Police seek girl, 3, snatched by mother
LINDA REILLY, Times Correspondent06/10/2005
UPPER DARBY -- Police have joined the search for a missing
3-year-old girl taken by her mother, who does not have custody of the
child. Jackie Nancy Jacobs, 3, was last seen by her aunt, whom she was
visiting on Sunday at an apartment on the first block of South 69th
Street.
An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for her mother, Inga Cece Selli,
34, of Bristol.
The child’s father, Adolphus Jacobs, 33, of Philadelphia, who was
awarded primary physical and legal custody of the little girl last year,
reported the abduction to police and has engaged in his own search in an
attempt to locate the child.
According to Detective Lt. George Rhoades Jr., a missing-person flier
has been prepared and distributed to area police departments in hopes of
locating the girl.
"We checked the mother’s apartment in Bristol and she hasn’t returned
there," Rhoades said. "We are not sure if that is her true residence.
She may be going from friend to friend’s houses. We believe she took the
child knowing she did not have legal custody, and she has not contacted
the father or the police."
Selli and Jacobs, who both previously resided in Upper Darby, were not
married to each other when Jackie was born.
Jackie has resided with Jacobs and his wife for more than a year.
"She goes to pre-kindergarten in Upper Darby," said Jacobs, a
sixth-grade teacher at a Philadelphia middle school. "I drop her off
every morning on my way to work and me or my wife picks her up.
"I last saw Jackie on Sunday," he said, noting he stopped to see her at
the aunt’s apartment where she had spent the night before going to
church.
"Her mother stopped by and sat in the living room, talking and asking
how Jackie was doing. My sister went into the kitchen and (Inga) ran
down the steps and got into a car. She left a car seat and her cell
phone. I called the police.
"Nobody seems to know where she is. She has not contacted anyone we
know. The family is very shocked and surprised and worried."
According to Jacobs, the child’s mother was only permitted supervised
visitations due to her alleged mental instability and violent history.
"I’m scared what she is capable of doing," Jacobs said.
Selli is facing charges of interference with the custody of children and
concealment of the whereabouts of a child, a felony offense.
Anyone who knows where Selli or her daughter can be found should call
Upper Darby detectives at (610) 734-7684.

Natalee Holloway reported dead
Caribbean sex-trafficking threatens women on vacation
The other missing American woman: same Aruba nightclub linked death of
Holloway teen to missing Bradley woman seen in nearby Curacao island
brothel
by Tom Flocco
June 11, 2005 1:00 AM Eastern --
TomFlocco.com -- With the Associated Press breaking the news
last night at about 11:45 pm Eastern that one of the three incarcerated
suspects has reportedly given a statement to police regarding the
alleged death of missing 18 year-old high school student Natalee
Holloway, U.S. news outlets said earlier that the search for the Alabama
beauty had already extended to other islands and mainland South America
where police officials were contacted.
One of the three men, unidentified at this time, who said "something bad
happened to Natalee Holloway," will reportedly lead authorities to
Holloway’s body sometime on Saturday morning, according to the
Associated Press, CNN and Fox News--at the scene of the teen’s death
near the California lighthouse‘s Arashi beach.
While the tragic death of Natalee Holloway--missing in Aruba since May
30--tops news headlines, congressional response to kidnapped 23 year-old
Amy Lynn Bradley’s now seven-year plight since 1998 indicates little is
being done to prevent global sex-trafficking of vacationing
females--taken from cruise ships, island hotels and bars for sale to
South American brothels as sex slaves.
The presence of numerous unregulated and unrestricted "gypsy boats"
sailing in and out of Aruba and Curacao’s ports to market produce and
"other commodities" from the South American mainland [some 19 miles to
Colombia and 35 miles to Venezuela] provides the means to abduct
women--even as high-speed Colombian cigarette boat drug-runners also ply
Caribbean island waters and seaports heavily frequented by American
families.
It used to be different--before the age of international political
correctness and off-shore, bank-laundered narcotics currency for
congressional campaigns, derived from ill-gotten gains of lawless
Caribbean and South American drug factories and bordellos.
In 1821 U.S. Marines went in and cleared out the Caribbean of pirates
regardless of which country’s waters and islands were sought as refuge
after plundering American shipping. The Marine hymn extols exploits
"from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli," where campaigns
to attack and defeat the Barbary pirates of North Africa proved the
United States would go anywhere to protect its citizens.
Aruba’s Carlos and Charlie’s bar linked the two missing American
women
Iva Bradley, mother of Chesterfield, Virginia’s Amy Lynn
Bradley--missing from the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas cruise
ship off Aruba since 1998 and last seen in a house of prostitution by a
U.S. Navy petty officer on the nearby island of Curacao in 1999--was
interviewed Thursday by MSNBC host Dan Abrams.
"We came to find out that the same bar [Aruba’s Carlos and Charlie’s]
that they [three men on her ship] wanted to take Amy to was the same bar
as Natalee Holloway was in." [MSNBC, 6-9-2005]
Curiously, the Bradley-Holloway link is seldom mentioned, save for the
Abrams Report and a CNN report at 5:45 pm Eastern on Friday which quoted
the Bradley family as believing their daughter Amy is "being held in
servitude" somewhere in the Caribbean.
CNN reporter Brian Todd told host Suzanne Malveaux that the Bradleys
said "crew members on the ship [Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas]
were hitting on Amy and wanted to take her to a bar on Aruba." [CNN Wolf
Blitzer Reports, 6-10-2005]
Mrs. Bradley added, "the Naval person who went to a brothel on Curacao
[1999] said that Amy asked him for help, told him her name. She said,
‘my name is Amy Bradley. Please help me.’ He didn’t know she was
missing. He told her there was a naval ship five minutes down the dock
that she could leave."
"But she said, ‘No, you don’t understand. Please help me. My name is Amy
Bradley,’ " said Iva Bradley. At that time, two men in the bar removed
her, told her to move and go upstairs, according to the U.S. Naval
officer.
Two Canadians also told Bradley they saw her daughter Amy on the beach
in 1998, described her tattoos and her demeanor but did not know she was
missing.
Ron Bradley told MSNBC, "...we’ve maintained from the beginning that
someone saw Amy and took Amy from that ship in some way [when it was
docking in Curacao], there are several ways...by boat, through cargo,
the cargo doors that open and close."
According to the Bradleys who alleged cruise ship negligence by Royal
Caribbean International, the vessel’s personnel opened the gangway,
allowed passengers to go ashore despite their pleas to wait, and refused
to use the ship’s public address system to aid the frantic family during
the critical first minutes of the search for their daughter "because it
would disturb the passengers."
Originally, Debra Opri [Michael Jackson family lawyer] told CNN
attorney-host Nancy Grace on Wednesday, "My gut is telling me this
[Holloway case] is part of a transport, a prostitution business with the
country of Columbia. I hear too many stories. I know too many people who
have gone down to Aruba." [CNN-Headline News, 6-8-2005]
"There are many instances where women will go down there, that age, that
type, blonde-haired, and they are drugged and transported to Colombia,
period, bottom line," she said.
Opri continued, "...it may lead to, in fact, Aruba being a way station
for some sort of activity in drugs or prostitution movement to 17 miles
away to a country call Colombia," such was the thinking by informed
attorneys who are aware of sex-trafficking in the Caribbean.
Regarding Amy Bradley’s case, the petty officer was not supposed to be
in the restricted brothel area, so he did not report the incident,
waiting some time until contacting Ron and Iva Bradley to apologize
after seeing Amy’s photo and story in a major magazine.
"I have seen your daughter. I have seen her. I have talked to her. And
she was in trouble, and I apologize for not doing anything about that,"
the retired officer said.
The FBI has not called Bradleys since the initial search for their
daughter, offering an ominous warning to American taxpayers expecting
assistance from federal officials.
Iva Bradley told Abrams that "Venezuela, on a good day from Curacao or
Aruba, is in sight. We have been told by investigators, there are boats
incoming. They come and go freely...there is a tremendous drug
trade...so we’re putting our families and our children in danger, and
because they [United States government] say they have no jurisdiction,
it hurt us terribly, and it hurt Amy. And we’re not gotten the help that
we need."
Night-time beacon for drug and sex-trafficking boats?
According to Fox News reporter Rick Leventhal, three young men recently
arrested by Aruba authorities on suspicion of kidnapping and/or the
murder of Natalee Holloway said they drove the Alabama high school teen
on a 15 minute ride to Aruba’s well-known Arashi Beach next to the
California lighthouse at the north-end of the 19.6 mile island. While
the Holloway death confession has not yet been released, this beach is
likely the site of the crime.
Worldwide news reports say bartenders from Cancun to Aruba to Jamaica
regularly spike the drinks of unsuspecting women with drugs such as
Rohypnol (roofies) and GHB (Liquid Extacy) for the purpose of
"date-rape," but reports also indicate the increasing use of narcotics
to place women in a submissive state to move them into position for
transportation to Caribbean island and South American brothels for
indefinite periods for use as drugged prostitutes in known white slavery
rings.
Leventhal said last night that the hotel manager of Aruba’s Holiday Inn-Sunspree
Resort and Casino where Holloway stayed reported that all hotel security
cameras were working properly.
But they do not verify the claims of the three men who said they
returned Holloway to the Holiday Inn after driving her to the California
lighthouse where one of the three said he "made out" and "was intimate"
with Holloway while she was "intoxicated," according to Leventhal.
The evidence indicates Holloway never made it back to the Holiday Inn
before failing to show up for her morning flight; moreover, the Alabama
teen was unable to refute testimony destroying her moral reputation as a
victim.
Other news reports also said Holloway was intoxicated; however,
date-rape drugs are known to exhibit symptoms where individuals seem
extremely intoxicated after consuming only a small amount of
alcohol--more than the amount would warrant.
American FBI agents watched as Aruba authorities allowed the three men
from wealthy and influential families to go free for 10 days without
impounding their car and knowing that they were the last individuals to
see Natalee Holloway alive.
Late at night, Aruba’s California lighthouse could easily serve as a
beacon to guide boats to the deserted beach to quickly drop off and pick
up narcotics--but news show guests intimated that submissive females,
possibly drugged by bartenders or other patrons at a popular club like
Carlos and Charlie’s could be victims of sexual transport.
"Spotters," paid to watch for attractive women on vacation as potential
sex slaves could guide them into a bar to be drugged and then out into a
waiting car and boat for transportation to mainland or island bordellos.
It is likely that Aruba authorities and FBI agents have also inspected
phone records, bank accounts, evidence of narcotics residue on cash,
wire-taps and area tourism crime records involving the owners and
employees of Carlos and Charlie’s or the incarcerated men.
Natalee Holloway’s tragic and untimely death will undoubtedly serve as a
warning to parents who allow their inexperienced young people to travel
outside the country; however, evidence indicates that Amy Bradley is a
victim of sex slavery in the Caribbean--perhaps as tragic as that which
befell Natalee Holloway, but Ron and Iva Bradley's daughter can still
come home if they can only find her.

Man Says 'Something Bad Happened' to Teen
Jun 11, 10:47 AM
ORANJESTAD, Aruba - Police investigating the disappearance of an
Alabama honors student in Aruba arrested a man at dawn Saturday, hours
after one of three young men already in custody admitted "something bad
happened" to the woman after they took her to the beach.
It was unclear if the 6 a.m. arrest was related to the admission. The
same team of officers who arrested five others in the case during the
past week went to a home just outside Oranjestad, the capital, and came
out with a handcuffed man who looked to be in his 20s.
Saturday morning, police refused to comment on the arrest or say if they
had discovered anything overnight that solved the mystery of what
happened to Natalee Holloway, 18, who was last seen in the early hours
of May 30.
Late Friday, Deputy Police Commissioner Gerold Dompig told The
Associated Press that the man who made the statement was leading police
to the scene. He refused to identify which of the three young men who
took her to a beach the night she went missing made the statement.
The three young men arrested Thursday - two Surinamese brothers and the
17-year-old Dutch son of a high-ranking island judicial official - were
expected to appear before a judge Saturday, government spokesman Ruben
Trapenberg said. Authorities have refused to say on what grounds they
were being held. The judge would decide whether police have sufficient
grounds to continue holding them.
Police also have detained two other men - former security guards at a
hotel near the one where Holloway was staying. No one has been charged
in the case.
Island-wide searches by Aruban police, Dutch marines and hundreds of
volunteer islanders and tourists continued Saturday, Trapenberg said.
Holloway's mother, Beth Holloway Twitty, is feeling the strain, her
brother-in-law told the AP as prosecutors prepared to make a statement
Saturday morning.
When asked whether she was holding up, Tom "Jar" Twitty said, "No ...
She has had amazing stamina up until now, but ..."
The women in the family remained sequestered in their hotel rooms while
the Twitty brothers stood in the lobby, looking stressed amid a gay
scene of tourists pouring onto a brightly colored bus outside
advertising "Xtreme Party Cruise."
Holloway, vanished during a five-day trip to the Dutch Caribbean island
with 124 classmates and seven chaperones celebrating their graduation
from Mountain Brook, Ala., High School, near Birmingham. Police found
her U.S. passport and packed bags in her hotel room after she failed to
show up for her return flight that day.
Holloway's family continues to believe she is alive, Tom Twitty said.
Rumors that she is dead are "an aggressive interpretation" of what
police are saying, he told The Associated Press.
Prime Minister Nelson Oduber said on national radio Friday night that if
something happened to Holloway, it would damage the reputation of this
island of 97,000 people, which depends on tourism and is considered one
of the safest spots in the Caribbean.
In Holloway's hometown, her friends gathered after midnight at a church
where people have been holding prayer vigils for her. Some hugged and
cried; one woman left a flickering candle at the base of a wall
decorated with messages to Holloway, who had earned a full scholarship
to the University of Alabama, where she planned to study medicine.
Antonio Carlo, an attorney for the Dutch minor, told The Birmingham,
Ala., News: "I believe my client 100 percent, and I believe there is no
probable cause" for his arrest.
Holloway's mother and stepfather told the News they discovered the Dutch
boy's connection to their daughter within 24 hours of her disappearance
by talking to other students on the trip. They then found surveillance
videotapes showing him playing poker with other Mountain Brook teens in
their hotel casino two days before she vanished.
A lawyer for one of the Surinamese - Satish Kalpoe, 18, whose brother,
Deepak, 21, also is in custody - said they told police they took
Holloway to Arashi Beach, on the northern part of the island, in the
early hours of May 30.
According to their police statement, they did not get out of the car,
defense lawyer David Kock said. Instead, Holloway and the Dutch teen, an
honors student at the Aruba International School whom she had met at the
casino in her hotel, "were in the back seat kissing."
They also told police that they dropped Holloway at her Holiday Inn at
about 2 a.m. and last saw her being approached by a man in a security
guard uniform before they drove off, Kock said.
The brothers told police the blond, blue-eyed young woman was drunk and
refused to get out of the car, said Noraina Pietersz, who is
representing Nick John, 30, one of the two former security guards. He
and Abraham Jones, 28, have been detained since Sunday.
The three young men said Holloway stumbled in the parking lot of the
hotel but refused help from her Dutch escort, Kock said.
Holiday Inn employees say security cameras did not record Holloway's
return. A Holiday Inn guard who worked the overnight shift that day said
he did not see her, said Pietersz, who said she reviewed the guard's
statement to police.
Associated Press reporter Jay Reeves in Mountain Brook, Ala.,
contributed to this report.
