I cleaned a house with my daughter, holly today..she said..'momma'...and i went into another room and shed a few tears...I thought of how sweet and precious hearing that word is...and it always will be. I instantly thought of how precious it would be to hear Heather say..'momma' again..and i told Holly of my thoughts. Haven and Nathanael say..'mom'...and now my heart aches for my brother. i know what he would give to hear his Sueann say.."Diddy'...I am home!!" I told Holly that it would be so nice to have a home that could have a 'decorating' theme...ours is full of...Where is Heather? Our lives aren't like many...we spend our days and our nights wondering where our Heather is and we will until we know. And now, Danny and Sandy spend their days wondering where Sueann is. I wonder how many people know how precious life is...when they know where all of 'theirs' is. I wonder how life will be when we do know. I wonder still if Heather was still screaming at 8 p.m. that August 26, 1995 night...after...And I wonder why nobody heard Sueann screaming...and I wonder where she is. Our days aren't carefree as most of yours are. We don't know where one of ours is....and nothing is the same anymore.......

Two Women Missing From One Family

11Alive has done a special show tonight that includes Heather and SueAnn. You can see the live feed from the link below.
The search for a missing mother from Woodstock has family members feeling a sense of deja vu.
26-year-old Sueann Ray was last seen six weeks ago on the 10th anniversary of her cousin’s disappearance in Kentucky.
On August 26, 1995, Heather Teague was abducted from a beach in Spottsville, Ky., in broad daylight.
She was 23 years old at the time and has not been seen since.
Her case remains unsolved .
"You never know the pain a mother and father go through when they lose a child or a child is missing until it happens to you," said Danny Jenkins.
Jenkins has spent years helping his sister deal with the disappearance of her daughter, Heather.
Now he’s in the same situation.
His daughter, Sueann, has been missing since August 26. She disappeared ten years to the day after her cousin’s abduction here.
“It's a feeling you can't describe,” Jenkins said. “It's terrible, and I don't know how my sister made it. I don't know how she's alive. I don't know how she's done it for 10 years, because I can't. I can't go through it for 10 years, I'll tell you that."
Sueann, who was a teenager when her cousin disappeared, recently sent an e-mail to her aunt.
“I am sure that I can help,” Sueann wrote. “I will do anything I can. I picture this happening in my head, and it doesn’t make sense…Something is definitely wrong…We will bring her home, one way or another.”
Three days after sending that e-mail, Sueann also disappeared.
Police suspect foul play, but they haven’t identified any suspects.
"I just have to keep hope that she is alive,” said Sandy Chasm, Sueann’s sister. "I want her home so I can talk to her."
Relatives are hoping at least one family mystery will be solved soon.
Anyone with information about Sueann Ray’s disappearance, is asked to call the Georgia Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-597-TIPS.
Her family is offering a $105,000 reward for information that leads to finding her

Heather Teague's Cousin Also Missing

In August, we told you about the tenth anniversary of the disappearance of Heather Teague from Newburgh Beach. And now, one of Heather's relatives has also vanished.
Police suspect foul play in the disappearance of 26-year-old Sue Ann Ray of Woodstock, Georgia. Ray is the first cousin of Heather Teague, and strangely enough, she too was missing on the tenth anniversary of Heather's disappearance. We get that story from Jennifer Leslie out of the NBC affiliate in Atlanta.
For six weeks now, Sandy Chasm has worked nonstop to try to get the word out about her sister's disappearance, hoping anyone with information will come forward. "I just keep hoping that she's still alive, keeps me strong."
Sue Ann Ray disappeared on August 26th, a Friday, after she went to her estranged husband's home in Jasper. Quinton Ray told police she was there to get an oil change in the shop he runs out back and she left that evening. No one has seen or heard from her since.
Sgt. Dan King of the Woodstock Police Department says, "Based on the fact that it's out of character for her to be gone for such a long period of time, without talking to her family and friends, we think there's more to it than just a missing person."
Three days after Ray disappeared, police found her mini van abandoned in the Walmart parking lot in Canton. Someone backed it into the spot and left it there.
Sandy tells us, "It was backed in perfectly straight. No way she backed in - no way."
Woodstock police say the mini van is a maroon 1998 Ford Windstar. Police have interviewed Ray's family members and friends, but they have not identified any suspects.
Sandy says, "It's been horrible, a nightmare, like a bad dream and you don't wake up." Perhaps the hardest part, she says, is explaining Ray's disappearance to her six-year-old daughter. "She misses her mom, wants mom back and doesn't understand why we can't find her."
Family members are hoping a new $100,000 reward will be the key to solving this case.
Sarah Teague told us there has been some movement in the investigation to find out what happened to her daughter. And she hopes to be able to share that information in the near future.
There have been no arrests in either case.

Missing Cousin Vowed To Find Heather Teague

The strange case of two missing cousins is haunting families in both Kentucky and Georgia. On Wednesday, we told you about 26-year-old Sue Ann Ray of Woodstock, Georgia who vanished this past August on the tenth anniversary of Heather Teagues' disappearance from a Kentucky beach. Sue Ann Ray and Heather Teague are first cousins.
Now we hear about an email sent to Heather's mother just before her niece disappeared. Jennifer Leslie with our NBC affiliate in Atlanta, has the story.
The family of Sue Ann Ray of Woodstock has lived with the unknown for years. On August 26, 1995, Ray's first cousin, Heather Teague, was abducted from a beach in Kentucky in broad daylight. She was 23 at the time and has not been seen since. Her case remains unsolved.
Danny Jenkins has spent years helping his sister deal with her daughter's disappearance and now he's in the same situation. "You never know the pain a mother and father go through when they lose a child, or a child is missing, until it happens to you."
Jenkins' daughter, Sue Ann, has been missing for six weeks, since August 26th. She disappeared ten years to the day after her cousin's abduction. Jenkins says, "It's a feeling you can't describe. It's terrible, and I don't know how my sister made it. I don't know how she's alive. I don't know how she's done it for ten years, 'cause I can't. I can't go through it for ten years, I'll tell you that."
Sue Ann, who was a teenager when her cousin disappeared, recently sent an e-mail to her aunt. In it, she wrote:
"I am sure that I can help. I will do anything I can. I picture this happening in my head and it doesn't make sense. Something is definitely wrong. We will bring her home! One way or another."
Three days later, Sue Ann also disappeared. Police suspect foul play, but they have not identified any suspects. Sue Ann's sister, Sandy Chasm says, "I just have to keep hope that she is alive. I want her home, so I can talk to her."
Relatives are hoping at least one family mystery will be solved soon. The family of Sue Ann Ray is offering a $105,000 reward for information that leads to finding her.
As for Heather, her mom Sarah says the FBI's re-involvement in the case has given her new hope that she'll find out what happened to her daughter ten years ago.

Police turn to Internet in cold cases
« Reply #5 on: Oct 19th, 2006, 1:20pm » |

By Brett Barrouquere
For years, the names of Harold "Bo" Upton III, Ryan Keith Shangraw, Heather Teague and Louis Bennett Chitwood were relegated to yellowing files in a desk or filing cabinet.
But now, their cases are among the nearly 130 unsolved murders -- some more than 50 years old -- that Kentucky State Police have posted online, in the hope someone will come forward with information about their slayings
The move is similar to what law enforcement agencies from Austin, Texas, to Anchorage, Alaska, have begun doing in recent years -- posting details and sometimes pictures from cold cases on the Internet, looking to current technology to open long-hidden secrets.
"People like to assist or be involved with mysteries," said Kentucky State Police Lt. Mark Merriman. "That's what these cases are, mysteries."
By posting online, police agencies can reach beyond local newspapers or television stations to witnesses, family or friends who have moved out of the area, said William Toohey, a spokesman for the Baltimore County Police Department in Maryland.
"If you're going to do law enforcement these days, you've got to use the Internet," Toohey said.
The descriptions of the crimes at www.kentuckystatepolice.org/cold_case.htm aren't vivid, most giving a date when the body was found, the name of the victim and a few details. The idea is to give people enough information to recognize the case, but hold back enough to sort out actual tips from those by people seeking attention, Merriman said.
The efforts have met with mixed results, with law enforcement agencies reporting they have gotten tips or inquiries in a few cases but have solved few of them.
"We haven't been real successful so far," said Sgt. John Neff of the Austin Police Department in Texas.
However, the online efforts did pay off for Kentucky State Police in a case involving a person known for 12 years only as "Madison Man."
Janet Juckem of Lodi, Wis., was searching online last year for any trace of her brother-in-law, Douglas Martin Prouty, who was last seen in 1993. Juckem ran across the sketch of "Madison Man" -- so named because he was found in Madison County, Ky. -- that Merriman had posted online.
Prouty's brother, Mark Prouty, also recognized the sketch, leading to a DNA test and a positive identification.
"In one sense, it does mean closure," Prouty said.
For the families and friends of others on the cold case list, the efforts are appreciated, but not enough. Some have put up their own Web pages soliciting information.
University of Kentucky student Jeff Reynolds runs www.memoriesofbo.com, looking for information about who killed Upton and Shangraw, who were found shot to death near Stanford, Ky., in February 2002. Reynolds, whose site has been online for about a year, got the idea from seeing a billboard soliciting information for an unrelated case.
Sarah Teague of Madisonville, Ky., keeps the Web site www.whereisheatherteague.com updated as she continues to search for answers about what happened to her daughter, Heather Teague, who was last seen on Newburgh Beach in Western Kentucky in August 1995.
Troopers have presumed that Teague was killed after a witness reported seeing a man drag Teague into nearby woods.
"I know in my heart, in every fiber of my being that Heather is coming home," Sarah Teague said. "And, I know that every question I have ever asked will be answered."
The detectives who handled the cases also want answers, and the Web postings are a way to keep the information in the public eye and possibly have someone come forward after years of living with guilt, Toohey said.
In a case like that of Chitwood, a Chattanooga, Tenn., man found beaten to death in Harrodsburg, Ky., in 1969, nearly everyone involved is dead, Merriman said. But there's still a desire to solve the mystery.
"I've got a 'Baby Jane Doe' case online that I'd love to know the answers to," Merriman said. "Somebody out there has been living with that information for years. That just drives me crazy."
