Brittney Beers DOB :Aug-01-1991 Age :16 years Height : 4' 0" - 122 cm Weight : 45 lbs - 20 kg Eyes :Blue Hair : Blonde Circumstances : Brittney was playing outside of her family's residence at Village Manor Apartments in Sturgis Michigan during the evening hours of September 16, 1997. She went outside to ride her bicycle at approximately 7:30 p.m. Brittney's mother, Tina Stetler, left to run errands at approximately 8:30 p.m. and saw her daughter riding her bicycle around the neighborhood at that time. Brittney's half-brother told authorities that he saw his sister sitting on a bench about five minutes after their mother departed. A witness told investigators that he saw Brittney speaking to an unidentified male driving a red or brown mid-size vehicle shortly thereafter. Brittney walked over to the witness and told him that she "made a new friend." Brittney has never been seen again. She was wearing a white tank top with a floral design, pink shorts and white tennis shoes with a pink design on the sides at the time of her disappearance. Brittney's shoe laces had a red stripe down the center. She often wore her hair pulled back into a ponytail at the time she disappeared. Stetler returned home at approximately 9:05 PM and asked Brittney's brother to find her. The authorities were summoned when the child could not be located near the apartment complex, which is located on US 12, the major thoroughfare through Sturgis. Brittney's bicycle was discovered abandoned shortly after she was last seen. Sketches of the unidentified man seen speaking to Brittney were distributed through the area in the days following her disappearance. It is not known if the man is connected to her case. He was in his late twenties or thirties with short dark hair and a thick moustache and was driving either a mid-sized red car or a brown Renault. Police are still looking for the man; he is not being called a suspect but a witness whom they would like to question. Michigan courts removed Brittney's siblings from the family's home in 1998 after allegations of child abuse and neglect were issued. Brittney's father, Raymond Beers; his brother, James Beers; and Kevin Folsom, the father of one of her half-brother, were allegedly involved in the abuse of the children. Folsom is now in prison for molesting Brittney. Her case received more publicity in 2000 after the arrest of a Michigan man who had child pornographic images saved on his computer. One of the victims resembled Brittney, but was later determined not to be the missing girl. Brittney's case remains open and unsolved. Date Missing :sep-16-1997

"Our nation has made this commitment: Anyone who targets a child for harm will be a primary target of law enforcement. That's our commitment. Anyone who takes the life or innocence of a child will be punished to the full extent of the law." President George W. Bush, October 23, 2002 ********** "We cannot, and we will not, tolerate those who seek to abuse or exploit our children." Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, April 20, 2006 *********** Guided by the leadership of the Attorney General, Project Safe Childhood (PSC) aims to combat the proliferation of technology-facilitated sexual exploitation crimes against children. The threat of sexual predators soliciting children for physical sexual contact is well-known and serious; the danger of the production, distribution, and possession of child pornography is equally dramatic and disturbing. The response to these growing problems must be coordinated, comprehensive, and robust. It must aim to investigate and prosecute vigorously, and protect and assist victimized children. At the same time, it must recognize the need for a broad, community-based effort to protect our children and to guarantee to future generations the opportunities of the American dream.
