I didn't know Melanie but I have been following this story since it happened. It breaks my heart that Melanie has not been found. I am baffled by the police not solving this case. Regardless of what she "may or may not" have been into Melaine is someone's mother, daughter, granddaughter, niece, sister, cousin......her family needs answers. PLEASE if anyone knows something give this family peace......give them something they can tell her children. PLEASE!!!!

Today is the 6th anniversary of Melanie's disappearance, and the mystery will continue as long as ONE basic contradiction in material witness testimony is allowed to go unchallenged. Put the two versions on the polygraph machine of who was in Melanie's van when Melanie stopped briefly to talk with a long time acquaintance, both sources are old enough to testify to the truth, and the truth will come out. Either the then 9 year old was in the van on Midland or she wasn't (before 8 AM, before the Day Care Center drop off)...This matters, the whole time line is screwed up by this discrepancy..and why KCSD is allowing this blatant contradiction to continue is beyond explanation. Melanie and her kids deserve better.

Please attend our facebook event u dont have to be present....we need all the help we can get......Thanks Sandra (Melanies grandmother)

Given the amount of time Melanie spent the day before she disappeared- trying to get so-called friends to commit to spending that fateful day with her, given the fact that both of these ladies were strong armed into silence, who knows, maybe even the very day she disappeared, given the fact that her so-called boyfriend knew that by 6PM Melanie was missing, and given the fact that this same excuse for a significant other was either unavailable or refused to help look for her the evening she disappeared, given the fact that credible witnesses saw her van, if not her, at the Campbell's Creek apartment and on the West Side- the day she disappeared, given the fact that Melanie did not want to be alone, totally alone, the day she disappeared, it is no wonder she kept the 9-year old of the three children with her until the last possible moment. It all fits together. The only question to this day is why this nine year old refuses to step forward with the truth of what happened, if anything, between the Day Care Center and her grandma's place, and why this one on one time with Melanie, to this day, intimidates her into silence and worse. It appears that Melanie was stalked, and was the victim of either jealousy, vengeance, anger or bad debts called in. Too many people were involved with the cover-up of making Melanie disappear and making her van look like she abandoned it in West Charleston- too many people for this to have been a random act of violence or abuse. Whatever happened to Melanie was well planned, and whatever the 9 year old knows might or might not add information to what we already know. So I wish KCSD would just start over from the beginning, with fresh eyes and no "hands off" as to who they interview and/or interrogate. Melanie deserves much much better than what has been done so far .

Harlie how old are you now? wasnt you like 3 when all that happened? How can you possibly remember anything?

The best I can remember she dropped my niece off between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM. I was planning an outing to Water Ways that day with one of my best friends and her family and wanted to take my niece with me. Melanie seemed fine with that and even asked me if I needed her to run back to the apartment to get a bathing-suit for my niece. She didn't seem in a hurry only a little excited to be getting on with her nursing stuff.

yes this is to blair , how are you? i was wondering if melanie mentioned just what her plans where that morning when you seen her or where did you see her?
