The little girl was last seen with 21-year-old Juan Mendez, believed to be her uncle.

A sedan with New Jersey plates, which police believe belongs to Mendez, was found abandoned with the doors open on the Gregory Avenue Bridge over the Passaic River a short time later.

Police divers have recovered a body, and officers have confirmed the identity as that of Jafiya Rivas.

Divers, police dogs and a helicopter continue to scour the area for Mendez.

Do not understand. The family members let this nut case leave with their daughter? Minimum Manslaughter or Negligent Homicide charges against any who had responsibility for the welfare of this victim.

There is so much evil in this world. Kind of makes me wonder if there are more bad guys than good guys.

Numbers are irrelevent. The power of the Light is infinite, while the greatest darkness is still only a shadow ever vulnerable to exposure.

He planned on murdering the little one.

Wonder what the bleeding hearts will have to say.

Damn him to hell.

diamond6,
This is I’m sure a stupid question I’ll get around to but:
My brother in law is a lawyer here in Florida.
He and I have talked (while sitting along the banks of his Suwanee River home)about the Florida bar.
Though there are about 40 percent conservative Republicans that are members, the bar spends vast amounts of money on liberal baby killers and dems.
Is this how things are in Calif too? The minority can kiss off? And as in any union they can take your dues and spend it on crap you do not support?
