    Karena McClerkin's (18) remains found 6 months after she disappeared; one day after a suspect was arrested



    There are news articles for Karena but very little for Sierra so far. There have been unsubstantiated claims they both went to Florida but family dispute this saying there have been sightings reported locally, none have been verified so far.

    Family say that Sierra was last seen with Gabe Ellis, a man in his 40s.

    Sierra's fb is plastered with her cousin's missing persons flyers. It's hard to believe she'd do this voluntarily knowing how much her family is already suffering

    KOKOMO - A community-led search for a missing Kokomo teen resulted in no new clues Saturday afternoon.

    From 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the family of 18-year-old Karena McClerkin, along with friends and residents scoured the area around the Wildcat Creek Reservoir in hopes of finding any signs of the missing teen.

    ?We want her home,? said James McClerkin, Karena?s father. ?We want her to get her life straight. She just turned 18, she has a whole future.?

    Karena was last seen Oct. 11 walking down the 1000 block of S. Washington St. Since then, flyers with the teens photo and description of what she was wearing the last night she was seen ? a black crop top, ripped denim jeans and brown sandals ? have posted on social media and throughout the community.

    She was outspoken, kind, but considerate, her father said. And she was a great person to be around. Karena was also dealing with substance abuse issues, although she was turning her life around.

    ?She doesn?t want to be out in these streets,? James said. ?She made that comment.?

    And as speculative stories have made rounds across the internet about his daughter, James says the Kokomo Police Department hasn?t confirmed any of the hearsay, which is why he?s taking it upon himself to do what he can to find his daughter.

    ?I plan to let the police do their investigation while I just turn rocks over and hopefully I knock on the right door and someone knows something,? James said.

    And since he lives a little over an hour outside of Kokomo, James recently lost his job due to the amount of time he?s dedicated to searching for Karena. He?s since found a new position, but said he?ll be back in Kokomo every weekend until his daughter is found.

    ?I?ve got a map ... I?m going to pan out and we?ll be here passing out flyers one square at a time until I cover [the area,] and then I?ll start back over again if Karena?s not found,? James said.

    And to anyone who may know of the whereabouts of Karena, her father pleads for them to send any tips, even anonymously, to help bring her home.

    ?Anybody that?s selling dope or involved in dope, I just need them to take the time to sober up and pick up the phone and do the right thing,? James said.

    This case is still an ongoing investigation by the Kokomo Police Department, according to a KPD spokesman.

    So are there a total of 4 teens missing from Kokomo? Do we have the other two missing on here? Why am I asking all these questions?

    Kokomo man sought for alleged child exploitation



    A warrant has been issued for Gabriel Ellis for alleged relations with a runaway minor


    Howard Superior Court 1 issued a warrant last week for the arrest of a man charged with multiple crimes against a child.

    On Jan. 31, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Gabriel Ellis on charges of child exploitation, a level five felony, and possession of child pornography, a level 6 felony. Both charges stem from an alleged relationship with a minor.

    According to a probable cause affidavit, Ellis first was arrested on Jan. 5 after a local law enforcement officer observed him driving a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am with a license plate that didn?t match the car he was operating. A traffic stop was initiated, and a vehicle pursuit began that eventually resulted in Ellis being pulled over.


    After he was pulled over, Ellis allegedly was found to be in possession of heroin. As a result, Ellis was arrested, and his cellphone was taken into police custody. The following day a search warrant was obtained by KPD to search Ellis? phone. Upon searching the phone, ?photographs and videos of Gabriel Ellis and an unknown female both in the nude and having sexual intercourse,? according to the affidavit.

    Later, police learned the female in the photos and videos on the phone was a 16-year-old juvenile, according to the affidavit.

    Police interviewed the alleged victim?s mother on Jan. 18, and it was then when she positively identified the victim portrayed in the images on Ellis? phone.

    According to the affidavit, when police spoke with the alleged victim?s mother, ?She knew why (the police) had needed to speak with her. When asked to elaborate, (she) said she had called Child Protective Services in August or September because she believed that (her daughter) had been going to Gabriel Ellis? home without permission. She said that (the alleged victim) had been coming home with new bras and panties that she had not purchased.?

    The affidavit continues, and the mother of the alleged victim said in an interview that she ?thought it was odd that a 40-year-old man would buy a then-15-year-old girl undergarments, so she asked (the victim) if she had been sexually active with Ellis. (The alleged victim) denied being sexually active with him.?

    The CPS investigation, which came as a result of the complaint the department received on Aug. 30, 2016, did not yield results because the alleged victim ?denied being sexually involved with Gabriel Ellis at the time. However, CPS investigators had found (the alleged victim) at Gabriel Ellis? home when they went to locate the both of them.?

    Then, after the detective investigating the case filed a preliminary report of alleged child abuse with CPS, a CPS investigator assigned to Ellis? alleged victim?s case contacted the KPD investigator in charge of the criminal investigation. According to the probable cause affidavit, the CPS worker had gone to the alleged victim?s home on Jan. 20, where he discovered the alleged victim ?ran away from home the previous day. Her status as a runaway was reported to the Howard County Sheriff?s Department.?



    A winter weather advisory is in effect for the northern portions of central Indiana from 11 AM to 8 PM this evening. Up to 3 inches of snow ar? Read more

    ?Not only had (the alleged victim?s mother) reported the (alleged victim) as a runaway, but she also advised that (the victim had run away with the suspect in this case, Gabriel Ellis,? reads the affidavit. ?(The alleged victim) told a younger sister that she was going to the Super 8 motel with Ellis that day and before they went to Gas City.?

    The detective made contact with the motel; however, neither Ellis or his alleged victim?s names had been used to register a room. And ?there was no information provided as to where in Gas City they may go; therefore, their current whereabouts are unknown.?

    As a result of the investigation by KPD, the warrant on Jan. 31 was issued. When Ellis first was taken into custody on Jan. 5, he bonded out of Howard County Jail for a sum of $12,000 with 10 percent allowed. On Feb. 10, Ellis? bond was revoked, and as of press time he hadn?t been located by the police. For his first arrest, Ellis also was charged with dealing in methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, possession of a narcotic drug, unlawful possession of a syringe, maintaining a common nuisance, resisting law enforcement, and theft of a firearm.

    All of these charges range from a level four felony to level six. He also was charged with possession of marijuana and driving while suspended, both A misdemeanors.

    The new warrant alleges charges of possession of child pornography, a level six felony, and one count of child exploitation, a level five felony. As of press time neither Ellis nor his alleged victim had been located.

    Sorry Bewitching, I don't know how I missed your first question I think one of the other two was this girl, Breanna Voiles, who (I think) is still missing, but I'm not sure of the 4th now? Unless it was the girl from Gary with the questionable Amber Alert? There was also a teenage boy on the original group poster - he was found safe, so maybe he was the fourth? I'm not sure of his name, he was located before I read about all these girls so his details were redacted from the links.

    Sierra is OK & the slimebag is in custody.

    Karena is still missing. Police tweeted her missing poster again in the last 48hrs

    http://kokomoperspective.com/kp/kpd-...5e4c85fcb.html

    The Kokomo Police Department took in Howard County's most-wanted man, Gabriel Sebastian Ellis, yesterday.



    At approximately 8:04 p.m., the Kokomo Police Department Drug Task Force and K9 Unit conducted a traffic stop in the 1800 Block of East Markland Avenue. During the traffic stop, Ellis, 40, of Kokomo was found to be a back-seat passenger. A 16-year-old female who had been reported to the Howard County Sheriff Department as a runaway also was found to be a passenger in the back seat of the vehicle.


    Ellis was arrested on a warrant for the offenses of Child Exploitation and Possession of Child Pornography. During the investigation methamphetamine and a firearm were located. Subsequently Ellis additionally was charged with Dealing Methamphetamine, Possession of Methamphetamine, and Felon Carrying a Handgun.

    The juvenile female was transported to the Kinsey Youth Center without incident. No injuries were reported.

    Sierra's big sis occasionally shares updates for Karena & other missing girls in Kokomo so I'll link her fb

    I feel sorry for his son. Here is what he posted on FB after his father's arrest:

    Hello everyone!
    I appreciate those who have reached out to me to make sure that I and my immediate family are okay, and I understand the anger and hateful comments and messages that I and my immediate family have received, and it’s totally justified.
    My heart goes out to the family involved, I am so sorry that our families have been intertwined under these circumstances. My heart is shattered, I can’t make sense of this for any reason. I don’t know any details about anything so I’m sorry I won’t be able to provide a solace, but I believe whatever it is that needs to be done will be the right thing and hopefully, hopefully, this can all be resolved one way or another.
    In the meantime I ask that you please respect mine and my families privacy as we try and process all of this. Much love to all of you.
    - Vincent
