As I sit there reading articles like this, my heart just breaks for the family. For the sake of their sanity, they have to hold onto hope, but let's face it, there is little hope left. The longer she is gone, the less hope there is. It also infuriates me. These child molesters who have turned into child murderers, should never, ever be returned to society. Our prison systems are failing miserably at rehabilitation. Our legal system has failed miserably by returning these monsters to society. Lock them up and throw away the key, execute them, whatever it takes but do not return them to society. Jessica would still be alive. This child may not be missing. It's freaking scary. It's time for the laws to protect the victim and to hell with the rights of prisoners. They gave up their rights when they took away the rights for a child to have their life, their innocence, their right to feel safe.

Body found near missing Florida girl's home

SARAH MICHELLE LUNDE
Age: 13, born August 30
Ht., Wt.: 5 feet 3; 176 lbs.
Description: White; brown hair below shoulders usually worn in ponytail; hazel eyes, last seen in white T-shirt, orange and blue basketball shorts; green cast on left wrist
RUSKIN, Florida (CNN) -- Searchers in Florida looking for missing 13-year-old Sarah Michelle Lunde found a body about half a mile south of the girl's home, Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee said Saturday.
Authorities still do not know if the body is Sarah, Gee said.
The body was found half-submerged in a pond at an abandoned fish farm, the sheriff said.
"We need now to make a positive identification," Gee said. "Certainly I don't think there's that much coincidence that we would have something that close [to the family home]. But I cannot not say yet with any degree of certainty at this point."
Gee said the body was found by a search-and-rescue dog.
The sheriff said he told Sarah's mother, Kelly May, this morning about the discovery.
About 200 volunteers and 100 law enforcement officers had expanded the search area Saturday to find Sarah, who has been missing for nearly a week.
Searchers were combing the area south of the girl's home toward Little Manatee River State Park on Saturday.
The search earlier this week had been focused on a three-quarter-mile radius of Sarah's home in Ruskin, about 10 miles south of Tampa on the edge of Tampa Bay.
Friday, searchers found "lots" of empty Budweiser or Bud Light beer bottles in the vicinity of the girl's home after police said one of them may hold a clue to her disappearance, said sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter.
The bottles may undergo DNA testing.
Beer bottles and mother's boyfriend
Sheriff's Capt. Craig Latimer would not explain why searchers were asked to keep an eye out for the bottles, but police told CNN it may have a connection to David Onstott, a 36-year-old convicted sex offender -- currently in county custody on unrelated charges -- who recently ended a relationship with Sarah's mother.
Police have not called Onstott a suspect, and his attorney has denied that Onstott had anything to do with Sarah's disappearance.
Authorities also have not ruled out the possibility Sarah ran away.
According to Sarah's 17-year-old brother, Onstott was at the family home early Sunday morning -- hours after she was last seen. The brother told police it was the first time he had seen Onstott in months, and that Onstott picked up a half-full beer bottle from a table before leaving.
Carter said Onstott was at the home looking for Sarah's mother.
Gee said on CNN's "American Morning" on Friday that Onstott "is one of the people that we have looked at, as well as others." Gee said he would not "label anybody at this time."
Sarah was last seen by her brother at her home when she returned from a church function Saturday night. Her brother went out, and when he returned early Sunday she was gone. Her mother was out of town, and reported her missing Monday. A national missing-persons alert was issued Tuesday.
Troubled histories
Authorities arrested Onstott on Tuesday in Apollo Beach, Florida, north of Ruskin, on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the sheriff's office said. Deputies said Onstott threatened a man with a screwdriver during an argument.
He was arraigned Thursday on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender, and remains in the Hillsborough County Jail. Although his bond was set at $250,000, Onstott also was being held on a drunken driving warrant from Michigan, sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway said. Because there is no bond on the Michigan charge, Onstott is being held without bond, Callaway said.
Onstott has a 1995 sexual battery conviction for assaulting a female acquaintance in her home, for which he served six years in prison and two years probation, Callaway said.
Gee told CNN on Friday that Onstott has been cooperative.
There are 24 sex offenders in the Ruskin area, police have said; 23 have been questioned, and they believe the 24th left the area before Sarah disappeared.
Sarah has spent time in the state's foster care system, and, when she was 9, authorities ordered her hospitalized to ensure she did not hurt herself, law enforcement authorities said.
She was last seen wearing a green half-cast on her left forearm due to a wrist injury.
On Thursday, volunteers at the scene included Mark Lunsford, father of Jessica Lunsford, the 9-year-old abducted and killed in February in Homosassa, Florida, by a convicted sex offender who had been living across the street from her home.

sadly i have to cap this story off, i try not to leave any of the alerts hanging, even though it's 'old' news. Fox reported tonight that the poor girl was abused terribly by her family members long before her brutal murder. a short sad life. rest in peace dearest. and may her "mother" rot in hell.
