Event: 8 years Missing - April Beth Pitzer

http://www.facebook.com/events/165570030241395/

Please join us in remembering April with a moment of silence, words of comfort for her family, prayers and or dancing on the beach.  However you'd like to honor her memory and show the world that she is loved, she is missed and she is important. 

Donations to the Kristen Foundation would also be appreciated in April's name, so that we can continue to fund trips for Gloria to go out to California to do physical searches for April each year.

She has been missing for 8 years on the 28th.  The facebook event is not a physical event and everyone is invited.  Feel free to invite others also. 

For more information about April please go to: http://kristenfoundation.blogspot.com/2012/06/april-beth-pitzer-2004-newberry-springs.html

Among the Ghost of Yesteryear.. A Poem by April's Mom Gloria.

Among the Ghost Yesteryear

by Gloria Denton on Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 2:04pm ·

Among the ghost yesteryear
By Gloria Denton

No candle, no cake, no happy Birthday song.
April Beth, you’ve been missing way too long.

Again today, I will stare at your pictures on the wall.
I beam with pride for you and stand six feet tall.

Lord, how much longer will this go on,
It’s been almost eight years, and I recall the first day she was gone.

Why does she have to be missing year after year?
Oh Lord, give her back and dry away my tears.

It was just a few short weeks ago,
I saw the picture for the very first time, an image forever painted in my mind.
Taken deep beneath the sands in the desert town of Ludlow.

Standing was a dusty handmade wooden cross, all I could do was stare at it and cry.
Around the base was a perfect circle of rocks. As I looked at this all I’m thinking is Why? Why?

At the bottom of a cold dark mine, buried with the ghost from yesteryear.
Stands this cross and several clues they left behind. Were you already gone or taking down by overwhelming fear.

So once more we will take out the shovels and picks,
Bucket by bucket, we’ll sift through the sand, as I sit at home watching the clock as it ticks.

I ask you Lord, to come sit and hold my hand, while I sit at home waiting on the phone to ring,
I’ll reflect on memories, especially this special day.
I turn to you Lord for comfort, by faith I do cling.
Without you, I could not walk down this saddened pathway.

Every time I left there, I knew I was leaving you,
the emotions overcame me every time I left. Satan’s mocking words,” in death you failed April too”.

Oh Lord ease the pain within, remove Satan’s net.  If nothing else, I know one thing that is sure, today was the happiest day holing you in my own childlike arms.
My love for you was beyond measure and perfectly pure, your little face was the porcelain made charm.

Today I love you even so much more, I thank god for the time we shared together.
My love for you is unconditional that’s for sure. And I will cling to Gods promises this won’t last, but one day we will have forever!

Please Help! Last official search by the SBSD

From Gloria Denton (April's Mother)


I learned today that the SBSD will not fund anymore searches for my beautiful April.  They say that they do not have the resources.  This comes a week after my Lead Detective said she was getting a warrant to dig up the yard of a man who was a person of interest in 2004 after April first went missing.  The original detective failed to gain access back then and no one ever went back.

They have new information pointing the Sheriffs office to this location, but they do not have the funding and resources to do anything about it.  They want me to sit on my hands and wait for someone to "stumble up on her"!

So what I am begging from you all is to help me with three things:

A GPR
A backhoe and someone who knows how to operate it
10-20 volunteers to assist with the sifting and sorting

Please call me to coordinate at 479-774-2410
I still do not have internet access regularly, so please contact me via phone.


Please send any donations directly to the Kristen Foundation at:

2330 Bonnie Butler Way,
Charlotte, NC 28270

Thank you all in advance. Also, if the least you can do is forward this message I would be eternally grateful.  Any and all help is appreciated!
