I wanted to follow up on a few posts we’ve made here regarding the missing person cases of Christie Wilson & Geneva Brewer.
This morning’s homepage on News10.net (while second to Christie, again, and probably not even up for long) updates us on the Geneva Brewer case. Turns out that just being missing isn’t enough anymore to warrant a search party or even a search, like, at all.
Sacramento County Sheriff’s investigators said their initial investigation turned up no evidence of foul play and they do not consider Brewer an at-risk missing person. However, her family believes that her disapperance (sic – which should just be changed to “news10”) is enough evidence to show that something is very wrong.
So let me get this straight. The only difference between the disappearance of these two women is that one liked to gamble (security footage showing her leaving with the now murder suspect)? Because both families consider their loved one missing and are asking for help.
And now Wilson’s search party (mostly volunteers) uncover a “bondage kit” in the woods?
Malim characterized the find as highly unusual for the remote wilderness area.
Highly unusual? If YOU were going to enjoy some bonding with someone and needed some privacy wouldn’t YOU head to the remote wildnerness? Doubt housekeeping would bother you at just the wrong moment. But, I digress.
And lastly, while Brewer’s life depends soley on the handing out of flyers on street corners, we learn that Placer County Crimestoppers is now offering $35,000 for information that leads to her (Wilson) recovery. Ugh. And her stepfather is just hoping to recover her dead body.
Boyd said the family is now focusing on finding Wilson’s body. “We need to have her back so we can have funeral and bury her,” he said. “I don’t think you can ever rest easy until you can say goodbye properly.”
(bites tongue about the caveman typo) I guess what I’m saying is that I can’t help but put myself in the shoes of the Brewer family. The authorities are basically telling them she’s not missing against her will. And they disagree.
With a bit more press I bet some better leads would turn up.

any assisstance your article can generate is greatly appreciated by our family and hopefully others whom have expressed sympathy for our plight will make calls or send e-mails of contempt for this very imbalanced searching and reporting of Geneva’s disappearance. Again we thank you your thoughts and prayers strenghten us in this trying time for us.

Did anyone else catch this? Missing Rio Linda woman Geneva Brewer has been found. She was visting family in Arizona the whole time. (Too bad she wasn’t meeting with other people with her same name, because then it would be a Geneva Convention.)
(CBS 13) RIO LINDA, Calif. A Sacramento woman who had been missing since last October is back home with her family.
31-year-old Geneva Brewer was apparently visiting family in Arizona. According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s department she returned home in early March.
Brewer’s family reported her missing in October. She was last seen when she dropped off her foster children at school and had plans of driving to the bank to cash $4,000 dollars in checks. At the time, Geneva cared for three foster children, two of which she was in the process of adopting.
Brewer’s family had been critical of law enforcement, saying they did not think officers were doing enough to search for the missing woman.
�This is not like her. She wouldn’t just leave me like this. And like leave the kids?” Geveva’s sister Marvale Young told CBS 13 last November.
The Sacramento Sheriff’s department responded by saying even though Geneva’s disappearance was out of character, there was nothing to indicate anything suspicious.
