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 .

Harley was 9, Melanie's two youngsters were too "young"to remember, but it is amazing what they are starting to and still remember from that fateful day that forever changed their young lives. Those children will soon be old enough to look people in the face and ask why are they saying things that aren't true...and people will really listen to Melanie's children when they begin to talk, very soon.

Okay, i was one of the last people to see melanie because she dropped me off at my Grammy's house . we came right from my house to grammys, and my dad didnt do ANYTHING to mel . infact , he loved her with everything he had . & STILL DOES , and i take it very offensive that you people , well some of you people can sit there and say that what I told the cops was coached to me , and that someone made me say what i said . I love melanie sooo much , she was like a second mom to me , and my dad loved the fact that i had her to help me and him . and she loved the fact that my dad was doing the same with ryan hannah and nathan . & me and my family are wishing where she is just as bad as anyone else , and i dont think people should be saying the things they are saying about my daddy and me . i think we all need to just get together and talk about it , and really see what the heck happend . this is tarring me apart seeing and hearing what people are saying about me and my daddy . ):

I obviously don't feel comfortable telling ya'll who I am. I don't think that I would be received on here very well. At least, not by what I have seen on here already. I am Jarrett's youngest sister. I talked to Melanie when she dropped my niece off that morning at my mom's house. She told me that she had to go down to WVSUIT for some schooling stuff, something about her transcripts and classes. When she left my mom's with H and N in tow, she seemed like normal Melanie. That is all I know and that is the same information that I gave to the police.

Today was the first time that the police ever talked to me since Melanie went missing. I don't know that I was able to give them any useful information, but maybe I did. The police  have also and are talking to more people that I know. I am hoping that whatever new lead they are working on will lead us to closure.
One thing that we need to remember is that we don't know what happened to Melanie and accusing innocent people will not get us anywhere. We need to think about the last time we saw her, which for me was the morning of July 19th 2006.

I don't know anyone involved in this case but I seen someone talking about jason holstein I went to beauty school with him and talked to him some he always did seem like there was something off with him and almost two years ago he was involved in a murder maybe now that he will be in jail for sometime its a good chance to see if he really does know something he has nothing to lose now just trying to help god bless her family I hope she is found and someone brought to justice

i hope and pray for her safe return. what happened to mel.
