    Kidnapped Girl Found Alive And Well

    Fourteen-year-old Ayvani Hope Perez was snatched from her own Ellenwood, Georgia, home earlier this week by two armed men who broke into the house through the backdoor. The home invasion happened shortly after 2 in the morning on Tuesday where the two criminals shot and killed the young girl’s dog while her mother and sibling were in the house with her.

    Police reported that the mother tried to hide the two children; however, the two men were forceful and demanded jewelry and money. Reports claim that the mother told the two men she did not have money and jewelry. Though the exact chain of events that followed is still somewhat inconclusive, the men did shoot the barking dog and take the young Ayvani Hope Perez from her home.

    Fortunately, the young girl has been found safe only a day after the horrific ordeal. The kidnappers held the girl captive and demanded $10,000 as ransom while they kept her. Luckily for Ayvani this story has a happy ending. The two men responsible for the heinous crime (Wildrego Jackson, aged 29-years-old, and Juan Alberto Rodriguez, aged 40-years-old) have been taken into custody by the Clayton County police, which was reported by Police Chief Greg Porter.

    Ayvani Hope Perez was found in a suburb close to where the home invasion occurred and has since been reunited with her family. Details about her rescue and the capture of the two criminals have not been made public. Knowing that the young girl is safe with her family and able to begin the process of healing from the traumatic ordeal is some of the positive news that has been shared. Collective community involvement was also a factor in ensuring the girl’s safe return. According to Lt. Marc Richards from the Clayton County Police Department, members of the community shared information with the department. “We’ve been receiving numerous tips on various hotlines,” Marc Richards said.

  • George Smitherman Thanks Crowds For Support

    Christopher Peloso, the 39-year-old husband of George Smitherman, has been found alive and is recovering thanks to the police dog named Ranger. Peloso was found curled in a ball near railway tracks located near Dupont Street and Lansdowne Avenue. While Ranger and the police escorts actually discovered Christopher, they were acting on leads and the cell phone signal from Mr. Peloso’s cell phone.

    According to Sgt. Scott Fowlds, “Without the dog, we wouldn’t have noticed him, unless somebody had actually walked into that thick bush.”

    Sgt. Fowlds relayed his enthusiasm about the positive result from this search. “It is good that someone can go to the family and say we found the missing person, we found your loved one, they’re OK. We need to take them to the hospital to be checked out or whatever it is but we don’t have to be knocking on the door with our heads hanging down,” he said.

    George Smitherman shared his gratitude for the concern and efforts devoted to locating his partner. “They came in big numbers, and they were touching. Every breath in conversation was so compassionate, so thorough, and so utterly excited to share the news that Christopher had been found,” he said before adding, “he’s alive and he’s safely in the hands of a hospital, Toronto Western, that we know and that we have so much confidence in.”

    George Smitherman admitted that the future is uncertain, but sounded hopeful in his speech about the process of recovery. “The path forward isn’t firmly clear, except that we know that it’s long and it will be hard and that he and me and our family, and our kids especially, will be surrounded by an outpouring by love that would restore anybody’s faith and confidence,” he said.

    “We’re going to do all the work that we need to do to make sure that together, and with our kids, we have long and rich and vital lives,” George Smitherman said.
