Kirstie-Raie went missing on January, 17th, 2006. She is believed to be with the young man pictured above. His name is Josh Long. The following is information her mother gave to me.

Kirstie-Raie Ward went to school on Tuesday, January 17th at 7:45 and has not been seen since. She was dropped off at Temple High School with her brother by their father. Apparently she got into a car with her friends Ashley McElroy (who has a suspended license and was STILL allowed to drive and had a valid parking permit at high school) and Cody Walker (who is just re-enrolled in school from being expelled for drugs) to skip school and go to her boyfriends home .. Josh Long. By 8:30 am her mother and father knew and were searching for her. Sometime between 11 and 11:30am her friends Ashley and Cody returned to school. Thankfully enough they told the administration that KR was left at Josh's home. When the Carroll county police went to the Long residence (2590 Mandeville Road Temple Georgia) with her mother (Roxanna Ward) they were told that yes they had been there and had left in a Gold Neon. A million things have happened since then and I'm more than willing to tell everybody the tiniest of details. But these are the highlights ...we tried for 5 hours to report her missing but Douglas county and Carroll count fought over who would file the paperwork. even the GBI would not help. FINALLY when Douglas County came out to file a report they were wonderful!!! rumor has it that they went to Alabama to get married and found out that they couldn't. Then things got bad for Kirstie-Raie. She is believed to be with Josh Long, Cody Walker and Zack Walker. All three boys are minors with a long police record. A few of them are possible on probation and in violation of that probation since they are missing.Josh's mother refused to report him as missing because "he'll come back". Cody and Zack's parents can not be found.A few of her local friends have been telling people that they know she is safe. However one of the friends in particular is a 14 year old girl that has ranaway with Cody Walker before and is believed to be covering for somebody. Kirstie-Raie only packed enough for 2 days .. she has been gone for 5. We believe she is in way over her head and have a reward for any information that leads to her whereabouts. We as her parents simply want her safe and at home. We are scared for her safety because of the group of people that she is with. We have every reason to believe that although her intentions were to run to Alabama, that she wants to come home and can't. Her cell phone is off and has not been turned on since Tuesday, however she told her contact friend that we had it cut off. We believe that she may not know that we did not turn off the cell phone and have been trying to call it every 5 minutes for 5 days. Josh's mother is recently out of jail and may be on parole. We are certain she know the whereabouts of her son and our daughter and since he has not been reported as missing .. this leads us to believe that she is hiding something for her son. They have no car and neither have their drivers license .. so SOMEBODY is helping them!!!!We know for a fact that Josh came back to school after dropping out ONLY to see Kirstie-Raie .. we have letters and notes from him that prove this. EVEN more reason to believe that he is doing something to keep her from returning home.We are DESPERATE for somebody to help us find our daughter. TOOO many things are not adding up for this to just be another simple teenager runaway. She is in danger and we need her home and safe. We've started a reward fund and it is literally growing by the second!! The reward fund was started by virtual strangers. Roxanna (me .. Kirstie-Raie's mother) is a member on a Children's Clothing Boutique on eBay and THOUSANDS of members are helping in every way possible from donation their money to donating auctions to help with the money and search, Podcasts, and a webpage for Kirstie-Raie will be going up soon thanks to an on-line parenting community and their support. ANY help we receive will be greatly appreciated!!! The principal of her high school refuses to announce her case to his students .. although that was the last place that she was seen. He even had the missing flyers taken down from around the school. We put her poster on 1-800-THE-LOST and it as mysteriously disappeared. We are getting help from the police, however they donĂ‚’t see the danger that we know she is in. We canĂ‚’t seem to get ANY real help other than the police and we just want our little baby home safe!
