focus on the site. I'm here about one individual young woman who was posted on our site.

Her name is Michelle Knight. And I'm here to talk about Michelle and the Demon she no longer has to deal with, Ariel Castro. The Sexual Predator who abducted her by mentioning he knew her through his children.

We now know how many pedophiles operate. The ploys they use with children and teens and yes even adults. Sadly those of us who post online "How to protect your family from pedophiles." gave them many of their ideas on how to get around these directions that were meant to protect and use them for their own gain. We shouldn't feel guilty. We were seriously trying to protect people and not hurt them. I didn't realize we were doing this until I found out my own husband was using my words and posts to get away with molesting our oldest daughter for 4 years.

I will continue posting and will also add new ways to protect our families with this new knowledge I have acquired. I will never stop and hope that what I write will save others.

Now to Michelle. I watched you along with most of America stand tall and speak from your heart. And I was proud. Why you ask. Because I was one of many who listed you as missing and every year on the anniversary of your disappearance moved your story to the top for all to see. You were never alone Michelle and never forgotten. The missing community is a tight group. We pray together and cry together. Whether they are happy tears like on the day you, Gina  and Amanda were found alive. Or when one of our missing is found dead. No matter the circumstances you were never alone and always loved. I hope you read this and know I'm speaking the truth and find some comfort from it.

The missing become part of our daily lives and part of our family. You Michelle have a huge family out there you just didn't know it. Now that you do you can turn to us for comfort, a hug or even a prayer. All you have to do is ask and we are there for you. Things don't stop or change when your found. You are apart of our lives forever now. And I felt blessed because of how strong you are. You proved it when faced with giving the victim impact statement and you didn't back down or show fear standing in the same room as that animal Castro. You did us all proud and I will never forget seeing you there. You spoke of how what happened didn't define who you are or who you will be. And how his hell is just beginning. How you will forgive what happened but will never forget. I was totally in awe. You are sweet and beautiful and strong. No one can ever take that from you. No one.

So when you go to sleep tonight know that your actions have helped others in your situation. You have made others strong who thought they couldn't be just by seeing you do it. You are an inspiration and always will be. Bless you Michelle Knight. We know God already has blessed us with you. You are a Hero.

// Our Hero's //

There are people all over the world who do amazing things for their communities everyday and no one even knows it. Until organizations like the Detroit Pistons bring a group from their State to the forefront. They ask the public to help reward one who they feel has gone above and beyond the rest to make a positive difference for Michigan. 

There are 10 people nominated by friends, neighbors or someone who's life was forever changed by one of these special people and then the public casts their votes on who they feel should win. 

It is a 2 tier process to determine who will be the finalists for the grand prize. First the top 10 nominees are listed along with a brief description of what they have done to be a part of this special group of people. And through public voting the top 3 are then chosen.

Once they are reviled the public again can chose between them to find the grand prize winner.

Your probably wondering why I am posting this and yes it's a good reason.  

A person I consider a special friend, whom I call my brother because our work is similar and brought us together, is nominated.



His name is Jamie Jones. He began the Missing You Foundation which is a proactive group of people who not only list missing people but actively search for them all over Michigan. 

Jamie has worked non stop to help bring other's loved ones home, despite paying for everything himself to the point of eating PB&J every night, he never takes a penny from the families. I've known him to go without the things you and I count on like Internet, phones and yes even electric just so he could help others.

His wonderful wife Marsha supports him 100% and helps him with his work as well. She keeps his spirit up when investigations aren't going well. She celebrates with him when he finds the person he was looking for alive. She cries with him when they are found deceased. 

Jamie takes every case personally, like many of us in the Missing/Abducted community. His selfless acts inspire many around him to also try and help in anyway they can.

// JonBenet Ramsey's Murder //

First the Grand Jury documents pertaining to JonBenet Ramsey's murder were released today. They wanted to indict her Parents John and Patsy Ramsey for child neglect and endangerment. The Colorado Grand Jury felt they didn't kill their daughter BUT knew who did.


"Maria", the little girls found last week in Greece with 2 people has been identified using DNA. Her mother is in Bulgaria. "Sasha Ruseva, a 35-year-old Bulgarian Gypsy, or Roma, said she gave birth to the girl, called Maria, four years ago while working as an olive picker in Greece." This case is still under investigation. 

And out of NYC Avonte Oquendo, the 14-year-old autistic boy has been missing since Oct. 4 when he walked out of his Queens school. NYPD fears he won't be found alive. The boys father is pleading with the public to please help and don't give up looking for Avonte.


And last but not least a Texas woman charged with hurting son, 6, then trying to repair genitals by using glue. An FBI complaint charges the 34-year-old San Antonio woman with assault within maritime and territorial jurisdiction resulting in serious bodily injury. The mother, who was arrested Wednesday, remains in custody pending a bail hearing Monday in federal court in San Antonio. She apparently attacked her little boy and ripped his genitals and then tried to hide it with super glue. Thank God his father noticed something was wrong and rushed him to the hospital.

// Help Find Heather Elvis //


Findheatherelvis
March 20 at 10:24am · 
It has been 15 months, 15 long and pain filled months, the agony of not having our daughter Heather with us is still as unbearable as it was that first night after knowing something was wrong. Nights are still filled with nightmares if sleep does come, daylight brings new questions and very few answers. We continue to struggle with the inability to understand the reasons for this length of time without someone stepping up and telling what they know. We still struggle to understand why people who know nothing of our family can pen the wildest accusations day after day and think nothing of it. We still struggle to find our daughter Heather and to find the justice for actions of those who are responsible. We continue to pray when prayers seem to go unanswered but all the while knowing that prayer is answered in His time not ours. We struggle to understand how a person or persons can be so cruel and heartless as to allow a family to suffer and search for answers and still hold their tongue and say nothing. We still struggle to understand how nameless people hide behind a keyboard and spew the most vile ideas they can come up with in their sick and twisted minds and still sleep at night. Those same nameless people who claim to be trying to help us find our daughter Heather are able to justify their actions in their minds but God only knows how or why and we struggle to understand why God does not strike them down for the level of ungodly actions they have done. Yes, we struggle and we struggle every second of every day, looking for answers and trying to keep our lives intact. We continue to ask God for His blessings and His wisdom so that we might find the path to answers.
Evil walks among us and scoffs at the situation but truth and justice will triumph over wickedness and deception in the end. There can be no rest for our family until we have our daughter Heather and the whole story is revealed by those who hold back the truth.
Those who under false names and fake identities seek to disrupt the search for truth by way of slander and character assassination only bring upon themselves disgrace and ridicule, the ones who hide their names only reveal their cowardice and lack of credibility. Darkness is always revealed in the light and the light is getting brighter by each day that passes. Our family will stand united as always and will be under the authority of God, we will weather the storm. We will find the answers and we will know the truth because our God is a mighty God and transgressions against His people do not go unpunished.
Heather, wherever you are, you are not alone, you are not forgotten and you are loved and missed dearly. We will never give up and we will never stop searching for you and the truth, for as long as there is a heartbeat in our bodies there will be a mission in our hearts. Not a single hour passes that you are not on our minds and in our hearts.
To those who continue to harass and stalk our family, make no mistake in your thoughts that your actions have any bearing on our family, make no mistake in thinking that your actions are immune from consequence and make no mistake by thinking that you are unknown.....
God grant us the wisdom to understand your whispers, grant us the peace we seek in our hearts and trouble the hearts and minds of those who hold the answers so that they might gain relief only by speaking the truth and proclaiming your name, make heavy the hearts of those who speak vile and evil words in order to distract from the truth and make the words they speak so painful that to even think the thoughts would bring them to their knees and cry out your name for peace. In your wisdom and in your mercy there is life, Lord if this be your will and in your Holy plan we ask that you hear and answer our prayers.

Amen
