Police have canceled an Amber Alert after finding a body in rural Johnson County. A positive identification of the body has not been made.
The Alert had been issued after ten-year-old Jetseta Gage disappeared from her Cedar Rapids home on Thursday night.
Police located 37-year-old Roger Paul Bentley in Johnson County this morning. He is in custody but has not been charged.
Jetsetta's mother Trena Gage says the Bently was a family friend who worked on her car occassionally. He was at the home from about noon until eight and Gage says her son saw the 10-year-old get into Bentley's truck. She told TV9, "My son said he saw my daughter in the truck...she has permission because because we've known him so long. I got back at 8:30 and she was gone."
"I'm distraught. I'm just praying," Trena told the Cedar Rapids Gazette. "I just want her home."
Jetseta, who is mentally challenged, is a white 10-year-old, stands 4 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 90 pounds. Again, she was last seen wearing an orange coat and purple pants.
The suspect Roger Bently is listed on the Iowa Sex Offenders Registry for a 1994 Buchanan County conviction involving a white female under age 13.
Incorrect county...should say Benton.
Chermical castration works for me.
No, it's time to a) keep these scum sucking useless pieces of crap in prison for the rest of their lives or b) make sex-offenses involving children qualify for the death-penalty. Personally, I perfer the latter.
And this guy gets to drink Water and Terri doesn't.
Send them all to Judge Greer. Tell him they're vegetative and they would like to die of thirst.
JUST IN, Breaking news.
Judge Greer rules that Roger Paul Bentley can have food and water after murdering this girl.
Exactly what do you suggest our "grandstanding leaders" should be doing to prevent anymore of these incidents? Isn't it the courts who let them back on the streets?
Wow, this Country is a total mess.
Actually, I heard that someone else heard this guy say to someone else that if he ever had to go to jail again he wanted no food or water and wanted to die. That's all the evidence we need, right? Let's get on with it.
300,000 Convicted Sexual Predators have unrestricted access to the public streets of this whole country, per the FBI.
The database may help but the mobility and cunning of these perverts is extreme. The Liberal Courts share a lot of the blame.
Nope, this is one offense which requires locking up and throwing away the key. Any man who molests children will always molest children.
A single application of .22lr would be much cheaper.
Please keep in mind.. these are only the ones they KNOW about!!!
As long as just ordinary Americans children are being kidnapped, raped and murdered it doesn't matter to them. When it starts happening to the elite in this country, then they'll start talking about doing something.
Oh, yes, LOL, I know so many people with the name Ion Guru. You were very clever to add "Implant." LOL!!!!
I'm assuming the mother did not know this, or she would not have let her kids go anywhere with him.
I can't take this anymore!! How much more of this can I take?!! A murder every other day of an innocent child. Usually sexually assaulted. Sexual predators let out of jail! We can't let sexual predators and murderers out of jail anymore. You assault someone sexually or you murder someone, you go to jail for life. That's the only sane policy.
Here we go again. So sad.
