HOAX ALERT! Please pass the word regarding this missing child. DO NOT PASS THIS ON! Michael, didn't you read further down? (See below.) Also, check out the Urban Legends page before perpetuating this stuff. urbanlegends.com I've received this as a mail message about six times this weekend. This stuff is as bad as a virus. ===================== Sorry folks, after creating this page I received this message Afraid this alert is a hoax. Read the following: Guide's note: This alert first appeared on Oct. 12, 1999 with a photo of a blonde female child attached. Some recipients were immediately skeptical due to the lack of specific information, such as the exact location of the incident and a contact number for the local police who would have been handling the case. Searches of Minnesota newspapers failed to turn up any stories about a missing child named Kelsey Brooke Jones. Police and missing persons databases showed no record of her disappearance and the alert was initially labeled a hoax. However, it now appears that Kelsey Brooke Jones does exist and went missing for approximately two hours on October 11. She was recovered unharmed, according to a statement from Missing Children Minnesota: Thanks for checking with us about Kelsey Brooke Jones. The staff at Missing Children Minnesota has carefully and diligently researched and investigated this case only to discover that Kelsey was indeed missing - FOR LESS THAN TWO HOURS! When the family noticed her missing they put out the e-mail you received. What they did NOT do is send another message that Kelsey had been FOUND! We are asking that folks not continue to forward the e-mail, and to notify their friends, family members, and e-mail buddies that there is NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. Thank your for your concern -- and for your caring. On behalf of the children, Taylor Wilcox, Case Manager Missing Children Minnesota The above information was confirmed by the Minnesota Crime Alert Network. Whether the alert was a hoax or real, it now serves no useful purpose. If you receive the "Kelsey Brooke Jones" email, please do not forward it further.
