wsky70 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Next weekend the 26th and 27th, volunteers will be conducting a search in the local area, site specific. Anyone wanting to volunteer there time or money will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully we can give a family some closure next weekend, and they can continue the fight for the missing. More info can be found at this site and the internet in general. http://www.whereisapril.org/index.html Semper Fi, Woody A little background: April Beth Pitzer was last seen in the vicinity of the 30000 block of Caspian Way in Newberry Springs, CA. She told her roommate that she was leaving on a bus to visit her mother in Arkansas, but never arrived. April had been a model for a variety of clothing stores in Arkansas and Texas. She left behind two young daughters, whom she doted upon. In December 2005, clothing was found in a mineshaft in Ludlow, California. In January 2006, April's mother positively identified the clothing as belonging to her daughter. There was no other sign of April at the scene. April has a medical condition and requires medication. NEXT SEARCH: April 26-27, 2008 RAIN OR SHINE LOCATIONS: Mineshafts and surrounding areas near Barstow and Newberry Springs RALY POINT: Peggy Sue's 50's Dinner (west side of parking lot - dirt section only) 35654 Yermo Road Yermo, CA 92398 GOOGLE MAP ***NOTE: POINTER MAY BE INACCURATE*** MEETING TIME: 7:30 AM EXPECT: Trucks will take volunteers to the sites. Bathrooms and water will be on site. Please bring your own food. Some volunteers will be asked to enter the mineshafts and help remove dirt and rocks. Others will be asked to walk semi-rough terrain. Trucks will return searchers at approximately 5:00 PM. Edited April 30, 2008 by wsky70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsky70 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Went out to search site 1 today to drop off some supplies, took a few pics of the area as well. It's sits out in the desert about 8 miles near nothing, south of Ludlow. The shaft is at about a 45 degree angle about 250 feet deep. At the bottom is another shaft we have to remove about 15 feet of dirt straight down. I can use you at site 1 OGP, will have to leave the porta potty down at the bottom of the hill, need someone taking people up and down for sure. It'll give your Rhino some work...SF Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsinca Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 so were the search parties able to find anything or any more clues in the disappearance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wsky70 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 We didn't find any remains, but we have a ton of clue's. I took Gloria with a couple other people to talk with who everyone thought was the man that had killed April. She had a good feeling once we left he was not the one. He was layed up in the hospital and they talked for over an hour and half. He gave alot of information to Gloria that was passed on to the authorities today. The story took a major twist, we'll see how everything works out. I'll post pics from the weekend tomorrow. Meet some really good people...SF Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
