Chicago Woman Still Missing

2007_09_24_franklin.jpgNailah Franklin is still missing today, but her car was found in Hammond, Ind., over the weekend. Now police are searching the Lake Michigan shoreline, too. According to the Trib, "Police found Franklin's vehicle near an abandoned building in Hammond on Friday night, and on Saturday searched a pond at the River Oaks Golf Course in Calumet City. [Franklin's sister] said personal items belonging to Franklin and found near the pond prompted the search, which ended without finding anything more." For creepily frequent updates, the Crime Blog seems to be the go-to spot.

According to the FBI, there were over 100,000 active missing persons records as of December 2006. If you've seen Nailah Franklin, call the police. Here's the full missing person flier.

Hundreds are searching for this woman. I hope they find her.

Guest 1,
You missed two keywords, "get registered" and "domestic violence against women"

Creepily's such a lousy way to describe the updates over at crimeblog.us. God forbid you ever have a loved one vanish, and are at the mainstream media's mercy when it comes to getting the word out, getting the picture out, keeping that person in the spotlight, and God forbid somebody ever have to rely on you to do it, being that updating 3 or 4 times over the course of a few days is so creepily frequent, in your eyes. Tsk tsk....

Thanks, Spook, I forgot those.

Here are some more:

cubbies!, cta, doomsday, whole foods, vegan, evil republican

WOW after reading in Crime Blog about this young lady I MUST SHARE WITH YOU.

THERE IS A MAN, Known only to me as "Iceman John Scully", he has harassed me and my family FROM THE SHADOWS FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS.

He would HANG OUT IN AN ABANDONED HOUSE! Next door to me, and he was really creepy.

He loved BLACK WOMEN..but it seemed he loved to hurt them. His sociopathic behavior has been very disturbing. The fact that this young lady and I share a couple of Myspace friends, totally makes me uncomfortable, because the MANIAC recently called my home. He was attempting to convince my husband that he was being harassed by me.

HE THRIVES OFF OF FEAR AND IS COWARDLY OTHER WISE.

ON THE PHONE HE STATE "I went to every friends page and she had posted a comment about me stalking her" He is not one of my friends, and my page is private. This HACKER I forgot to MENTION HE IS A HACKER!!! Hacked my page and told about it.

The fact that she got threatening messages, and the computers were missing, and the guy was on myspace looking through my friends list and might have come across this woman who he could terrorize because maybe she was AFRAID.

JOHN SCULLY SHOULD BE LOOKED AT I BET HE WAS OUT OF TOWN ACCORDING TO HIS NEW VICTIM...HIS NEW WIFE!!!

YUCK!!!

OMG!!! These 5 post are DONE by the SAME PERSON.

HIM!!! THE PERSON WHO TOOK HER!! OR HAS HER>>>OR KILLED HER!!!HOLY CRAP THIS IS THE SAME THING THIS SOCIOPATH DID ON THE BOARDS I MET HIM ON. He'd post something then answer his post. THE FACT THAT HE CALLED HIMSELF SPOOK???!!

WOW...and is answering himself...example. THE MANIAC always corrected or made corrections to something. And is so excited by HIS CRIME that he is even saying things like "she is fine"!!!

LORD...Well John unless you KILL TONIGHT THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST IN JESUS NAME YOU FINALLY DID IT TO THE WRONG PERSON(ALTHOUGH EVERYONE IS THE WRONG PERSON)and now your WIFE WILL SEE YOU GO TO JAIL.PRAISE JESUS!!!!

Hey guest seven. Hope you’re having fun at the expense of this unfortunate woman and are able to use her sad plight to enjoy yourself while her family grieves. And isn't it just grand to be able to hide behind guest?
Your mother must have been a real wack job to have produced you. Loser

Hello John,


You "spook" you must be so PROUD OF YOUR HANDY WORK AS YOU SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE PAIN AND SUFFERING OF THIS FAMILY!!!

You can play your games but the more you right, the more YOU SHOW YOURSELF.

Must feel real good to and ICEMAN like yourself.

YOu know how I feel about you....and all it takes is to show up HERE while I'm alone...and we can get IT POPPIN!!!

It has 20 gages.

COWARD!!!

Your so BRAVE YOU MAKE YOUR POOR MOTHER PROUD!

By the way...YOU KNOW MY NAME JOHN you called my house, have BROKEN INTO MY HOME...you know me.

Can't wait for you to be removed from this planet and the lives of everyone you've harassed.

YOU WILL SEE ME.

Look how SPOOK= JOHN SCULLY KEEPS COMING BACK TO SEEK OUT HE PAIN OF THE PEOPLE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE THE COMPUTERS??? FEAR why did you POST THE MESSAGE ON HER COMPANIES BLOG about if the COMPANY CAR AND COMPUTERS HAD A TRACKING DEVICE?

ANSWER: SO YOU COULD STEAL IT AND KIDNAP HER IN THE COMPANY CAR SO YOU WOULDN'T BE TRACKED. NOT EVERYONE IS AS DUMB AS YOU ARE.

SO GRoSS I can't wait for you to get caught. NOT EVERYONE IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS CORRUPT!

YOU WILL BE CAUGHT. THIS IS THE CASE....deal with it. SPOOK!

come on guest 11. Now is the time to put the cherry on top. Say something else pointlessly stupid about this. What do you have to lose you coward? Some me how in your mind, its all o.k. to make fun of this?

GOD SHINE LIGHT ON THE PERSON WHO COMMITTED THIS MURDER!! Lord Jesus you said that this is your world and you control everything in it and WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK SHALL BE SEEN IN THE LIGHT. YOU ALSO SAID THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER ALLOW THE DEVIL OR HIS HELPERS TO THROW A ROCK AND HIDE THEIR HAND.

IN JESUS NAME I DECREE THAT JESUS WILL SHOW THE MURDERER OF NAILAH FRANKLIN'S TRUE IDENTITY AND THAT MAN WILL NOT BE PROTECTED BY THE CORRUPT POLICE OFFICERS OR THE OTHERS IN HIS NETWORK ASSISTING IN THE MURDERS OF ANY MORE WOMEN PAST PRESENT OR FUTURE.

KEEP YOUR PROMISE LORD JESUS AND GOD ALMIGHTY...CONTEND WITH THOSE WHO CONTEND WITH US.

YOU SAY FEAR NOT. I FEAR NOT. YOU SAID YOU TAKE CARE OF THOSE WHO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.

FRET NOT THYSELF BECAUSE OF EVIL DOERS NEITHER BE THOU ENVIOUS BECAUSE OF THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY. BECAUSE THEY WILL SOON BE CUT DOWN AS THE GRASS AND WITHER AS THE GREEN HERB!!!

THE ARMS OF THE WICKED WILL BE BROKEN. PSALMS 37.

I WILL SEE WITH MY EYES THE DESTRUCTION OF MY ENEMIES...AMEN.

YOU WILL SEE ME.

BLESS THE SOUL OF NAILAH FRANKLIN, WE THANK HER FOR SACRIFICING HER PHYSICAL BODY SO WE MAY REVEAL THE IDENTITY OF THE SERIAL KILLER AND HE WILL BE STOPPED, EXECUTED, BE NO MORE.

AMEN.

EEINNA!!!!

THIS IS A GAME ONLY TO THE MAN WHO KILLED HER>

AND THE GAME IS JUST ABOUT OVER. FOR HIM.

IN JESUS NAME.

HOW IRONIC THAT THE PERSON CAME BACK TO THIS PAGE JUST TO SAY ANYTHING>>>ANYTHING...ONCE HER BODY WAS FOUND.

WOW.
