Measure around the fullest part of the child's chest, keeping tape firmly under his armpits and around his shoulder blades.
Measure around the child's waist, slightly below the natural waist, where he normally wears his pants. Insert your forefinger between the tape and his body to allow ease in fit.
Tip: For the most accurate results, measure yourself in your undergarments.
If your measurements are in between those listed in the size chart, pick the next larger size.

The newly-elected chairman of a subcommittee of the recently reconstituted Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board plans to propose that the board recommend the city of Memphis outfit all on-duty Memphis police officers with cameras.
John Marek said in a Facebook post Saturday, Aug. 16, he will urge the Memphis City Council "to support giving teeth" to the appointed body.
Marek is chairing a subcommittee making recommendations to the full review board which is chaired by Rev. Ralph White.
"The big question," Marek added of the specific suggestion that police officers be outfitted with cameras on their person, "will be whether or not the Memphis City Council adopts our recommendations. I will be watching closely and I will not remain silent if our recommendations are ignored."
"Also don't forget that these cameras protect police officers just as much as anyone else," he said. "Plenty of fraudulent claims are placed against the police, and these cameras would prevent a lot of that from being possible."

We wish our readers a happy World Press Freedom Day! In December 1993, the United Nations General Assembly issued a proclamation designating May 3 as a day to celebrate freedom of the press, following the recommendation of UNESCO's General Conference.
It is a day to celebrate the fundamentals of media freedom, assess the state of the press around the world, defend the media against attacks on their independence, and honor journalists who have lost their lives in the course of carrying out their work.
Acts of violence against journalists occur on a regular basis in some parts of the world. Reporters in Mexico, Central America and South America are at particular risk. The death of Jamal Khashoggi, a writer for the Washington Post, attracted worldwide attention last year. He was murdered in Turkey, an act widely believed to have been ordered and carried out by the government of Saudi Arabia.
The situation in the United States is much safer, but there still are risks. Last June a man entered the newsroom of the Capital Gazette on a shooting rampage, killing five people and wounding two others. That was not politically motivated; the newspaper had published an article about the suspect and his legal issues related to harassing an acquaintance. He filed a defamation lawsuit, which was later dismissed. Closer to home, in 2011 The Olympian and one of its photographers were the targets of vandalism at their office and his home in Tumwater. He believes he was targeted by anarchist upset that he took photos of them at public demonstrations. In an interview last fall, FBI Director Christopher Wray said the bureau had six active investigations into threats against journalists.
We are not aware of reporters in Tacoma being threatened, but one well-placed source informed us of a local activist who was intimidated into inaction after receiving death threats. Bomb threats have been made against public meetings where hot-button issues were discussed. While unfortunate, this is not surprising considering the increasingly vicious, toxic political climate in Tacoma.
Freedom of the press is not just our right to publish a story; it is your right to be able to read it. Presenting the hard facts, no matter how uncomfortable they make some people, is at the heart of quality journalism.

The police chief overseeing today's Town game against Leeds has said fans and the public should be reassured by the numbers of police officers on duty.
A strong police presence greeted fans and passengers in St George's Square from 10am this morning.
Uniformed West Yorkshire Police officers positioned themselves around the square to assist Leeds fans as they arrived in to Huddersfield Railway station.
Officers from West Yorkshire Police Mounted Unit and Dogs Unit were also in the square alongside numerous police vans and officers on motorcycles.
Fans were then escorted to the ground in groups and there were no signs of disorder.
Inside the train station British Transport Police officers were assisting fans and passengers but reported everything had passed smoothly at around midday as the majority of fans had already headed to the ground.
Match commander Superintendent David Lunn, said:"Huddersfield v Leeds is a local derby match and is always very well attended.
"We have worked hard with partners in the safety committee to plan for this game and residents and supporters can be reassured that the required number of officers will be on duty to police it appropriately and safely.
"We would also ask all supporters attending today's game to enjoy the match, but most importantly stay safe."

Cognitive problems and other patient-reported symptoms after head injury do not distinguish concussion from neck injury, researchers from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo have found.
Among a group of patients with lingering symptoms after head injury, self-reported symptoms failed to separate patients with physiologic postconcussion disorder (PCD) from those with cervicogenic/vestibular injury, they report.
"Doctors cannot reliably distinguish concussion from cervical injury based on symptom reports alone," John L. Leddy, MD, first author and director of the UB Concussion Management Clinic at SUNY Buffalo, told Medscape Medical News.
"Doctors have to do a careful physical examination to try to distinguish between these two entities. They should consider systematic evaluation of exercise tolerance to help in the differential diagnosis of patients with symptoms after head and/or neck injury," he advises.
The study was published online July 21 in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine.
Differential Diagnosis
The study included 128 patients, some of whom were professional athletes, who continued to have symptoms more than 3 weeks after head injury. The patients completed a 22-item symptom questionnaire, and these responses were then correlated with results of provocative treadmill exercise testing.
The treadmill test is a way to systematically evaluate exercise tolerance in patients after concussion, Dr. Leddy explained.
"Exercise intolerance is a physiologic sign of concussion (as opposed to a reported symptom). We use it to identify those patients with ongoing physiologic dysfunction as a sign of concussion. Patients with ongoing symptoms but who have normal exercise tolerance on the treadmill have a source of symptoms other than concussion, most often from the neck," he told Medscape Medical News.
The patients in the study were classified as having physiologic PCD (abnormal treadmill performance and normal result on cervical/vestibular physical examination) or cervicogenic/vestibular injury (normal treadmill performance and abnormal result on cervical/vestibular physical examination).
According to the investigators, none of the statistical methods used to analyze self-reported symptoms was able to adequately distinguish the 2 groups.
Both patient groups reported headache, dizziness, blurred vision, poor concentration, and memory problems.
"Although, intuitively, cognitive symptoms would seem likely to distinguish between injury to the brain and injury to the neck, our results were indeterminate," the investigators write.
Determining which condition a patient has is important because the course of treatment is different, they note. "The treatment for a neck injury is actually to be more active, to do physical and vestibular therapy, to have a more active intervention, whereas after a concussion, exercise must begin slowly and incrementally after a period of rest," Dr. Leddy explained in a statement.
Neck injury may occur alongside head injury in athletes who play contact sports, the investigators point out. "A careful physical examination of the cervical spine and a neurologic examination focusing on the vestibular system and oculomotor responses can help identify sources other than brain concussion that produce similar symptoms," they say.
Inappropriate Bias?
Commenting on the study for Medscape Medical News, Michael F. Bergeron, PhD, executive director, National Youth Sports Health & Safety Institute, Sanford School of Medicine of the University of South Dakota, Vermillion, and member of the American College of Sports Medicine, said the findings are "noteworthy."
It's "very reasonable to suspect that forces directly or indirectly transmitted to the head could readily cause concomitant trauma to the cervical spine and vestibular systems. Therefore, it is quite possible (even likely) that one suffering a concussion could also have vestibular dysfunction and/or problems with the cervical spine. Moreover, there could be no concussion and still cervical/vestibular injury," he said.
Dr. Bergeron said the findings are also a reminder that it is sometimes easy to be "inappropriately biased or misdirected in certain situations," especially in the case of sports concussions, for which there are now heightened awareness of and attention to the issue.
"Some providers may be consequently, though unintentionally, lured into a simple management approach because of the widespread availability and acceptance of (and even demand for) today's sport concussion assessment tools and well-promoted management strategies. However, these findings and other research underscore that the effects of head trauma and concussions are complex and have many contributing factors and consequences," said Dr. Bergeron.
He said "an integrated total team effort...potentially involving physiotherapy (vestibular/balance rehabilitation and manual and/or sensorimotor control therapy to the cervical spine), speech therapy, academic accommodation, and maybe even a dietitian, is always the best and often more effective approach in managing head trauma and concussions. This often leads to quicker resolution and decreased time to medical clearance."
The research was supported by the Robert Rich Family Foundation, the Buffalo Sabres Foundation, the Program for Understanding Childhood Concussion and Stroke, the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation, and the National Football League Charities. The authors have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

I love it when I have the opportunity to share inspirational stories on this site. Last year I was particularly fortunate, as I was lucky enough to meet Paul Pritchard and Peter Wheatley, as well as joining the team from Just Like Jack in the Point to Pinnacle.
I thought it was about time I share the story of another amazing guy I have been lucky enough to meet in the last year. I am not shy about saying I consider myself a pretty decent runner, but I am in awe of what Ben Hirst is capable of.
Despite the amazing things this guy has already achieved and his knowledge that there is still more he will accomplish, Ben is a very humble and down to earth guy, who is always encouraging of other runners regardless of their abilities.
You'd never guess it of someone as fearless and positive as Ben, but he has actually fought his own difficult and long-running battles with depression in the past.
Humble guy that he is, Ben says little about the undoubtedly extensive personal courage and effort he must have needed to pull himself up. But he does speak enthusiastically about how important and transformative his decision to take up running was for his mental health.
So much so, that he now actively works to share his experience with others. His Run for Mental Health page chronicles his ongoing efforts to seek out challenges and to shine a light on mental health. It offers an honest insight from someone who has been there and I would strongly recommend everyone check it out.
Last weekend, Ben attempted his latest challenge, a solo 217km trail run through some of the most brutal terrain Victoria could find. Sadly, after 23 hours battling hellish terrain, he was forced to withdraw in the middle section of the race, when it became apparent he was falling too far behind the cut off time. While all of his friends and supporters are incredibly proud of him, it would be trite of me to say, he has no reason to be disappointed.
An ultra-endurance event is a considerable personal investment, requiring hours on hours of training, no shortage of pain and of course the sacrifice of time with friends and family. After all of this, the decision to withdraw midway through the race is not an easy one. In one sense, it is actually harder to admit defeat than to keep battling through in denial of the pain and fatigue. Because as much as it hurts and you want the pain to stop, you don't want it to have been 'for nothing' (not that it ever is, but that's how it feels at the time). Many runners- desperate not to accept failure- will keep going beyond when they should stop- and that is when they often injure themselves.
I have written previously how much I value my own failures and I am glad Ben had the courage the stop. He has too much else to achieve to let himself be slowed down by serious injury. And while he must be gutted right now, he knows he has a proven ability to pick himself up again.
So despite the fact that your latest adventure did not go quite to plan, I would like to join with many others when I say congratulations, Ben, not just on your latest incredible effort, but also for the arguably even more difficult achievement in overcoming your depression and becoming the great guy that you are today.

Top 10 tips to buy Rolex Watches Online

The Shepherd, the Slave-Owner, and the Stranger
Teacher: Pastor Don Hawkins
Location: Main Building – Ullestad Chapel
Our verse-by-verse study of God's Word will take us to the Apostle Paul's letters to Titus and Philemon, after which we will study his fellow apostle's letters, I and II Peter. Titus was written to a young pastor in need of direction as he provided leadership to the church. Philemon deals with the delicate issues faced by a Christian slave owner. I Peter addresses Christian suffering and II Peter "fine tunes" our eternal perspective. Although these letters were written to believers long ago, they are as relevant as ever today. The careful and in-depth study of these four epistles will embolden us for joyful and fruitful service!

There lives in a lonely, lonely town a piranha named Steve. He likes to play with matches. All the other piranhas think he that is a bit weird. They make fun of him. But this goes largely unnoticed because all the piranhas in a single pond in the backyard of one Mrs. McGregor, widow of the late military hero John McGregor who fought in the little remembered 1990 Conflict in the Falkland Islands. (To this day, nobody is really sure what the conflict was about, but at least three hundred donkeys suffered mild injuries.) Mrs. McGregor has grown rather reclusive in her later years and only socializes with her piranhas, 3 cats, and invisible unicorn named Larry. (We have been unable confirm or disprove the existence of said unicorn.) The backstory on Mrs. McGregor has been included for reasons unknown to yours truly, but our editor insisted. (I think he might be her nephew.)
Now what, you say, is news-worthy about this curious Steve? Well, even aside from his unique and pyrotechnic, Steve also happens to be a newly discovered lime-green species of piranha the scientific community is calling Serrasalmus igniscinis. He is the first of his kind to be documented! In fact, as far as we know, Steve may be the only one of his kind in existence.
This raises troubling questions. Namely: Where is Steve going to find a baby momma for his future pescatarian offspring if he is the only Serrasalmus ignicinis in existence? Do all Serrasalmus ignicinis possess an affinity for fire? And most disturbingly of all . . . Who is supplying a piranha with matches?

Pink sang the National Anthem tonight at the Super Bowl despite battling the flu. The performance was mostly applauded on Twitter, but one troll on Twitter was not impressed. "If I've said it once, I've said it 1000 times. Pink sucks and if you like her singing you're dumb #SuperBowl," the user, whose account is now protected, wrote per Entertainment Weekly.
Pink saw this and delivered this clapback: "Yeah but [at least] I suck while singing our countries national anthem, and you just suck by yourself on a dirty couch."
She proceeded to thank the rest of her fans for their support:

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - A father and son are charged with beating a man and making death threats to make him leave the country, according to Horry County Police.
HCPD says the father and son forced their way into the victim's home on Socastee Boulevard earlier this month.
That victim says he was lying on the couch when 26-year-old Jonathan Miramontes and his father, 50-year-old Jose Santos Miramontes kicked in the front door and assaulted him with a metal blunt object.
HCPD says the two made threats that if the man didn't leave the country by the next day they would be back to kill him.
The victim was bleeding and had visible injuries to his eye, nose, throat, and arms, authorities said.
Each is charged with Burglary in the first degree and assault and battery by mob.

Activities only held in the Great Plains include the Calgary Stampede, the Crow Fair, and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The Great Plains has also become a distinct region through the works of great sportsmen and sportswomen, such as Jim Thorpe, Gordie Howe, and Nancy Lopez.[1]
Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC)In 1969, the Great Plains Athletic Conference was established as the Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NIAC). It has now expanded into Iowa and South Dakota consisting of eleven private, religious colleges. The NIAC officially became the GPAC in 2000. The Great Plains Athletic Conference is an affiliation of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). There are 19 sports sponsored by the GPAC, 10 men's sports and 9 women's sports, and is the only NAIA conference in the country to sponsor wrestling. The GPAC also keeps a focus on academics as 517 Scholar-Athletes were named in 2011-2012.
GPAC Schools: Briar Cliff University - Sioux City, IA; Concordia University - Seward, NE; Dakota Wesleyan University - Mitchell, SD; Doane College - Crete, NE; Dordt College - Sioux Center, IA; Hastings College - Hastings, NE; Midland University - Fremont, NE; Morningside College - Sioux City, IA; Mount Marty College - Yankton, SD; Nebraska Wesleyan University - Lincoln, NE; Northwestern College - Orange City, IA.
The GPAC currently celebrates 20 NAIA National Champions (2012).[2]
Greater Nebraska Athletic Conference (GNAC)The Greater Nebraska Athletic Conference is sponsored by the Greater Nebraska Athletic Association. The GNAC consists of eight Nebraska high schools: Columbus, Hastings, Kearney, Lexington, McCook, Norfolk, North Platte, and Scottsbluff.
Nebraska prides itself on high school and collegiate althletics due to the lack of a pro sports team within the state.[3]

But it took a long, long time
But now there's a turnabout
Maybe 'cause I'm trying
All my roads, They lead to you
I just can't turn and walk away
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, And I can't do
Enough to prove,
It's all for you" ~ Sister Hazel "All For You"
Hold 'Em
Tim Locastro
Locastro has his warts. Low OPS, almost no power, and he doesn't play every day. That said, he does play, and if you look at the Statcast leaderboard, he is literally the fastest player in baseball. 9 steals without being caught, 15 HBP. He's a fast on-base machine when he plays, and that is great for steals and runs. You probably don't want to run him out there as a set and forget piece, but he certainly has his uses.
Mike Tauchman
He may lose playing time if the Yankees ever get healthy. But that is a big if, and over the last 30 days, he's hitting .418 with 4 home runs, 2 steals and an OPS over 1.000. Even if they get healthy, he may be stealing a job for himself. Those numbers were before his 2 home run night Monday, so your window here is shrinking fast.
Ryan McMahon
Quietly, very quietly, former star-prospect-turned-not-a-prospect-turned-prospect-turned-quad-A-guy is shaking all of those labels. He's hitting .308 with a .932 OPS since early July, with 5 home runs and a steal thrown in for good measure. As the run-on sentence would suggest, he's always had talent. That talent is finally getting enough playing time to show.
Brad Keller and Ivan Nova
Both have very quietly put together great runs over the last month. Both have an ERA under 3.00 during that time. Neither strikes out a ton of guys, but they are both generating enough soft contact with enough control to get away with it. Keller's been better, but both have some upside the rest of the way.
Fold 'Em
Justin Upton
He's been hurt all year, and even though he returned, he still LOOKS hurt. Not only that, but his slump is actually getting worse. A .164 average and .552 OPS over the last 30 days with only 2 home runs is bad. He was hitting .258 on July 23rd. He's hitting .210 after 3 at-bats on Monday. Batting average still matters when it is going sharply in reverse. I think he's hurt, and if the Angels fall further out of the next week or two, I wouldn't be surprised to see him shut it down. I don't think there's anything here for the rest of the year.
Orlando Arcia
Well, it's year 4 of the Arcia experiment, and he still can't hit. If you are still running him out there every day, I would be astonished if you can't find a better option on the wire in all but the deepest of leagues. .664 OPS on the year, .478 over the last month. Even if you can't do better, cutting him might boost your average and OPS by default without harming you over much in other categories. I know I preach at-bats, but black holes don't help anyone.
Masahiro Tanaka
Listen, I know he was an All-Star, but it is all going wrong right now. I don't know how he fixes this mess. 38 hits in his last 24.2 innings with an ERA north of 9. That's more than a couple of bad starts. It is a full-blown slump edging toward panic territory. His splitter has abandoned him, and he's serving up meatballs to every hitter. If you don't want to cut him, fine. Trade him if you still can, but at least put him on your bench. Don't think it's just the 12 run implosion driving his numbers up. In the 3 starts sandwiching that one, he gave up 5 runs twice and 2 runs in an 82 pitch, 4 inning dud. Over the last 4 starts he has 15k, 9bb and 34 hits. That's also known as 43 baserunners in 18.2 innings, or in layman's terms, a disaster.

The U.S. government has shut down all non-essential functions and personnel due to fear of the Republican Party leadership. Rather than work to advance their causes through the traditional means of compromise, Republicans in the house — coerced by the Tea Party faction — have chosen close the government's doors until they get what they want.
Perhaps the most humorous part of this shutdown is the Republican leadership's insistence that fault lies with Senate Democrats and President Obama.
On Aug. 21, Speaker John Boehner circulated a memo Ñ that was then signed by 80 Republicans Ñ stating that there was a great need to defund Obamacare, and more importantly that the best way to do so would be through the appropriations bill. Recognizing that the government would again need a continuing resolution (or CR) to keep the government funded, the Republicans saw a chance to defund or otherwise injure Obamacare despite not having the votes in Senate to do so. This action effectively took the government of the United States hostage, with the House of Representatives willing to send the government into a shutdown if Obamacare continued.
Even with these polarising political times, it seems odd that the Republican Leadership would be willing to risk an economic collapse to stop a law that has already been approved in both houses of congress, signed by the president and upheld by the Supreme Court. The hardline tactic of shutting down the government — if no concessions occur — seems especially dangerous for conservatives who are against such popular social measures as gay marriage and gun control given that the Senate Democrats could easily turn around demanding a change in the national law. The only reason Boehner would risk such a ridiculous game of Russian roulette is his fear of the Tea Party.
As I mentioned in last week's article, the Tea Party started taking out ads against Republicans last month who, in their opinion, were not being tough enough on Obamacare.
What many fail to grasp is the magnitude and significance of these ads and their general attitude. In publically going against their own side of the aisle, the Tea Party demonstrated that the 2014 elections could contain many Tea Party challenges to Republican seats, including the speakership.
With the an intensification of more accurate ways to go about redistricting to ensure political control of certain areas, the threat of candidates farther to the right than the Republicans (which could result in "safe" Republican districts being won over by Democrats) was simply too great. Boehner chose to put the entire country (and global market) at risk, rather than lose his speakership.
The shutdown disrupted the jobs of 800,000 federal employees (with well over 400,000 government employees still unable to work) and resulted in the closure of everything from national parks to some of the federal food programs for women and children.
Meanwhile, the expected hit on the stock market could be right around the corner. While some have felt the effect of the shutdown more than others, it is ludicrous to suggest that its effects are minor. As much as the Republican leadership would like to make the shutdown an issue of the Democrats being unwilling to compromise, anyone who takes an objective look at the situation will see that taking the government hostage only serves those directly behind its capture: Speaker John Boehner and his loyal Republican followers.

The development of crowd-funding platforms such as GoFundMe has elevated an individual's ability to see their financial goals realized. Whether the goal is retaining support for a passion project, or simply garnering a smaller sum to pull through a financial crisis or emergency, crowd-funding is making it all possible. One type of campaign that is becoming more and more vital is GoFundMe campaigns for missing persons. When a person is reported missing, law enforcement jumps on the case to follow up on hot leads, interview witnesses, and gather evidence. While these services are obviously a public service, it's not uncommon… Read More

The girls had planned on staying at a hotel in Branson, Mo., then visit the White-Water amusement park in the morning. Stacy called her mother to tell her they instead decided to stay at a friend's home in Battlefield, Mo. After the police were called due to a noise complaint, the two girls head over to Sherrill's house to spend the rest of the night. Sherill had been… Read More
Police arrest estranged husband and his girlfriend in connection with her disappearance… Jennifer Dulous, 50, was last seen on May 24, 2019. The last time anyone heard from her, she was dropping off her five children at school in her black Chevrolet Suburban. Following that last point of contact, police investigating her disappearance have been following a trail of tangible and circumstantial evidence that paints a picture of a marriage fraught with control and intimidation, followed by an ugly custody battle that may have been the motive for a grisly, violent act. On June 1st, police arrested Jennifer's estranged husband,… Read More
(Sarah Galloway, 38, has Down Syndrome and went missing from Tucson, Ariz., on March 21, 2019.) On March 21, 2019, Sherry Galloway, 66, got out of the shower and, while sitting on her bed, "realized I didn't hear Sarah," she said. She ran to the door where Sarah had been sitting on the porch and looked down the road that leads away from the residence Galloway shares with her daughter in the community of Picture Rocks, outside of Tucson, Ariz. "My first thought was that she had just walked further down the road than she was allowed," says Galloway. "I… Read More
Logan City authorities are still searching for 5-year-old Elizabeth Shelley in Utah, following reports that the chief suspect in her disappearance is both under arrest and has been charged with murder. Despite the fact that a body has not been recovered, authorities have released statements characterizing the evidence in the case as solid. The Cache County Attorney's Office also recently released a grateful statement from the family, "As a family, we are overwhelmed, scared and sad at the recent tragic events that have touched our lives." The desperate and miserable circumstances of little Elizabeth's disappearance have been further compounded by… Read More
Marlen Ochoa-Lopez, 19, was a dark-haired beauty and nine months' pregnant when she went missing April 23, 2019, in Chicago, Ill. That day Ochoa-Lopez had attended classes at Latino Youth High School in Chicago, planning to pick up her 3-year old at daycare later that day. According to police, prior to her disappearance she had appealed to other mothers on a Facebook group called "Help a Sister Out," asking for help securing a double stroller for her toddler and new baby. A high-school student, Ochoa-Lopez wrote in a post that she was unemployed and short on cash, and willing to… Read More
Authorities and investigators in Texas have renewed vigor in their search for a four-year-old girl in Texas, following allegations the prime suspect knew of "a good place to dump a body." After chasing down multiple leads with search teams, Texas EquuSearch announced this week they would be suspending their search for Maleah Davis until they could refocus their investigation. Surveillance footage provided investigators with an insidious picture of the hours before and after Maleah's disappearance. On the morning of April 30, 2019, a surveillance photo shows Maleah walking with her mother's former fiancé, Derion Vence, through the backyard of their… Read More
Their due dates have passed, but these women have still not been found… The ticking of the clock is resonating as a heavy blow in Chicago, as communities continue to demand answers in the cases of two pregnant women who have disappeared from the south side over the last year. As of today, their due dates have passed, further compounding the concern and worry of friends and family. Back in October of 2018, we shared the story of 26-year-old postal carrier, Kierra Coles. She was three months pregnant at the time of her disappearance, and her projected due date was… Read More
Americans are captivated by missing child stories, haunted by the nagging specter of "What if this happened to my child?" The year 2018 was punctuated by a handful of missing child cases that were covered by mainstream media, including Jayme Closs, Mollie Tibbetts, and Karlie Gusé. Interest in missing children cases continues to grow with the production of documentaries and docuseries about famous missing child cases, like Madeline McCann and Jan Broberg. This cultivated curiosity can only benefit the ultimate goal of keeping a missing person's face in the public eye in the interest of unearthing unexplored leads in their… Read More
When you are in the midst of a traumatic experience, it's hard to look beyond the immediate crisis. When a loved one goes missing, it's hard to think about issuing a press release and why it may be so important to learn in the initial days folmlowing the missing person report. How important is a press release when some we love goes missing? Digital communication is the most used form of communication in the United States. When a person goes missing, it becomes paramount to notify as many people as possible in order to generate leads for law enforcement, and… Read More
Couple vanishes while on vacation in Dominican Republic A romantic trip to the Caribbean sounds just like what the doctor ordered as the warmer weather approaches. Unfortunately for one New York couple, a mysterious series of events on their vacation to the Dominican Republic culminated in tragedy, leaving their families searching for answers. Orlando Moore and Portia Ravenelle documented their adventure through SnapChat—photos in front of lush greenery, photos with wildlife. The gregarious couple managed to make friends with other tourists who were staying at their resort, the Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa. The couple was last seen sharing a drink… Read More
The disappearance of Madeline McCann is arguably the most internationally famous missing child case since the Lindbergh baby vanished in 1932. The story received an unprecedented amount of media attention throughout the globe due to the international nature of the case and the public relations campaign that struggled to keep the child's face out there in the public eye. Now, in 2019, Netflix has released an eight-episode docuseries, The Disappearance of Madeline McCann, about the case, taking a hard look at the investigation and media coverage surrounding the case since Madeline disappeared 11 years ago. Madeline McCann was just three… Read More
When we see missing person cases in the news, we become fascinated on an exponential scale. This includes media coverage, their missing persons flyer, or podcasts about their disappearance. The farther away we are positioned from a missing person case—whether it's geographically or inter-personally—the more fascinated we are, like those who rubberneck to see the aftermath of a terrible accident. A person in Indianapolis who reads all of the news coverage about the Jayme Closs case in Wisconsin might do so without any sense of paranoia, because it's happening 400 miles away, and not in their own lives. Recent statistics… Read More
Last week, Tawana, Jabez Spann's mother, received the closure she'd been chasing since September 4, 2017. That Labor Day weekend was the last time she saw her son alive. The Sarasota teen went missing from his own front yard after having attended a candlelight vigil being held two blocks from his home. After a torturous 18 months without answers, she finally received the news she dreaded. Two men were checking a fence in a pasture in Manatee County when they made a grisly discovery: A human skull. They called 911. Jabez's remains identified from dental records. Sarasota Police Deputy Chief… Read More
Jayme Closs vanished October 15, 2018 and found alive 88-days later in rural Wisconsin. Photo courtesy WOKV TV. The recent disappearance of Jayme Closs, 13, and the brutal murder of her parents, gripped the nation for nearly 3 months. Jayme's abduction, and eventual recovery, has parents now wondering how safe their own children are when traveling to and from school. On October 15, 2018, Barron Sheriff's Department received a cell phone call from a local residence but were unable to make contact with the caller. We now know that urgent call came from Denise Closs, 46, just moments before she… Read More
The search for Savannah Spurlock is entering its 6th week, as law enforcement continue to reconstruct the events that led up to her disappearance. On January 4th, after spending some time with her mother, the 23-year-old had decided to go out with friends. It would be her first return to her social life since recently giving birth to twins. Her mother, Ellen Spurlock, was glad to see her daughter getting out to have fun again. She told the Lexington Herald-Leader, "I thought she needed a little break. She hadn't done anything for months since she just had the twins." The… Read More
But Jayme Closs's story is not solitary in the true-crime world. Here are the stories of five other cases of child abduction where the child was eventually located alive, months—sometimes decades later.
If you watch a lot of crime dramas, either on television or on the silver screen, you might have heard a law enforcement character say something to the effect of, "You must wait 24 hours before reporting a person missing." It surprises many Americans that this is a myth perpetuated by mainstream media to cover narrative plot-holes. In fact, waiting even a few hours can compromise a missing persons investigation, as the first 72 hours are the most important when investigators begin searching for a missing person. Close your eyes and try to remember what you had for breakfast three… Read More
Jayme Closs's harrowing story of survival has captured the attention of the entire nation. The 13-year-old Wisconsin teen went missing almost three months ago on October 15,2018, after a cryptic phone call to 911 triggered a call from police to the Closs home where officers made a grisly discovery. Jayme's parents, James and Denise Closs, were found shot dead and their 13-year-old daughter was nowhere to be found. The slaying of her parents and evidence of a home invasion qualified the missing teenager for an Amber Alert by authorities, and search efforts immediately began for Jayme as investigators began to… Read More
How easy would it be to kidnap a child in a crowded place? Maybe the park, walking home from school or even sleeping in their own bedroom. Over again, we see parents of missing children making pleas for the safe return of their children on the news. We see the Amber Alerts and Facebook posts and immediately picture our own children's faces, thinking "What if it happened to me?" A common reaction to something so traumatic. A young child becoming the victim of a predator is every parent's worst nightmare, but the fact is, it is happening every day to… Read More
When a loved one goes missing, those closest to them become law enforcement's greatest asset. One of the tenets of any quality investigation is research and close examination of the subject's habits. Clues to a person's whereabouts or fate can often be found in their regular daily routine. However, when the missing person suffers from mental health issues, families and law enforcement are often without recourse. A person vanishing without a trace or without warning is terrifying enough; one day they're there, walking, talking, laughing, doing the things they love. Then one day, they're not. The void left by that… Read More
It is said, ambiguous loss is the most traumatic of human experiences, and when someone you love goes missing, it is a trauma unlike any other. Ambiguous loss occurs without understanding or closure, leaving a person searching for answers. Ambiguous loss confounds the process of grieving, leaving a person with prolonged unresolved grief and deep emotional trauma. Ambiguous loss can be classified in two categories, psychological and physical. Psychological and physical loss differ in terms of what and why exactly the person is grieving. Physical ambiguous loss means the body of a loved is no longer present, such as a… Read More
Today marks eight weeks since 16-year-old Karlie Gusé wandered away from her family home in Chalfant, California, without a trace, leaving her family and friends with many questions about her safety and whereabouts. Karlie's stepmother, Melissa Gusé, told investigators she observed Karlie in bed around 5:30 in the morning on October 13, 2018. When she checked on Karlie again between 7:15 and 7:30, Karlie was nowhere to be found. She had left behind all of her personal belongings, including her cell phone, before walking away from the property. The teen had told her parents the night before, she had attended… Read More
Many individuals who lived through natural disasters in the year 2018 lost loved ones to violent forces of nature. National news has been inundated, not only with updated death totals, but also long lists of names belonging to individuals who went missing during the disaster. The initial report in a missing persons case is a springboard for many complicated processes and procedures conducted by law enforcement and private investigators. Every relevant piece of information about the missing person must be collected, their last known whereabouts searched. If law enforcement determines the person is in immediate danger, or if they're a… Read More

For Hania Aguilar's family however, this joyous time of year has already been marred by her disappearance.

The Mono County Sheriff's Office is fighting an uphill battle in their search for 16-year-old Karlie Guse. The teenager disappeared from her Chalfant, California home in the early hours of Saturday, October 13th, 2018. She is 5'7" tall, approximately 110 pounds, with dark blonde hair and blue eyes. At the time of her disappearance, Karlie was wearing a white t-shirt and grey sweatpants. Three weeks after her disappearance, law enforcement—including the Federal Bureau of Investigation—remain stymied in their search for Karlie. Law enforcement involved with the case have described Karlie as possibly being disoriented when she went missing around 6:30… Read More
Near the intersection of 81st and Vernon in the Chatham neighborhood of Chicago, Joseph Coles is waiting. Despite the days growing colder in the windy city, Coles has been living out of his car, a tan sedan, in front of his daughter's apartment building since October 2nd, 2018.

When we think of missing persons, we often think of victims who have likely befallen violence at the hands of another. Either they have been killed and their remains concealed, or they were abducted and are being held against their will somewhere. While there are many circumstances under which a person can go missing, those who go missing with mental illness can be some of the most difficult to find. The intricate layered mesh of mental health issues combined with the complexities of a missing persons investigation make for a maddening puzzle that plagues both the heart and the mind…. Read More
Indigenous women in this country are more likely than any other group to be raped or murdered. The salt in this gaping wound is they are also least likely to see justice. These are very passive terms, but there are no others, because the amount of data available about violent crimes against indigenous women is dwarfed in comparison to those of other groups. Last year, there were 5,646 Native American women entered into the National Crime Information Centre (NCIC) as missing. As of June 2018, there had been 2,758 reported missing. Many of their families have claimed no one bothered… Read More

In central Iowa, off of Interstate 80, there is a little town called Brooklyn. Eight weeks ago, if you googled, 'Brooklyn, Iowa,' you would probably get results from the regional newspapers, a community Facebook page not updated since 2016, and a few Google Maps results.

When we hear of a person going missing without a trace, it's often in municipalities, such as cities. The moment a loved one has realized the person is missing, they contact their local police department to file a missing persons report. From there, search and/or rescue efforts are launched by the local law enforcement. Hundreds of labor-hours are spent canvassing the area where the missing persons were last seen, speaking to witnesses who knew the missing person, and gathering information that could unearth plausible leads. According to the NCIC, as of May 31, 2018, there were 87,608 active missing person… Read More

It has been over a decade since Facebook first broke ground in social media. Since its inception in 2004, Facebook has gone from connecting people in close proximity—students on college campuses—to closing the gaps of space and time as old high school flames reignite their old love through the lines of Facebook Messenger. However, not even Mark Zuckerburg could have predicted Facebook would be used to connect family members and amateur investigators in order to uncover new leads in unsolved or cold cases. The social media platform hosts hundreds of discussion pages, like Cold Case Discussion Group and Missing Leads,… Read More

Rarely do you hear on the news of an American missing in Jamaica. Most missing person cases usually involve tourists who come to visit the island on a cruise, typically docked in Ocho Rios or Montego Bay, and never make it back to the ship once it's time to depart. Typically, at the end of the investigation, the missing persons are normally found visiting a relative or staying in a nearby resort, claiming they simply wanted to spend more time on the island. A recent example of such a case happened this past February. Three U.S. nationals, 24-year-old Tricia Forrester, 35-year-old Glen Triston,… Read More

NOTE: This article contains spoilers! Read with caution.
|First appearance
|Volume 7, Chapter 50 (sea slug form)
Volume 7, Chapter 51 (true form)
|Current Location
|Leader of the Admirabilis
|Voice Actors
Variegatus is the current ruler of the Admirabilis, ascending to leadership five generations after Ventricosus.
As with other Admirabilis, Variegatus has both an animal form and a human form. Her animal form is that of a small slug, similar to the slug form of Ventricosus, though a bit smaller. Her body is pale while her head is darker. She had a shell but it was not shown as she lost it before meeting Phosphophyllite.
Her humanoid form is comprised of an upper human torso with a lower octopus-like body with many short tentacles. As with other Admirabilis, parts of her body resemble clothing: she appears as if she were wearing a fancy embroidered dress while her lower half resembles a hoop skirt. Her head has a crown with a large spherical object at the top.
Variegatus is more child-like than her predecessors, perhaps due to the fact that she is most likely younger than Ventricosus when they each met Phos. At home, she was told that she was helpless and lacked the talents of her predecessors so she wanted to prove herself by venturing into the land on the surface that everyone else feared. Despite the legends told by her people about the dangers of the land, she approached it without much fear or apprehension. Despite her inexperience, she is an ambitious person who wants to go to the Moon to rescue the rest of her relatives.
Variegatus is a cheerful but forgetful person. When Phos asks her about key events of the past, it took her a long time of thinking before she remembered. Much like Ventricosus, she mentions that she liked the "beauties" found on the land, referring to the Gems.
During a battle with the Lunarians, Phosphophyllite lost bits of their hair which dropped into the sea. While searching for them underwater, someone hands Phos a strand, but they disappear before Phos could see them. Later, some of the younger Gems help Phos look for their hair and find a small slug which they play with. They put the slug in the school's pond where the jellyfish start attacking it. Phos was nearby and hears the slug uselessly commanding the jellyfish to stop. They rescue the slug, who recognizes the smell of Phos' legs as pieces of the shell from her ancestor Aculeatus, who met Phos a hundred prior. Variegatus calls the Gem "Pospopilizliz", a mispronounciation of Phosphophyllite's name due to errors made when passing down Ventricosus' legend from generation to generation. She also mentions that her people are afraid of the surface because of the tales Ventricosus told them about her experiences, especially regarding Rutile's attempted dissection on her.
Phos had forgotten the information that Ventricosus told them during their time in the sea so they ask Variegatus if she knows any legends about the Gems or Lunarians. Variegatus has heard many legends among her people but cannot remember the one that Phos needs. Disappointed, Phos goes to the beach to return Variegatus into the sea. Variegatus mentions that Ventricosus regretted betraying Phos to the end of her life, to which Phos offers a piece of her leg as a sign of forgiveness. Variegatus is joyful and swallows the piece to keep it safe. She then goes into the water where she transforms into her human form. At that moment, she recalls the legend that Ventricosus once told Phos about an ancient animal known as humans who split into three parts: the Flesh, the Bone, and the Spirit. She also mentions that she intends to go to the Moon to rescue the rest of her people, causing Phos to realize what they must do to rescue the other Gems.
Variegatus mentions that her people in the sea are still few. Not much is known about her home or her relationship with her people, except that she wishes to prove herself despite lacking the talents her predecessors had.
Variegatus seems to take a liking to the Gems, calling them "beauties", despite the legend she's heard about how dangerous they are. Unlike Ventricosus, she has only had a limited experience and has not met all the Gems before returning to the sea. She is particularly fond of Phos, or "Pospopilizliz", due to the legends surrounding them.
- Variegatus comes from Latin, from which the word variegated descends, meaning something that is streaked, spotted, or otherwise contains a variety colors, especially in regards to plants and animals. Several species of both plants and animals also use "variegatus" as a part of their scientific name.
- Variegatus mentions that her people on the planet are still few. Since only Ventricosus and her brother Aculeatus were shown to return, it is not clear how the Admirabilis was able to repopulate themselves on the planet.
