Wow! What a great idea! I will circulate. LETS EXPOSE THIS HUMAN TRAFFICKING!

Just stopping by to show a bit of support...I know how frustrating this search must be.
In my prayers,

mammabear

PLEASE HELP ME. My Canadian daughter, Jessie Foster, born in Calgary, AB and raised mostly in Kamloops, BC went missing from her home at 1009 Cornerstone Place, North Las Vegas, NV USA (who goes missing from their home??? on this, I have to add today, I have been corrected: Drew Kesse, father of missing Jennifer Kesse kindly reminded me that a lot of people go missing from their homes...just as my Jessie and their daughter Jennifer did) on March 29, 2006.

Jessie's case is in the hands of the Serious Crimes Division with the RCMP and she is an endangered missing person with the North Las Vegas police. Jessie's case info is also in the hands of ATLAS (unofficially - as without someone to come forward and testify in court...Jessie is not 'officially' a human trafficking victim). ATLAS is the Anti-Trafficking League Against Slavery task force in Las Vegas. They get every single bit of info that goes to the police. There is also a human trafficking office in British Columbia who has been informed of Jessie's case and the Edmonton Police Service is very well aware of who Jessica Foster is and also who Donald Vaz is (the person who took my daughter to the USA and the person we believe who is involved in what happened to Jessie after that).

Jessie's story has been told on the Geraldo Rivera at Large show on April 24, 2006; on the Maury Povich show on October 11, 2006; on the Montel Williams show on May 24, 2007 and updated on July 8, 2008. These shows have also been shown repeatedly over time. Her story has been told in dozens of newspaper articles and on TV & radio news and it is all over the Internet - just try Googling her name - you will get pages and pages of 10 links each with nothing but stories about my missing daughter. Go to www.google.ca or www.google.com and using quotation marks; type in: "missing Jessie Foster".

Jessie's story came out last year in a Canadian book by author Lisa Wojna called: MISSING! The Disappeared, Lost or Abducted in Canada. Her story will also be told in another book: info TBA. And there is a cookbook coming out that will have stories of the missing with the recipes and Jessie's story will also be in that book.

Even reporter Sharon Ward with the National Enquirer did a story about Jessie’s disappearance – giving us the opportunity to tell Jessie’s story to many, many new people who have never heard her story yet – putting their email address for tips at the end of the story. They did not just do a story...they did an appeal for Jessie. We were very grateful for this. The September 2008 edition of the Oracle 20-20 magazine has also printed info on Jessie’s case - LINK: http://www.oracle20-20.com/magazine/2008/0908/first_person.php.

Jessie's story was going to be told on the Dr. Phil show, but I do not know what has happened with that. I still hope to hear back from them. And the Steve Wilkos show was interested in doing a show about Jessie's story, but decided to hold off on it...I also still hope to hear back from them.

For more info on our case, we have a lot of available. Our website is: www.jessiefoster.ca and we have a NowPublic site: http://members.nowpublic.com/jessiesmomglendene, a MySpace account: http://www.myspace.com/jessiesmomglendene, I have a blog: http://jessiefoster.blogspot.com/, I am the human trafficking moderator for Chris's Crime Forum: http://chriscrimeforum.freeforums.org/human-trafficking-f89.html and a Facebook account: http://www.facebook.com - (just search "Missing Jessie Foster" since we have had 8 of their accounts disabled - plus I know of other missing person advocates who have had their Facebook account disabled).

I do NOT stop my search for Jessie even for a day. If I am not talking to people about her case, I am sending messages to people to try to get more help. Whether it is from the police, the public, the media or an investigator. We pretty well talk to anyone who wants to listen. We fundraise to keep the investigation going and to have a reward. We have a $50,000 reward now; thanks to Jessie's father Dwight adding $40,000 to the $10,000 we raised. We will also continue to fundraise and we will continue to raise the reward if we need to.

WE NEED TO FIND JESSIE. She has me, her step-dad Jim, 3 sisters, 1 niece (just born on December 26, 2007) and I another of her sisters is due to have a baby December 28, 2008. JESSIE NEEDS TO BE FOUND...her sisters and their children need her, I NEED HER. Jessie also has her dad & step-mom Tracy and 2 step-sisters. They both are married and one has 3 children & one has 1 child. Jessie has only met 1 of her nephews & nieces. Jessie also has her grandpa (my dad), her grandma (her dad's mom), her step-grandpa (Jim's dad) and her step-grandma (Tracy's mom), numerous aunts, uncles and cousins...way to many to even try to name, for fear of missing anyone.

Jessie is a very popular person...during elementary and high school Jessie was always involved in sports, dance, work, family & friends. She has hundreds of people who know and love her who are waiting for her return and THOUSANDS of others who have come to love and pray for Jessie every day. WE NEED TO FIND JESSIE.

Thank you for your time, Glendene Grant.

You Can Kick Her but You Can't Keep Her Down by CJaye

NOTE from Glendene about author:
This was written by a true friend and supporter in our search for Jessie. CJaye, AKA: The Video Lady-she makes videos for families who need help making them, just because she can. CJaye has been here for me for practically the entire time Jessie has been missing, we have never met in person, YET. Hopefully one day we will get that chance.
_________________________
Glendene Grant, she’s a mother, wife, grandmother, and friend just to name a few. In the little over two years that I’ve known Glendene I think she’s probably the strongest Lady I know. She has good days and bad days but how could she not when her daughter has been missing for two and a half years. Jessica Edith Louise Foster moved from Canada to Las Vegas, Nevada to live with friends and start her new life. Jessie got more than she bargained for. She moved in with Peter Todd he and Jessie became boyfriend and girlfriend. For all visual purposes Jessie seemed happy and in love with Peter Todd. Little did her family know Peter Todd is a pimp, he had put Jessie out to work for him. We still aren’t sure if she was forced into prostitution with possible threats to her family or not.

Can you imagine having to send your DNA to possibly ID a DOA that was found in Texas? I lost my father to murder twenty-two years ago. He was missing for seventeen days before he was found. I thought I would go crazy in those days. To have to submit DNA to identify my loved one would have put me over the edge. Thank God it wasn’t Jessie! Glendene has been on a rollercoaster ride for this time. This is just one of many things to test Glendene’s strength. There are days Glendene gets so overwhelmed by everything that she is paralyzed. It’s an overwhelming heaviness that comes over you and all you can do is ball yourself up in the bed and cry. Most people call it depression I dislike the word myself since I’ve lived with it for twenty two years. Days and days go by and you’ve heard nothing which makes things worse always thinking the worst.

I remember when I first met Glendene. She saw that some of the others site of missing loved ones had hundreds of hits some thousands. Donations were large and the website it’s self set up really nice. Glendene didn’t think Jessie’s site would ever have so much publicity or hits. I told her it all takes time and Jessie’s site would be the same soon. Still Glendene being a wonderful mother that she is wanted more publicity on her daughter’s case. Let me just say the Las Vegas Police weren’t doing anything. Glendene didn’t roll over and play dead she was like the Ever Ready Bunny she went to every talk show, magazine and newspaper that she could get through to tell Jessie’s story. Then she set up websites on every bog site and networking site you can think of. She’s a powerhouse I’m telling you right now.

Glendene has had to confront the US and Canadian officials due to the amount of times she had come into the United States to look for her daughter. These officials thought Glendene was sex trafficking. They wouldn’t let her into the states. OMG can you believe that! I was so upset when Glendene told me that. Nobody cared that her daughter was missing, or possibly sold to human sex trafficking. My question is WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? Sorry to be so bold but I just don’t understand. We need Glendene to get back to the United States to help aid in the search for her daughter. Annie, Hookers for Jesus are out walking the strip keeping an eye out. It’s not the same as Glendene being there asking the questions may be ride around check out things talk to the police.

Glendene has been on a rollercoaster ride for this time. Several videos have been made about Jessie’s disappearance. I’ve made a few of them for Glendene as a pay it forward. Comments unfortunately have been left on some that are very ugly. I know they hurt her and I‘ve gotten really protective over her and her family. It makes you wonder what kind of person would say things like that about a person who is missing sold into human sex trafficking. It too makes me think were they hatched from a egg. They couldn’t have been nurtured by a mother or anyone for that matter. I know most of you have seen Glendene’s NowPublic site and her stories about her daughter Jessica.

I want everybody to know what a great person she is and how she’s been hanging on. I want to say one more thing about Glendene. When I first met this sweet Lady when she needed me just as someone did me in my time of need twenty two years ago. It’s hell but now Glendene will be able to give advice and help others out like she is. It just takes that one person to extend their hand and say I want to help you. It’s like I said,

"You Can Kick Her but You Can’t keep Her Down"

NOTE from loyal NowPublic reader in comment to story at 01:51 on August 27th, 2008:
This has truly touched my Heart. I pray for Jessie's Happy home coming to happen soon... I have an awareness page and it bother's me that so many are missing from none other than Las Vegas, Nevada. Mainly females in their teen's or early 20's. Most of which relocated there from some where else with no family tie's in the area.

We can never give up hope or stop searching for those still missing! I do not believe that all cases get enough focus after the initial report of one missing due to lack of involvement in those sworn to protect the community. The families are left to keep the cases from going cold and it should not be this way!

Jessie is so fortunate to have such a fighter for her Mom, one so loving, caring & determined to find her daughter! She is special beyond word's. I do not know if I could have been through all that she has endured in the past two & a half year's and still be as strong as she.

It must be a daily night mare to have your child missing no matter what age. Yet to have one missing knowing the circumstances that may be involved in her disappearance is even more frightening. It sicken's me the State's would treat a Mother of a missing child that is in this Country Missing in the manner that she has been treated!

It is also the comment's you mentioned that were left on your Video's made about Jessie missing.. I just do not understand where the compassion in people have gone! What if it were their Child, Mother, Sister, Friend, Cousin, Aunt? Society today is very scary to live in knowing the type of people that live among us.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful tribute to such a Wonderful Mother & Human Being! I do pray for her, her family & her Jessie's safe return!

Hug's, Karen

=====================================
How Do We Keep Going On Without Jessie

The more I think about it, the harder it is for me to understand HOW DO I KEEP GOING AT ALL WHEN I HAVE A MISSING DAUGHTER. HOW?
I mean, I do know that I still have a husband, 3 other daughters, a granddaughter and a grandson on the way. And they all need me - I know that. And I know that I am not always there for them, even though I do try very hard and I do the best I can for what I have to live with inside my head (and the pain inside my heart that I keep mostly to myself because I know this type of grief would overwhelm most people, my family included...so they do not usually know how much I hurt and cry). It goes on day-after-day, hour-after-hour, minute-after-minute...and sadly, it is now even year-after-year.
BUT, HOW DO I DO IT? I do not have a clue. I do get strength from a lot of places. From parents who have lost a child to death...how do you go to your own child's funeral? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I could never do that. EVER. I would simply loose it. But then, others like my very best friend for over 20 years (since June 1987), BRENDA ROSE did what I could never do. She went to her son's funeral. JAMES ROBERT ROSE lived a lifetime in 16 short years, from July 22, 1986 to August 5, 2002. James was hit by a driver at the bottom of the family's driveway, right in front of her eyes. Brenda saw the soul of her son leave his body and go about 3 feet above her head...RIGHT INTO HEAVEN.
Ever since then, Brenda has said, "at least I know what happened...that he didn't suffer...that I have a place to visit him" - since then she has said many times, the worst thing possible would be to NOT KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILD IS. Then, a few years later Jessie went missing...Brenda's worst fears came true to me. My worst fears came true to her. We comfort each other all the time.
So, I guess the answer is, I go to bed at night, wake up in the morning, do what I can for my family and for Jessie's case, then I go to bed again that night...and so on, and so on, and so on.
THAT IS HOW I MANAGE TO KEEP LIVING WITH A MISSING CHILD.
I LOVE MY FAMILY SO MUCH. I HAVE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. WE WOULD BE NO WHERE WITHOUT YOU ALL AND ALL OUR SUPPORTERS IN OUR SEARCH FOR MY BABY GIRL, JESSICA EDITH LOUISE FOSTER, born: May 27, 1984, missing: March 29, 2006 at age 21, age now: 24.

Thank you for speaking your mind on all of this, you are a strong person. I think it's important that all of this is said and that people hear it. Please feel free to post this (and more) in the forums, where others might stumble across it more easily.

Our thoughts are with you and Jessie.

I hope and pray that someone somewhere will come up with a clue that will bring Jessie back home again. It is horrible that things like this happen in this world. I hope the milk cartons are widely distributed and especially in the Las Vegas and Nevada areas. If anyone out there has seen Jessie or knows ANYTHING AT ALL about her, I implore you to act now and tell her mother Glendene or the authorities what you know. Whoever is responsible for her disappearance needs to be caught and punished. It is encouraging that so many publications and TV shows have given attention to Jessie's disappearance but without the action needed by those who have knowledge of what may have happened to her, it is of little help. What needs to happen is for those who may have some knowledge about Jessie, Peter Todd, or Donald Vaz to step forward and tell what they know. There has to be someone out there who knows something. Please --- if you are that person---PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE---DO THE RIGHT THING.

To Glendene: You obviously love Jessie as only a mother can. Don't ever give up hope. Keep doing what you have been doing--searching for her and doing your best to keep her case before the public. I admire your perseverance and pray that it pays off for you both. Good luck in your search!!!

Thank you for the kind words...they do bring peace to my head.

Dear Glendene,...We have travelled with you through your pain since we first became aware of Jessie's disappearance....I know many, many others have as well. You will never be alone, Jessie will never be alone. Our hearts and souls are with you. Women, strong women, like yourself and your friend Brenda give the rest of us the strength....inspire us to continue to fight for all that is good and right, and expose the evil in this world. We have never met in person, but I feel as though I know you....I am so very proud of you. I know you will stay strong.... C

I'm really sorry. I really truly am. I stumbled across your site on Facebook & saw Jessie's picture & thought... "Hey! I have seen her face before" so I searched online to find out who Jessie is & I came here... I realize now that I have seen her before, on tv, b/c I watch all those shows she's been featured on. I'm in South Florida, USA & I wish you the best. I hope Jessie comes home really soon & God Belss you & your entire family.
