Jahi Turner

[BirdieBoo]

As of today, the San Diego District attorney has announced that there will be no charges in the Jahi Turner case. They had a suspect (which I assume is Tieray Jones, the stepfather) but insufficient evidence. This is really sad.

San Diego homicide detectives were so frustrated with the district attorney's decision not to charge the stepfather in the disappearance of 2-year-old Jahi Turner that they contacted the state Attorney General's Office, authorities said.

For precious Jahi

Good grief, is the mother still with that man????

Penny Thompson, Jahi's maternal grandmother, who lives in Frederick, Md., said she was initially upset about the decision but has calmed down and understands what authorities are doing.

Attempts to locate Jones and the boy's mother were unsuccessful. Thompson said her daughter, who recently had a child, has been transferred to another city by the Navy. She said her daughter has the child with her.

I just don't understand how so many little children just vanish into thin air, neevr to be seen again. Its so frustrating, I can't even imagine the pain families have to go through. :(

I pray that one day we find out what happened to adorable little Jahi.

For this beautiful little boy, and all who miss him, so much.

Praying for you Jahi, Lanie

OK, this stinks. This case has always bothered me so much. Something just isn't right here and it makes me angry. It just seems like the search/investigation was dropped way too soon. So sad.

Hi Carla--
The step-dad's story stunk from the very beginning. He went to get a soda and when he returned, Jahi was gone? First of all, who leaves a child that age alone, even for a few minutes? Then, it turned out that Jahi was never even on the playground, remember? How the hell do you search for a while, give up then say no charges filed--case closed? :waitasec: :waitasec: Where was the uproar--I mean, there are others who have been missing for years and decades and they are still being searched for. Why is Jahi different??

I wonder what the status of his marriage to Jahi's mother is. I was amazed that she stayed with him after Jahi's disappearance, and one of the articles above mentioned that she had another child and they were in some other state together. Tieray's true colors keep showing up, and I'm sure that eventually he'll end up in jail for killing somebody or another, but I sure would like to see him go to trial over Jahi's disappearance.

They never quit looking for Laci.. Why stop looking for Jahi?

[sharon25]

The last time I read anything on this case was that they had found the woman who was supposedly in the park at the time of his disappearance. Did they actually find her??? What did she tell them??
Where could this precious child be??
And is the mother still With the guy that they think killed Jahi????

Sorry for so many questions!! I've looked through and haven't found any answers yet

Jahi's stepfather is in jail in Frederick, Maryland, awaiting murder charges. She is not with him anymore, according to a 3/1/2005 article in the Post. Read somewhere else she had another child...

"On Jan. 24, Frederick police closed a nearly 41/2-year-old homicide case with the arrest of Tieray D. Jones, 26, who was indicted on second-degree murder and other charges in the August 2000 shooting of John Earl Hill Jr. Authorities in California say he also remains a suspect in the disappearance of his former girlfriend's 2-year-old stepson, Jahi Turner, in San Diego in 2002."

From what I understand, they don't ever expect to find a body...They classify cases in the computer system with:

Missing person, homicide possible
Missing person, foul play, no body
Homicide, no body possible
Homicide, victim unknown

They classify them that way so they aren't searched for in the computer system...These are usually cases where a body has been put in wood chipper, incinerator, or something where remains aren't going to be found.
