Everytime this article comes on it breaks my heart.... Here is her pic... I know you are 1300 miles away, but you never know in this day and age... Pray for her and for her family. TIA

Did you guys hear about this? I can't see the grandfather having anything to do with her kidnapping but then again I am naive and like to think the best of people.

Missing girl’s grandfather has old arrest record
No sign that he has any link to 9-year-old's disappearance, however

HOMOSASSA, Fla. - The grandfather of a missing 9-year-old girl has admitted to police that he was arrested a half-century ago for attempted rape and planning a kidnapping.

Officers say there is no sign that Archie Lunsford had anything to do with his granddaughter’s disappearance but are not ruling him out as a suspect.

Jessica Marie Lunsford hasn’t been seen since Feb. 23, after her grandmother tucked her into bed at the family’s home, about 60 miles north of Tampa.

Lunsford confirmed to detectives that he had been arrested three times in the 1950s after investigators found his record while checking the backgrounds of the grandparents and the girl’s father, Citrus County Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said. The Lunsfords and their son and granddaughter live together.

Archie Lunsford said Indianapolis authorities arrested him in 1954 on a charge of planning a kidnapping during what he described as a custody dispute. He was arrested again in Indianapolis four years later for assault and battery. In 1959, authorities in Titusville, Fla., arrested him for attempted rape of an adult woman.

Lunsford told detectives he was never convicted, but Dawsy said the difficulty of finding old criminal records meant he could not immediately confirm the stories.

Her poor family. I hope they find her!

I hope they find her soon.
