The Prosecutor and I have sat down several times discussing our unsolved cases. He told me when I met him for the first time that he would bring our cases to light and wanted me to know, personally, that he will not forget my family or any of the other families and will do his best to get some of these cases solved. So far, he has kept his promises where the cases are involved. 

This is the first of a series of ads he is running on Facebook for the month of the anniversary of each unsolved victims' passing. You can also check out the Prosecutor's Facebook page 

PLEASE!! If you have any information, call the Tip Line (you can remain anonymous) or the Police Department listed in each ad, and even if you have given the information to previous Detectives/Prosecutor's, etc., remember that we have all NEW people that may or may not have received your information so please call and give it to them again. 

SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING about each and every one of our cases.

Today, January 14, we remember Mr. Irvin Keefer of Glenmoor who was murdered in an apparent robbery of his business on this date in 1976.

While decades have passed, this case is not "closed." Anyone with information regarding the homicide should contact St Clair Township Police at 330.385.3585 or our office's tip line at 330.420.1050.

Please keep Irvin and his family in your thoughts and prayers today.

Let's talk about human trafficking

 

I came across this site that I think you may find interesting. 

Human Trafficking is a booming industry but there are a lot of myth's associated with it. It is very real and in our communities, yes, even here in Columbiana County. It happens everywhere and it is important to understand the red flags if you believe someone may be a victim of trafficking. 

Truck drivers need to pay close attention and are often witnesses to another trucker engaged in trafficking. 

I was contacted by Jacob Bryant who worked very hard on this project to design information to keep people informed. Please check it out here.

How to Report Human Trafficking if You Think You See It

If you see signs of human trafficking, you should never try to deal with it independently. Instead, report it by calling the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1 (888) 373-7888. A single phone call can go a long way toward creating significant change for the victims of human trafficking. You can also visit the National Human Trafficking Hotline website to learn more about reporting signs of human trafficking at truck stops across the United States.

Try to collect what information you can about human traffickers, from their vehicle to their appearance. Do not, however, approach traffickers directly. You should not engage in commercial sex acts or other behaviors that could place you in danger, even to gather more information.
