STATUS: ENDANGERED MISSING PERSON
If living or traveling in somewhere notorious for kidnapping, however, you might want to remember the following:
- Be wary of anyone who asks too many questions regarding your income, residence, professional and family situation. Not that you should get paranoid when making smalltalk but if it sounds like a list is being made then it’s possible you’re being sized up as a hostage candidate.
- If living somewhere high-risk like Mexico City or Medellin, change your route into town on a regular basis so that your movements becomes that extra bit unpredictable and you become harder to apprehend.
- Avoid making large payments by credit card as big spenders find their way onto kidnappers’ wish lists in a hurry. I’s a cinch for them to get hold of sensitive information as informants looking for a commission are everywhere.
- If you’re passing through a country that’s experiencing civil war or is notorious for bandits, travel only by day and preferably in company.
10. Haiti – Being the least developed country in the Americas, it’s only natural that the Haitians make up for their low income with kidnapping. Furthermore, 80% of the population is living in poverty and over half of the country’s inhabitants are illiterate. Haiti remains an unsafe place to visit, even considering the presence of the UN stabilization force. Kidnappers and street gangs are thriving in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince. The targets include rich Haitians, diplomats, aid workers and, of course, foreign tourists. If you’re willing to leave that aside, Haiti is a place of colorful art, fascinating traditions, vibrant music and spiritual people.
9. Iraq – Made by the Sumerians and Babylonians the center of the ancient world, Iraq has been under turmoil since the American’s invasion in 2003. It doesn’t come as a surprise, considering the widespread civil violence, that Iraq isn’t one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations. Violence and kidnappings occur on a regular basis and are mainly aimed at foreigners. Once the home to the most ancient civilizations, Iraq is now a place where several distinct forces are competing for control.
8. Afghanistan – Once known as the center of ancient empires or, in recent years, as a country with a great backpacking circuit, Afghanistan has been experiencing a lot of turmoil in the wars that have been waging for over 25 years. Presently, several areas of the country remain unsafe for travelers, particularly during the NATO-led operations against the Talibans and Al-Qaeda. Attacks targeting foreigners are ever frequent, especially suicide bombings concentrated around foreign embassies. Visitors are recommended to avoid gatherings, avoid travel alone or at night. Afghanistan presently has one of the most volatile situations.
7. Chechnya – Ever since the Russian Empire collapsed in 1991, the southern Russian has been marked by the conflict between the Chechen separatists and the Russian forces, thus reducing almost most of the province to sad ruins of a long war. Rich in petrochemicals, natural gas and oil, the country’s economy and infrastructure have been experiencing a serious crash, due to the ongoing conflicts. Leaving that aside, Chechnya has a surprisingly beautiful mountainside, with its mineral waters making it a great spa center.
6. Nigeria – Africa’s most populous nation has a fascinating mixture of over 200 peoples that, coupled with an unstable economy, often leads to a volatile situation. You might also remember the country from the multiple email scams circulating the internet in recent years. According to news reports, over 200 foreign oil workers have been kidnapped in the Niger Delta, most situations being resolved with a ransom. Travelers are required to vaccinate against yellow fever, while there is also a high risk of infection of AIDS/HIV or malaria. Furthermore, armed gangs and kidnappings are on the daily menu for areas such as the Bakassi Peninsula, Bayelsa or the Delta.
5. Philippines – The archipelago consisting of 7,107 islands is a fascinating, laidback natural paradise, with friendly, engaging people. But there’s a reason we included Philippines among the countries most likely to get kidnapped. North Cotabato, Mindanao, Zamboanga peninsula, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi and the Sulu archipelago are just a few areas that a traveler should necessarily avoid. Apart from the usual robberies and kidnappings, foreigners also risk having a drug put in their drink that knocks one out immediately. Tourists are then either robbed, raped or have their kidneys taken. 10 hours are needed to wake up from the drug and another 3 days to remember what happened
4. Venezuela – With some of the most spectacular landscapes and the longest waterfall in the world, Venezuela truly is a sight not to be missed, if you’re willing to leave aside street crime, kidnappings or political turmoil. If not, know that street crime is present on a daily basis throughout the country. Tourists in Venezuela are the easiest target for pickpockets so try to look like anything but a tourist. Don’t wear jewelry, watches, avoid unfolding maps, taking pictures and stay away from poor areas. To avoid problems, simply stay in the touristic areas.
3. Colombia – National parks, high mountains, cruise boats or soaring skyscrapers are just a few of the numerous attractions Colombia has to offer. Even though it might same like an untroubled paradise, Colombia has its fair share of drug dealers, robberies and kidnappings. Even though safety has improved in recent years, Colombia still suffers from high kidnapping and homicide rates in urban areas. The extra violence is provoked by the guerrillas which operate mainly in rural areas – the places to be avoided are the border areas with Ecuador and Venezuela.
2. Brazil – The largest country in South America, teeming with beaches and untamed forests, Brazil is one the most vibrant and colorful places on the continent. As with the other countries on the list, the downside is the street crime present in big cities, where attacks against tourists have become frequent. Apart from the usual kidnappings, there are also a high number of muggings so simply leave your valuables at the hotel and take with you only a small amount of money. To top it all off, Brazil experienced an increase in the number of yellow fever and dengue fever cases, so be sure to have your shots before entering the country.
1. Mexico – With a mix of modern city life and a reminiscent ancient civilization, Mexico is one of the liveliest, yet most dangerous countries on the list.

Tangena Hussain
[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/6a8d95b1330a.jpg[/atsimg]
Age 3
Missing since: 10/2/08
The case according to AMW:
Young Girl Allegedly Disappears From Motown Gas Station
On the evening of Thursday, October 2, 2008, cops say 2-year-old Tangena Hussain disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
The child was reported missing by her mother's boyfriend, Jamrul Hussain. Though they share the same last name, the girl and Jamrul are not related.
Jamrul alleges that he stopped at a gas station shortly after 9pm to fuel up, buy some gum and pick up some juice for the small child. When he went into the store at 9:02 p.m., that's when, he says, the girl vanished into thin air, the purported victim of an abduction.
Surveillance video verifies Jamrul's story about what he was doing at the time of the girl's disappearance, but much to the dismay of investigators, there is no video evidence of what happened to little Tangena.
Mere moments later, after leaving the store at 9:06 p.m., Jamrul hurried back in, claiming that Tangena was no longer in the car.
Identify: Tangena has a scar on her upper lip/chin area from a burn.
Last seen: Detroit, MI

There has to be a common marker among them.
Were they all vegetarians?
Were they all meat eaters?
Were they all sick with some similar disease?
All of these people, the children, have one thing in common...
...their parents...
Who are the parents?
They are people, who either because of overworking, not being careful enough with their teaching to their children about predators, or quite simply were most likely someone who should never have bred to begin with.
The body of Neveah Buchanan, the 5-year-old who went missing almost 14 days ago was found in River Raisin in Southeast Michigan.
According to police reports the body of the 5 year old girl was found by a fisherman, Guy Bickley, who is 51 years of age. Following the discovery of the body, Bickley immediately called up the police authorities of the small town that is about 35 miles from Detroit.
