Decision not to seek teen's body ignites anger, agony

find this young lady for her family sake. houston has the resources.

if she was white you would look until you found her remains.

harris county sheriff's officials are only looking at the money and how much harris county would have to pay out in labor. if it was one of the children they would look until their remains are found.

public please pray for tynesha stewart and her family.

thank you,

If you read the article carefully though...you'll see that only once has this method ever worked..and that was in Utah..now imagine how much larger Houston landfills are than ones in Utah...it would be very unlikely that they'd find her. We're talkin' 40,000 tons of trash here. Can you imagine sifting carefully through so much trash? Plus what if the suspect is lying? Did he really even put her parts in garbage bags or did he dump her somewhere else?

You would think that they could specifically ask him what area of the landfill he was in and only (at least) search that small area. I'm sure her family would like to give her a proper burial, instead of her laying in a heap of garbage. geez !!

Houston officials have done an about face and reversed their initial decision not to search the landfill/landfills for missing Tynesha Stewart.

Authorities in Houston have approved spending up to $500,000 to search area landfills for the remains of a Texas A&M student whose ex-boyfriend confessed to killing her.

The request comes after angry complaints about the decision not to search for the remains of 19-year-old Tynesha Stewart, who disappeared last week.

Officials reversed their initial decisions to not search the landfills due to cost and improbable outcome of not finding her due to pressure and complaints brought up by black local leaders and activists. Personally, the Houston officials were crazy for not going forth with this search from the outset causing racial unrest especially when volunteer search team Texas EquuSearch had stated they would conduct the search at no cost.

Investigators reconsidered after several high-profile complaints from US Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, state Representative Sylvester Turner and community activist Quannel X.(KWTX)

However, the plans go forward to begin the search for Tynesha Stewart as soon as possibly Wednesday.

Plans are underway to conduct a series of searches for Tynesha Stewart, the Texas A&M coed believed to have been killed by her ex-boyfriend. However, those searches may be difficult after word that the 19-year-old’s body may have been dismembered and spread out in landfills across the region.


The volunteer search organization Texas Equusearch announced Friday it was set to launch an extensive search for Stewart. The search could begin as early as Wednesday said Texas Equusearch founder Tim Miller.

On Monday the sheriff’s office, Texas Equusearch and the landfills’ operator Waste Management will meet to go over a plan. Already an area of a landfill in Atascocita had been marked off in preparation for a search. The same was being done at a landfill in Brazoria County. Miller already put out a call for volunteers.(KHOU)

I very recently read where there were some potential matches of one or more of the young girls from the League City Killings Fields, I cannot find it now and am told that the post was removed. Being a father of........ I am very upset that this was removed, why? It can only make one wonder as to the why. An identification of anyone anywhere under these curcumstances is of utmost importance to a family not to mention the police. I went back to find the post to see if I could in some way help as I have some means by which to do so and to learn that it was pulled...there is no word to describe this type censorship and while this is an intenet forum, the thwarting and obstruction of justice committed by whoever pulled that article is outrageous and gold plated apathy.

Hey Curious father, Shoot me an email and I'll fill you in. I'm the one who posted about the potential match. I don't know why it was removed either,
