Find Jaliek Day April 5th

FIND JALIEK DAY – APRIL 5, 2008
 
The Find Jaliek Task Force along with several organizations and individuals have prepared a special day to concentrate efforts to find Jaliek Rainwalker.  The day consists of three different events, lasting from three hours to all day.  They are as follows:
 
Greenwich Bake Sale – Greenwich Kmart from noon to 3:00pm
 
This is being run by a group of individuals who never knew Jaliek, but have come to care about finding him.  None of them knew each other before Jaliek disappeared.  These very generous volunteers got to know each other through a television station blog about Jaliek.  The1500+ posts to the blog created a common bond between them.  In an effort to contribute to the public’s awareness about Jaliek’s disappearance, they have each asked friends and families to contribute to the bake sale they are holding that will raise funds for that purpose.
 
Community Search for Jaliek – All Day
 
In an effort to cover as much area as possible, we are asking everyone who lives, works or frequents the areas from South Troy to Greenwich and all roads in between to search their own properties, especially if they border the Hudson River or Batten Kill River .  Search the areas of your favorite fishing holes or hiking trails.  If you see anything suspicious, back away and do not touch anything.  Contact the Greenwich Police as soon as possible on 692-9332.
 
Concert – Jaliek’s Journey Home
“A Musical Jam for the Missing”
7:00pm

Schenectady County Community College

This concert is sponsored by the Student Activities Office of SCCC.  It features The McKrells, a very popular, internationally known Celtic Bluegrass band and the Capital Pride Singers.  Admission is free.  A free will love offering will be taken at the event to support efforts to find Jaliek and to raise public awareness of Jaliek’s disappearance.

PI on Jaliek Rainwalker Case

Private investigators focus on Rensselaer Co. in search for Jaliek

RENSSELAER COUNTY, N.Y. – Police and family members aren’t the only ones looking for Jaliek Rainwalker, who has been missing for 5 months. A pair of private investigators who work for Mission Possible Investigations are usually hired for their work. But since January, they’ve been volunteering their services, putting in dozens of hours looking for the boy.

Private investigator Stacy Jones said, “We’ve been investigating any leads in our search for Jaliek.”Some of those new leads have led them to search in Rensselaer County.

Friday

I’m back from a short vacation in Las Vegas.  Sadly, the weather isn’t the same here in NY. 

While I was away I did manage to keep up with our local news and saw that remains were found in Menands the other day.  From what I understand it was a female torso, no head or limbs, and it could take a couple of weeks before she can be identified.  My first thought was Denise Hart and how sad it is that we the public haven’t heard anything on her since she was first reported missing.  Why isn’t more being done in the media on these stories?  The Capital District has quite a few missing people and more needs to be done to find them.
