Search efforts for missing 17 year old Chelsea King in San Diego

[Megatrae]

This is just horrible. And the fact that I can see Lake Hodges from my bedroom window doesn't help either. I live in an apartment complex called Vista del Lago, and it's RIGHT THERE. Cant really stand it anymore... =(

[Montywhittle]

Would they do all this for a black girl, lets say from a ruff neighborhood? (I wonder)

[rinieusebio]

@Montywhittle ur obviously not from where chelsea got murdered if u say something like that...

[Montywhittle]

@rinieusebio I am sorry if I offended anyone. I was wrong to say anything negative. What happened to Chelsea is totally upsetting and horrible, truelly I mean that.

[cheerbabe991]

Taxes pay 4 this kind of thing and this happens should Chelsea's murder hav ben let out of jail when he committed the first crime NO WAY!! Any1 who does this kindof thing should get The Chair or jail 4life they should suffer like they made Chelsea & Amber suffer those girls didnt deserve it

R.I.P- Chelsea and Amber

u will live forever in our hearts u didnt die in vain God had a plan for u i hope to meet them one day until then they will live on in Heaven the best place they could be

[jbrabec22]

You judges (and DA's) who don't believe in the death penalty, who choose to spend tax-payer resources on life-term jail sentences for these murders (which cost 1.1 million dollars per an inmate's life-term). Blood be on YOUR hands! Those resources need to be used to stop these murderers you f-ing self-righteous hypocrites!!!

[cynthiarox98]

@platinum1578 its just that this girl has been missing for almost a year and when someone is missing and they go on the news and people despreately looking for her isnt because of race. why does everyone think of race ???? well not everyone but most people.

[rinieusebio]

@cynthiarox98 umm she was only missing for 2 weeks then we found her body....

[ICantDecryptTheCode]

At first I wasn't sure but I am convinced now they probably do have the right guy. Someone in law enforcement should have continually checked up on him and made sure he did not the attack anyone again, after he had already been in jail. Very sad.

[KuBoKr3w]

wow ive noticed that amber lives in my neighborhood. i always see her walk to school.

[MexiEmpleadoCorrupto]

Ambar Dubois mother was interviewed and she said the Sheriff did not search for Ambar they let to pass 3 weeks before the seaching? what the heck?

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

dud ur n idiot the dna was found y the fuck would they lie about it and hes done this before back in 2000

[MexiEmpleadoCorrupto]

the real fact is ppl did not care about others, a kid was kidnapped in a park and nobody saw nothing. True the drug dealers get longer incarceration, some judges dont apply law as must be, ha let see they apply law to the latinos does not matter if they are inocent, the prosecutor`s deal you confess that you are guilty or we can charge you more crimes.Yeah the law? law? yeah some prosecutor, police officer,judges are like that. ojala un dia la justicia divina los haga llorar sangre.

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

yeah and drug dealers dont force u to buy shit pedos force u

[europeana2]

NO MERCY FOR RAPISTS AND MURDERERS!!!

[JesusManson323]

The poor parents. The worst part is having to go and identify your daughter's cold, dead, raped, beaten body.

It's bad enough to know the details of the crime, but having to see it would be pure psychological hell.

[itzhizgurlbeth]

Theives and people who park illegally are quite a bit different from rapists and murderers, wouldn't you say? I mean yes, they all do commit crimes, but parking in a handicap spot is a far cry from killing a handicap person. Your logic is odd.

[ChocolateChipPizza]

I've got a great idea for sex offender rehab. I'm calling it "High Velocity Lead Injection"

[itzhizgurlbeth]

An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind. What kind of example are we setting when we punish murder by murder. We say don't kill or we will kill you. The death penalty is absurd. Lethal injection causes slow and painful suffocation. No one deserves to die by the hand of anyone else. By the way, keeping them in prison would cost alot less if we didn't have to pay for all of the luxuries prisoners have.What happened to a bed, toilet and sink. Now they have T.V's,computers,conjugality.WT­F?

[findchelseaking]

no one deserves to dy by the hand of anyone else? then why did chelsea die by this monsters hands. He deserves the slowest and most painful death possible. He is a horrible person and he deserves any punishment coming to him

[tzarBHD]

@itzhizgurlbeth true, we shouldnt kill, them we should torture them.

[ICantDecryptTheCode]

1. The park to me looks kinda foresty. Dude never run in a park alone, always run with a partner or carry some kind of taser.

2. Its probably a cover up if you ask me. The police have to come up with an answer quickly, and hey look a sex offender loser lives down the street. Dont you think they should investigate the school, neighbors, friends, her lifestyle, rather than just say, oh here we go we found the guy? seems ridiculous to me.

[itzhizgurlbeth]

His DNA was found in her underwear. It's not a cover-up. He lives in the area. He has a previous assaults that mirror this one. He is a preforential preditor. He has a "type" and she fit it. It's not uncommon for the police to arrest someone of "interest". At least they kept him off the streets while they proved he did it. God forbid he leave and murder anther girl in another state. Don't worry though, he'll get out in another 5 or 6 years. That's the way the California Justice System works.

[ICantDecryptTheCode]

@itzhizgurlbeth

im not worried for him. I just want to preserve fair trial in the usa. if he did it then certainly he should be killed. Quit making this into a political issue.

[itzhizgurlbeth]

It is a political issue. California is fixing to set thousands of criminals free (most likely so offend again) because they can't afford to pay for them. But, we can afford to send our resouces to Chile, Iraq, etc.

If the government spent more time, money and energy on protecting our country and our people, things like this wouldn't happen as often. Change is needed on the homefront. It's a problem when violent offenders are let out after 5 years to rape and kill an innocent child. It is INSANE

[ICantDecryptTheCode]

@itzhizgurlbeth

I've seen your "no bama" comments. There's isnt much I can agree on with an obama hater. sorry.

The issue here isnt political. Its nobody's fault. It was just an evil person.

[itzhizgurlbeth]

We don't have to agree. That's about the only beauty of living in the U.S. And...I don't hate Obama. I don't hate anyone. I just dislike the fact that he isn't doing anything. Aside from him, it is 100% a political issue. It is the fault of the California Justice System. This man was released after 5 years for assaulting a child. He's an evil person, yes. The court transcripts state that he is NOT a good candidate for offender treatment. It was advised that he receive the max. sentence. He got 5

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

i know they let sex offenders leave after 5 years but yet they keep small drug dealers even longer

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

how is it nobodys fault? the sex offenders psychiatrist told the judge not to release him because he would do it again and felt no guilt and yet the judge released him. he was registerd in a house that he wasnt even staying at so no1 knew there was a sex offender in the neighborhood so yeah it is someones fault this could have easily been prevented

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

ok dumbass then how come they found his body fluid on her underwear? it is obvious he did it he was registered at a house he didnt live at so no 1 in the neighborhood knew he was a sex offender this guy is guilty its as obvious as oj simpson

[ICantDecryptTheCode]

@SL4VE0WNER1904619

why should anyone listene to someone with the name slave owner?

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

because i actually live in san diego so i know whats going on and your just a dumbass that thinks that guy was used as an excuse

[ChristynaJonasLuver]

i don't understand how a man can do this to a girl , whoever does that is not a man but a monster .

Prayers to her family and friends , she didn't deserve it ,nobody does :( <3

[ChristynaJonasLuver]

wowowowo stop this !

[lawrencelugar7777]

Sad story. yeah - I agree.

She's a white teen girl, in an upper class neighborhood, who drives a BMW to high school.

The news coverage on her is amazing, if it was a 'lesser' person, it wouldn't get a fraction of her coverage.

Ridiculous.

[abeathon]

You know what?

I see you posting the same exact comment on all of her videos and it's pretty ridiculous.

Regardless of what car she drove to school, where lived, and what the color of her the skin was, the fact of the matter is that an innocent girl was brutally raped and murdered. I think that's the only ridiculous thing about this entire situation.

Think about the parents. Think about her friends. And think about Chelsea. She did not deserve this, and neither did any past victim.

[itzhizgurlbeth]

Any child who goes missing gets national coverage. It's about getting the info out there to help find them. It's not a black/white.....poor/rich thing. It's too bad that the story had such a terrible ending. It would have been covered either way. Does it make it anymore less sad that she was white....and drove a BMW. That statement is crazy.

[TheTruthHurtsAmerica]

@Brian82247 Amen..I was praying that when this guy was found he wasn't a minority.

We need to focus on crimes the person did, no matter what color he or she is. If he was a minority imagine all the N words or Latino hate words that would be spewed?

[zecnobot]

True. If only missing sandwiches got as much attention.

[ohboyscott]

@morph995 i'm pretty sure if someone close to you or yourself was raped you would be begging for them to die

[mcgaugh57]

You need to just STFU you're way out of line on this and making yourself look disgusting .

[antisadism]

Some people just do things and dont think about it, and those kind of people are incredibly dangerous.

[ChocolateChipPizza]

@morph995

(continued) And in the big picture, offering sex offenders rehab is no different than luring ants into your house with sugar. Long story, but perhaps you see where I'm heading with this...

[ChocolateChipPizza]

@morph995

(continued) In that case, the ants are the parasite and you are their host. In the big picture, rapists are parasites and innocent folks like Chelsea are the host organisms. Basic science. So why should human parasites be treated any differently than any other parasites? You know, if anything, the ants are less guilty than people; at least they're just doing what they do by nature, whereas rapists knowingly choose to harm and traumatize their victims. (continued)

[ChocolateChipPizza]

@morph995

Let me put it this way:

When you find ants in your kitchen; leave food out for them to encourage more of them to come in? Or do you drive them out?

Probably drive them out, right?

Why? Because ants are parasites. Scientifically spoken (in case you slept through Biology in college), a parasitic relationship is one of three symbiotic relationships, in which one organism thrives at the expense of a host organism. (continued)

[integgy95]

I say we tie a rope around his balls than attach the other end of the rope to the trailer hitch on my Cadillac Escalade, and drag his ass through the streets..

[ryanking909780]

This punk john albert gardner is going to get karma in the worst form he can imagine,no matter what prison or what yard he ends up on....belive that!

[ChocolateChipPizza]

@morph995

How is killing a heartless monster murder?

Sexual assault has the highest repetition rate of all violent crimes - something like 90%. Why should countless innocent women and children have to suffer and die just because some deranged pervert can't keep it in his pants?

BTW, For nonviolent criminals, I'm all for rehab/ community service kind of stuff.

But if you deliberately hurt an innocent human being, why should you be rewarded with free tutoring?

[itzhizgurlbeth]

Murder is Murder, no matter who is being killed. I would love to see them punished to the max, but to kill them makes us murderers also. Then, we're not better than they are.

[ChocolateChipPizza]

@itzhizgurlbeth

To me, "murder" is the killing of an innocent person. How can you say we're no better than they? They inflict severe emotional trauma upon, and in some cases kill, innocent people. By killing them, we simply return the inexcusable harm they did themselves.

[findchelseaking]

i think thats bull. Its a fact of innocent vs committer. Chelsea did not do anything to deserve this. She did not bring this upon herself yet this happened to her. Gardner deserves worse than the death penalty to what he has done to Chelsea and his previous victims. im talking torture of some sort. He is a sick man who didnt deserve a second chance at life.

[WestsideRollla]

Yes, i say if you rape or fondle a kid, you get your skull caved in and suffer a slow painful death.If ppl know thats what will happen, maybe there wouldnt be so much of this sickness happening.Look at the goof who allegedly did this,he already committed b4, was released and committed again!He needs to die slowly. Idont pray, cuz i dont believe, but my heart is with Chelsea's family and anyone else who needs to suffer because of some human scum who should of been dead already!THE SYSTEM IS FAIL!

[mcgaugh57]

These are just the ones we know of. Imagine what he has done and not been caught.

[holocaustexpert]

I magine if this happened 1400 times in a few days. That is what happened in Gaza. We must show our support for Gaza and push for a total ban on any aid to Israel.

[julianajuliana]

OH! SHUT UP! I am sick and tired of reading your DUMB comments, you moron!

[xoaqua4everxo]

i was so upset to hear that she was abducted and i felt really sad to hear that she died. i didn't know her but i'm almost 17 and i can't imagine how horrible it must have been for her. and her family was so devastated. RIP Chelsea :(

[MissCamillaJade]

i dont personally know her but i live in san diego and when i heard about what happen today when they found a body i started crying

it's just sad. guys like him should never get out of jail.

[mcgaugh57]

Dude how many beautiful innocent girls need to die horrible deaths at the hands of worthless helpless humans. Before you get it ?

[holocaustexpert]

Jesus said these tpye of people are the lowest among men.

[comeagainjenn]

Rest In peace Chelsea. we love you!

[mcgaugh57]

@morph995 still defending killers and rapists. So if they want out of prison they must be subject to castration and have their penis removed and piss in a bag at their expense. Or be executed but never ever be allowed to live a normal life again. It's been proven over and over they can't change. NO MERCY

[ChocolateChipPizza]

To all those who preach in defense of rapists/ molesters, consider this:

Rehab for sex offenders would cost well over $1000 a person.

9mm ammunition costs about 10¢ a round.

Tell me what's more efficient.

[mcgaugh57]

Bullet to easy and quick. Dismember them in public view so every other pervert see's and knows their fate if they hurt a child.

[ChocolateChipPizza]

@mcgaugh57

Hell yeah. In the days of piracy, the decaying corpses of executed pirates were displayed publicly as a warning to others. Let's do the same with this scum.

[mcgaugh57]

I bet that would make others think real hard before they rape and kill a child.

[holocaustexpert]

This is why all law abiding adults should be allowed to carry a concelaed weapon. Liberal wackos take away the rights of citizens to protect themselves.

[ChocolateChipPizza]

Right on!

[mcgaugh57]

It's fucking liberal scum that let these monsters out to kill our children. Put the bastards in prison and label them child molesters and let the population have their way with them.

[itzhizgurlbeth]

Are we not allowed to carry concealed weapons. (permit?) I agree we should be allowed to protect ourselves. Who can tell us we can't protect ourselves. Have you seen what the president is guarded with.....an AR. Doesn't seem fair does it?

[cabroncabrito]

@morph995 thinks about it? why not just kill them, if they're doing all this bad stuff, fuck that imagine that your sister gets rape or mom, what would you want to happen to that person? yea exactly fuck that shit we don't need this kind of people in the world

[asprdrvr]

Those who rape should be treated the same as murder. Its terrible, and messes up the victim and their family. They should all be killed.

[PhuckHue2]

when Gardner attacked the jogger in Dec. they took DNA samples but didn't run it. Gardner's DNA has been on file for 10 years. If they would have ran the DNA Gardner would have been locked up and Chelsea would be alive.

[obbeachbum69]

@PhuckHue2

I hike in the area and knew about the December attack but did not hear it from the police just word of mouth! Shame on the local police....this could have been avoided! I had just told my hiking buddy before Chelsea went missing to not hike alone back there....

[mcgaugh57]

@morph995 scary that you would defend sick fiends like this. Are you one? Fuck locking them up execute the scum in public and make in bloody and brutal. Show them no mercy.

[btwall60]

@morph995

Oh, thank you Doctor for you're learned opinion. Please tell all of us about the schooling you have recieved. The degrees you have in Phsychiatry, Phsycology, Sex crimes, sex victim, the prisons you have visited, the familys you have talked to that are affected for life. Please, regal us with wisdom of the ages, were wating you effing Ahole.

Lock them UP THROW AWAY THE KEY. They just keep repeating the same crime w/a diff. victim, now bend down, grab ahold&pull ur head out of urAss

[holocaustexpert]

morph995 - try to post when you are sober. Are you also from Kazakhstan and Jewish?

[hansumbro]

this creep will get his- karma is a M-F##ker. Poor girl ...

[mcgaugh57]

The liberal scum that let the sex offender out of prison to kill a young girl. Should all be put in prison for manslaughter.

[holocaustexpert]

Isn't that anti semitism since many are of Jewish ethnicity ?

[CheJoubert]

I never understand this anti-liberal stuff. Is it liberals that take all the money out of the economy? Throughout the ages populations have known that 'conservatives,' i.e. the rich, support themselves not anybody else - that is until the 20th century, when suddenly the average guy without money gets brainwashed into supporting the rich - go for it buddy.

[mcgaugh57]

Because it's liberal minded fools that are so fucking worried about a persons rights and giving a chance. They let fiends out of jail to kill our children.They're to blame for this poor girls brutal death.

[holocaustexpert]

Sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated. They need to be kept away from society.

[jammnjudith22]

@cjared57 dude wtf is wrong with you? This is no joke, this is serious. Get the fuck out of here man.

[DeadmanInc336]

Well I do get exactly what he's saying. I really wish our media wasn't so biased. This kind of stuff happens all the time to young female minorities and yet we barely hear about it AT ALL in the news. Especially here in San Diego with young Hispanic and African-American girls. Like I said, we hardly hear about that stuff when it happens to a minority. But the moment a young Caucasian girls goes missing, the media has to make a crisis out of it. This has been done time and time again in the past.

[azlzaznz]

i've been seeing all this all over san diego, hopefully she's found alive

[actonbath]

He's innocent. His mother didn't change his diapers enough or his father didn't buy him a toy car he wanted one Christmas. Trial by peers, "life term", out in 5-7 for being a good boy. Another girl gets murdered...repeat and rinse.

Next time a petitioner approaches you to help get felons lighter sentences........do the "human thing" ...don't sign and send them criminals to hell.

[btwall60]

@actonbath

I agree w/you, they give these guys like, 3 to 5, they do 3 years, a year later, boom another kid is missing. this is bs

[fulltime16]

Keep up hope! Remember, anything is possible! Stay positive!

[JakWiLan11]

Chelsea we love u stay strong were coming we love u soooo much poway must unite

[Archimonde45]

Isn't looking good.

[xoxoangexoxo]

@Archimonde45

yea if not found in the first 24hrs its not good..

[camerinoalex]

@ 858hollywood and everyone else remember that girl on tlc (if u watch that chanel )about that girl jaycee dugard who was missing for 18 YEARS well this is just a couple of days so keep your hopes up

[softballfanatic30]

I was there at the RB Community Park at the same time when she went missing. my neighbor is her cross country coach. Plus, my best friend's car was right next to hers at the time. god bless her!! my family and I are sending all of our blessings to her. my parents even gave her parents a hug today when being on the help like search team. wayy to go everyone. WE WILL FIND CHELSEA KING!! plus they just arrested a dude named John Arnold Gardner. WE'RE ON OUR WAY CHELSEA!!

[ubchain]

Does anyone by chance have a clip of the press conference regarding the arrest?

[PhuckHue2]

they made an arrest, great detective work.

they are interrogating him now. they say he's the same guy who assaulted another girl on Dec. 27.

[holocaustexpert]

jogging alone at dusk in a remote region with the cover of heavy brush is not a good idea whether you live in Wausau Wisconsin or Naples, Florida. Jog at a high school track or go to the beach and jog on the boardwalk if you have to jog alone. Parents can never remind their kids too often that they must always think about how to be safe.

[SalSalazarAndIanHD]

My dad goes to San Diego Every weekend. Im 12, so im concerned about my safety the next time I go. Poor girl.

[MaelynHawkeye]

Chelsea is a close friend of mine and I believe we're gonna find her, keep her in your thoughts and prayers, and please no negative comments.

[jammnjudith22]

@MaelynHawkeye I am so sorry. I really hope they find her and yes we all have to stay positive. She'll be in my prayers.

[powayxc]

thats my friends sister

[ridingthewavesallday]

keep un-positive thoughts like this in your mind. if you havn't noticed everyone here is positive, and this is what keeps us going.

[sunkist717]

God Bless everyone helping in the search and people please help pray for Chelsea's safe return.

[conservanazi]

Very bad thing, I hope she is ok .

But the fact is that those canyons are full of undocumented hispanic illigal aliens.

They bulid hovels and live in the brush.

The federal government and local law inforcment do nothing to inforce our laws concerning illegal aliens that have entered this country without invitation.

Its a double standard , They will arrest and charge any citizen thats breaks a law,

But its hands off when it involves a illegal.

I guess they go where the money is.

[MidwestN8TV]

@conservanazi

this is no time to be a political a-hole...finding her is the priority, not pointing fingers at an ethnic group. Are you really this much of an insensitive a-hole? Never mind, you have proven that you are. LOSER!

To the King family, I hope you know you are in so many people's thoughts.

[miyokoakito2]

poor chelsea i hope we find her!

[fishintuesday]

If any one has any information about the disappearance of Chelsea King please contact the San Diego Police Dept.
