Missing Child: Kelsey Brooke Jones

Subject: URGENT!!! 
Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1999 12:46:07 -0500 (CDT) 
I am asking you all, begging you to please forward
this email on to anyone and everyone. As most all of
you know, I have a 5 year old daughter named Kelsey
Brooke Jones. We are from Southern Minnesota. She has
been missing since 4pm Oct.11, 1999. The police were
notified shortly after. If anyone anywhere knows
anything, sees anything, pleeeeaaaase contact me if
you have my number. The police don't recommend I put
my number online, but you can contact the Police, a
missing persons report has been filed. I am including
a picture of her. All prayers are appreciated!! Thank
you, Amy 
 

Guide's note:   This alert first appeared on Oct. 12,
1999 with a photo of a blonde female child attached.
Some recipients were immediately skeptical due to the
lack of specific information, such as the exact
location of the incident and a contact number for the
local police who would have been handling the case.
Searches of Minnesota newspapers failed to turn up any
stories about a missing child named Kelsey Brooke
Jones. Police and missing persons databases showed no
record of her disappearance and the alert was
initially labeled a hoax. 

However, it now appears that Kelsey Brooke Jones does
exist and went missing for approximately two hours on
October 11. She was recovered unharmed, according to a
statement from Missing Children Minnesota: 

Thanks for checking with us about Kelsey Brooke Jones.
The staff at Missing Children Minnesota has carefully
and diligently researched and investigated this case
only to discover that Kelsey was indeed missing - FOR
LESS THAN TWO HOURS! When the family noticed her
missing they put out the e-mail you received. What
they did NOT do is send another message that Kelsey
had been FOUND! 
We are asking that folks not continue to forward the
e-mail, and to notify their friends, family members,
and e-mail buddies that there is NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. 

Thank your for your concern -- and for your caring. 

On behalf of the children, 

Taylor Wilcox, Case Manager 
Missing Children Minnesota 

The above information was confirmed by the Minnesota
Crime Alert Network. Whether the alert was a hoax or
real, it now serves no useful purpose. If you receive
the "Kelsey Brooke Jones" email, please do not forward
it further.
