Officials Find 9-Year-Old Iowa Girl Missing Since 2005 Living Under False Name Created by Mother

A Burlington girl missing more than a year has been found in northern Mississippi in a run-down mobile home with her mother, who is accused of kidnapping the child and forcing her to use a fake name, authorities said.

Trashanda Waytes, 9, disappeared in November 2005, one month after a judge awarded her father custody of the child. Authorities said they used a tip to track the girl to Byhalia, Miss., on Tuesday night, and her father was traveling Wednesday to Mississippi to bring his daughter home.

Ron Waytes may be in for quite a shock when the two are reunited.

"She denied she was Trashanda Waytes," said David Jolley, a U.S. Marshal based in Memphis, Tenn. "She denied to officers she was the missing girl from Iowa the whole time, until her mother finally fessed up. ... Apparently the mother pressed it upon her that she follow this story — that the child go by the fake name. That's who she thought she was."

What a beautiful little girl

Yes she is. I can only hope she can get her life back together now.

How sad.

She has at least one person who loves her very much. That's a lot, really.

Blodwyn means "white flower". It has more meaning than any Anglo American name I can think of.

You should still have this crap pulled, it's total bullshit. And watch "bullshit" get the thread pulled. Some people here are total and complete trash.

Considering the definitions of the second syllables of both names you might have just called Family Services instead and told them to get ready...

LOL!! That's probably more true than you know...

On the other hand, I have some male family by marriage who are named 'Christ.' It's pronounced Krist, but there you go.

One of the Christs was a guest of the state for a bit. It was interesting to be able to lookup Christ in the state's database...

Yeah. It's much better than too many have, no matter the name.
