Jameika Porch was abducted from her grandmother’s home in Chattanooga, Tennessee at 1708 Tunnel Boulevard. in the middle of the night on August 14, 1994. She had been sleeping in the same bed as her eight-year-old cousin when someone came in and carried her out through the window, without waking her cousin. Tim Carroll of the Chattanooga Police Department says they initially looked at it as a missing person case, and a possible abduction. "The grandmother woke up, and the child was missing, she thought, she just assumed that her daughter had come to pick the child up." Chattanooga police immediately launched an all out search for the girl, using dogs, and search and rescue teams. Investigators later learned that Jameika had actually disappeared from her bedroom sometime in the early morning hours of August 14th. The girl's aunt, who also lived there, heard noises in the house around 5 or 6 in the morning. Whoever took Jameika may have come in through the back door, where a window payne could be removed near the door knob. Police say it was a well known way to get into the house if you didn't have a key. In the days and months that followed, national exposure of the case brought in tips from across the country. Despite the information, the searching, and help from others like the F.B.I., none of the leads panned out. Then on October 21st, 1999 A worker from a tree trimming service had found it at 1548 Riverside Drive, at the Riverside Industrial Park. Police brought in Cadaver dogs to start searching the area. The next day, a class from the Chattanooga Police Academy helped find the rest of the remains. Authorities have recovered about 60 percent of the skeleton with the help of cadaver dogs, he said. "Given that the bones may have been there for five years, that's about what you'd expect," he said. "Bones can be displaced over time by dogs and other animals or flooding," he added D-N-A proves it was the body of Jameika Porch, according to Police Lt. Tim Carroll. "It was ruled a homicide. It was a ligature strangulation, and you know, that's terrible a 4 year old, a 4 year old child being murdered that way." All these years, the big question remains: who killed Jameika Porch. Police have potential suspects, but not enough to make an arrest. That's why Lt. Carroll says investigators need your help. Genetic experts are testing a skeleton discovered two miles from where a pajama-clad girl disappeared from her grandmother's house five years ago to determine if it is the missing child, police said. A Hamilton County forensic anthropologist has determined that the bones belonged to a 4- or 5-year-old child of African descent, and the bones have been sent to a private lab for verification, said Chattanooga police spokesman Ed Buice.

UPDATE:

I finally got a tip on this case via email on this case. The tipster told me that they was at someone's home and was told that young Jameika Porch was sold to settle a drug debt. Now I would like to find and talk to the girls mother Joyce Porch as word has it the is was she herself that sold the child for it was she that had the debt. I was told by this same tipster that the cousin was not asleep but saw someone pick Jameika Porch but due to not have her glasses on could not see clearly.

Also thanks to an Anonymous post to this post I know that Joyce Porch was a know user of Crack Cocaine.

Murder of Joshua Lee Walden

On Friday December 8th, 2000 around midnight Johnny Walden and his Wife Ann Walden reported there son Joshua Lee Walden missing. Josh was last seen wearing a red shirt and black jeans while riding a 20 inch Magnum bicycle which he had painted with a dull red paint. Before he went missing Josh was seen several places around the neighborhood riding on his bicycle but was last seen on the 4500 block of Fourteenth Avenue near him home. Friends, neighbors, and police search or two day but the search came up empty. On Sunday, December the 10th day Josh’s brother Jonathan Walden and some other boys were playing in a wooded area off the 3100 block of Sixteenth Avenue on the western slope of Missionary Ridge discovered the the body of young Walden about half a mile from his home.

riday December 8th, 2000 around midnight Johnny Walden and his Wife Ann Walden reported their son

The body was found laying in a depression in the ground and was covered in leaves. An inspection of the body found some superficial abrasions on Josh’s nose as well as on the right side of his face other then those abrasion there were no signs of trauma to the body nor where there any sign of a sexual assault. Also a chemical was found on and an under the body as well as on some nearby leaves. The one odd thing that was noticed about the body is that the shoes and socks were missing.

Tests later revealed that the chemical was an acid that is historically known as Muriatic acid. The acid is also known as Hydrochloric Acid or HCI. This is a strong inorganic acid which is made by dissolving hydrochloride in water. This acid used for things such as cleaning metal, concrete, pickling steel, the production of organic compounds, the production of inorganic compounds, the controlling and neutralization of ph, the Regeneration of ion exchangers, leather processing, building construction, and in household cleaning. When one is handling this acid they need protective gear such as rubber or PVC gloves, eye goggles, and chemical-resistant clothing and shoes.

It has been about twelve years now and this boys killer has yet to be brought to justice. The news media has made a number of reports in the years since the boy's murder. In one they report on how some years up till 2008 someone kept a small memorial at the place were the body was found. The latest news report was in August of 2010 where it was talking about a man by the name of Earl Teague who is now looking into the cold case murder. In the report it says Teague has looked over the police and autopsy reports, made and put up posters, and has talked to tipsters. Teague says that he started out with a list of 19 suspects and he now has it down to one person. That person is a known sex offender that was living in East Lake at the time on the murder. Mr. Teague’s case is centered around a house that once sat on the corner of 39th street and 14th Avenue that burned down just days before young Josh Walden was murdered. The people who lived in the house said that they had given their son's smokey clothing to a man in the neighborhood.

 

Someone out there knows what happened all those years ago. Someone has the answers to the mystery. Some people out that may have the missing pieces of this puzzle of who killed this small boy and I ask anyone with any info about this case no matter how small to please contact me at dark.ghost.0001@gmail

UPDATE:

Well I am now working on a list of people I would like to talk to about this cause.

Crystal Walden the boy's sister

Dallas Cecil Walden the boy's brother

Johnny Cecil Walden Jr the boys father

Now I am not sure where the brother and sister are but I do know that the father has moved to Flintstone GA.

I would also like to talk to the boy's friends, neighbors, his teacher and classmates. Now I do not have any of those names yet but I hope to and will if I just keep digging.

UPDATE:

 

Thanks to an Email tip I have made contact with Joshua Lee Walden's sister. I hope that she will help me and not just turn me away due to me being an RLSH. I want to and will find this boy's killer and see that he goes behind bars cause there is not statue of limitations for murder.
