Lot more information now -- everyone praying for Jessica's safe return.

This is on Greta's show now.

Prayers on the way.

Saw that. Hope she sticks with it. Also, local news reported the sheriff's office is interviewing about a dozen registered sex offenders/predators living in the area.

"I'm concerned," Powalish said. "My daughter is always roaming around."

What does he mean to be saying?

[varina davis]

I believe he means he is concerned about her security since his daughter wanders around through the neighborhood.

[VadeRetro]

The person they are looking for.

[varina davis]

Thanks for posting Jessica's photo. She is such a cutie. Hope and pray for the best.

[VadeRetro]

She'd be a loss. Hope she's OK.

Holy Father,

We place Jessie in your loving arms and pray for You to reveal her whereabouts to the authorities. Confound and confuse anyone who has taken her and release her from their control. Father, we ask You to defend this young girl and bring her home safely to the arms of her parents. Nothing is too difficult for You, Lord. We place our trust in You, and thank You for all You are doing. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

[varina davis]

Amen.

I am praying for Jessica and her family.
I hope she is found soon and returned safely to her family.

Is the mother still missing?

Something is weird about this case. I suspect someone in the family, maybe even the mother, or a close family friend as the dog didn't rouse the grandparents and the front door was open, probably from within. She might have been awaken with window-tappings and then gone to the door and opened it herself for someone to get in.

[iwannaknow07]

Amen.

Thanks for posting that photo.

A cousin was on Greta's On The Record last night, well spoken in the face of obvious distress. She said the family (grdprts, father, Jessica) live in a double wide trailer in retirement community though there are some kids, no probs or specific concerns about neighbors, family friends, or anyone else, that the grandparents are ordinary -- strict but loving, people you can go to if you have a problem. Jessica's mother has never been involved in her life from shortly after her birth and is not in the area.

She said Jessica is a good kid, did not have an "internet habit" (they'd only recently gotten a computer), good student, had just gotten a "perfect attendance" commendation at her school, involved at her church.

Prayers for her safe return.
