Image hosted by Photobucket.com16-year old Janet Quijano was last seen in Tompkinsville, Kentucky, Wednesday morning waiting for her school bus. Her reported disappearance triggered an Amber Alert (see my previous post here).

Her father's sister-in-law, Marta Besarto, says that when she saw Janet she was already sitting in a red van.

Janet's father, Tiburcio Quijano, says the he recognizes one of the names on the police suspect list (Salvadore Perez) as a friend of the family.

Besarto, however, says that the driver of the red van was not Perez, but someone else who she knows.

The initial Amber Alert stated that "she was abducted by five Hispanic males in a red minivan or SUV while waiting for a school bus."

All this seems garbled and confused to me. Why can't the sheriff's department issue a clear statement of the facts along with a photograph of Janet? I can only hope that somebody in charge of the investigation knows what they are doing and that somewhere, Janet Quijano is alive and well and on her way home to her family.
