Thanks 2lakes for providing that info. I was tired when I posted last night and just now got back here.
I think of Amanda often and I hope there is news soon.
Even if it isn't her it is someones loved one.:rose:

Here is an updated link on the remains found. It doesn't say much, but for some reason seem to think it might be the bones of a man missing since August.

George Whitter was last seen Aug. 30 leaving the House of Rock bar in south St. Louis with his friend, Randy Greenman, 39. A hunter discovered Greenman's remains in late September not far from a road in a subdivision under construction near Highway A northwest of Festus.

:( And yet another holiday has come and gone for Amanda's family. My Thanksgiving was spent with loved ones. Enveloped by warmth, and love, knowing we were all healthy, safe, and accounted for.
I wonder how Westfall's Thanksgiving was? :flamemad:

I am so glad that there are enough of us on here to keep Amanda and Hayden's thread alive. They will be found, and there is no statute of limitations on murder, and Hayden was far enough along to be considered another life, so it could end up being murder x2 when it does finally happen.
I too hurt for Amanda's daughter. Losing one parent is bad enough, but to be lose both mom and dad is beyond what anyone should ever have to endure, especially a child.

I will be keeping Amanda's family, and especially her small daughter after the terrible loss of her father, in my thoughts and prayers this holiday season. I can't imagine how that poor little girl is taking all of this...
I wish there was a way to send her some extra gifts for the holidays...I know that doesn't bring anyone back for her...but her grandparents (Amanda's parents) are not well off. I'll try her MySpace page and see if anyone responds...

Good question. I find it interesting that they haven't released his cause of death. I'm not saying he has anything to do with Amanda's disappearance but I wonder how he died and how their relationship was. Was it an amicable divorce?

I wonder who is raising Amanda's little girl now? What a tragedy for that little girl to lose her mother in such a horrible way and then to lose her daddy. Life sure isn't fair.
I wish that girlfriend of Hayden's dad would talk too. I have no doubt that she knows what happened to Amanda. How do those two sleep at night? I wonder if they are married now or still just together?
It's never right when a killer is walking free. If this monster that could murder a mother and a unborn baby doesn't have to pay in this life...I know for sure that he will pay in the next life. I would hate to be him when he dies and comes face to face with the Lord.

It just amazes me that some women know that their so called man either killed his wife or girlfriend and might have even helped go to sleep each night.... If it was me I would not have gone to sleep yet.... and when she does come forward for to testify they won't send her to jail and that makes my blood boil...
ok time to get off my soap box.

Amanda's daughter is being raised by her parents, Bertha and Hubert, as far as I know. It is so sad for Amanda's little girl, losing her mom and her dad in such a short amount of time.
As far as Amanda's ex (who passed away) being involved in her disappearance; there is an extremely low probablity of that.
The facts, as we know them, are that Amanda went to a holiday party in December 2004 and became pregnant from an encounter with Bryan Westfall. Bryan said that he does not know if he was the father but he has not denied the encounter. Amanda's parents and friends (who know her better than any of us) have stood by their comments that Bryan, was indeed, Hayden's father.
At the time of the encounter between Bryan and Amanda, Bryan had a long-term girlfriend named Stephanie. According to a source back home (I'm originally from the area) - they are still very much together.
Anyway, fast-forward almost nine months (during Amanda's pregnancy, there was no contact between Amanda and Bryan) - Bryan calls Amanda right before her due date in August and asks her to meet him at the Jefferson County Civic Center in Hillsboro, MO. She had apparently called him the week before to discuss the child and give him a last chance to be involved. I want to take a moment right now and state that Amanda was perfectly capable of taking care of her new baby son and exisiting daughter without any help from Bryan Westfall.
So, being the sweet person that she is, Amanda agrees to meet with him on August 15, 2005. A half-hour before the meeting with Westfall, Jones stopped at a Walgreens store in Festus. She was seen in videos taken by store surveillance cameras.
Amanda obviously made it to the Civic Center. Her abandoned car was there unlocked. There was no purse, keys or cell phone inside. Bryan Westfall volunteered at the Civic Center for about four years. He was employed as a computer instructor at Jefferson College; interestingly enough, his contract was not renewed in May 2006.
On 8/15/05, Bryan Westfall was at the Civic Center doing volunteer work because of a horse show that was held at the center. He told police that he spoke to Amanda briefly in the parking lot for about an hour. Then said he saw her a few hours later, still in the parking lot, talking on her cell phone. Cell phone records show that the last time she used her phone was at at 1 p.m. when she spoke with a relative. Maybe Bryan Westfall can't tell time...
Bryan Westfall did not waste any time lawyering up and, surprisingly enough, neither did his girlfriend Stephanie. Now, I am not saying because someone retains an attorney, they are guilty. I know that law enforcement is not without error. But, considering the circumstances, I believe Bryan Westfall hired counsel because he has every reason to believe he will eventually be charged with a crime.
Bryan Westfall has changed his story from not going to lunch, to he took Amanda to lunch, to he last saw her talking on her phone for 3 hours (phone records dispute that statement). I believe that he cannot keep his story straight because he is hiding something....something like murder.
At the beginning, law enforcement did consider him a person of interest and searched two properties he owned or was connected with, one being a farm. But, with no evidence and no Amanda....nothing has moved forward on this case.
Although I try to help on any case that I can....this one has really stuck in my heart; I come from that area and I guess I felt a lot of compassion for her, her daughter and her family.
I will always have hope that somewhere, at any moment, a piece of evidence will be found or an eye witness that remembers something...anything....will come forward and Amanda's family will get the answers they deserve....and one small-minded, devious, *@stard will get what's coming to him...

I'm really glad to hear that Amanda's parents more then likely have the little girl. I hope that raising her helps then to heal from the loss of Amanda and baby boy. I know they will raise her to be just as nice a person as her mother was.
Amanda and her disappearance has stayed in my heart too. She seemed like such a nice person. She worked and was raising her daughter...minding her own business and not asking for a thing from that monster Bryan. She would have done fine with two children. I know they were all looking forward to the birth of that little baby.
I remember Amanda's parents saying that Amanda and her ex got along really well. That is probably why he was never a suspect. We know who it was that saw Amanda last and also who murdered her and the baby. I wish she could haunt him and just drive him crazy until he turned himself in! I wonder if he ever has nightmares? I know that I sure would. Glad his contract wasn't renewed. I'll bet it had something to do with him being a suspect in a murder. I hope so anyway. Wonder what he is doing for work now? Any way you can find out?
Still can't figure out why the girlfriend thought she needed an attorney. Sounds really strange to me. If she wasn't with him what did she have to worry about? I think she knows what happened or she was there and helped. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Did anyone ever find out who Amanda's daughter is living with now that she has also lost her daddy?
I think about Amanda often too. Some friends and I took a trip from Washington state to Mass in November. Coming back we drove by Amanda's city or the one that she had lived in and I wanted so bad to stop and look for her. Just broke my heart thinking I was that close...on the freeway...to where she was from. Really brought it home to me.
It's hard to believe that it has almost been 3 years since she disappeared. Think how big little Hayden would be now. I'm sure her family think of it all of the time. I feel so bad for them.
Someday the killer or killers will pay for this. If not in this life then when they meet their maker face to face.

As horrible as this may sound to others, I hope and pray that is in this life that 'he' has to pay!!

I know...I too wish something would crack this case wide open.
The case is ice-cold...only a chance will help bring justice to Amanda and Hayden. A chance that someone saw something and will remember - a chance that someone stubbles upon evidence - or (as hard as it is to say this - it is something I have felt from the beginning) that someone finds her body.
Our last hope is that 'you-know-who' finally has an attack of doing the right thing and confesses but I think it will be a cold day in hell before that happens.
Nope, our friend is living his life - moving right along and hoping this whole thing goes away. Which, for the most part, it has. But as long as we keep Amanda's story alive and as long as we keep reaching out to the St. Louis media (which I do every time someone else in the area disappears or for the anniversary of Amanda's disappearance) - I hope it will, at the very least, make him uncomfortable - make him look over his shoulder - wondering when he will finally be caught. And I hope it's sooner rather than later so that Amanda's family can finally have answers...

Trees crashed into homes - no electricity, cars on fire as main power lines ignited cars, its a mess.
Onward and upward.....
If you-know-who and his so-called, no conciense" girlfriend break up, maybe she will speak
How can someone keep silent?
he is a coward and I hope this case breaks wide open.

I don't look for Westfall to ever turn himself in. I too want justice in my lifetime. I want to see him in handcuffs and to know that Amanda and Hayden have received justice plus her family.
Just how does a person get rid of someone who is big and pregnant? There is no way that Westfall could have gotten rid of the body by himself. She was nearly due to deliver and probably really big. Westfall didn't look like that big of a guy to me. I would think he had the help of another man.
I don't know how his girlfriend can be so blind. I wouldn't turn my back if it was me. If she hasn't figured out that he is a killer then she is pretty darn dumb. Or she knows because she was a part of it all.
I wish there was something that we could do to break this case. I don't live anywhere near Amanda's but that is probably a good thing!! I would probably have already spray painted KILLER on the side of someone's car and gone to jail for it!!

Hey LetterQ - I'm glad you now know about Amanda and Hayden. Thanks for taking the time to read...
You would think that a 9-month pregnant woman disappearing under suspicious circumstances would create national press (um..Laci Peterson) but in Amanda's case - it was hard to get even the local St. Louis Post Dispatch to do much.
I have many theories on local LE...but I think it may come down to the fact that Amanda was not as "media-genic" as other women (think Natalie Holloway, Laci). I know it sounds sick - and believe me I hate it - but I work in the media and 'pretty' wins everytime. Not that I don't think Amanda is a beautiful person - but I think you all know what I mean.
I have seen it time and time again - the American media grabs onto something obsessively and lets other things slide right by. It's all about ratings....not about truly saving or helping anyone. MOO!

Parker,
That is such a sad reality.
Were'nt there rumors for awhile that a 24- hour missing person channel might be broadcast on television? Have you ever heard anything about that? Can't even remember where I heard that at.
Wouldn't that be wonderful? Seems though everything is about profit, though, so maybe the idea got discarded.
Yes, Amanda's story is so heartbreaking. Does anyone know if the Le from that area even consider Bryan Westfall as a suspect in her disappearance? Surely they haven't closed all the doors where he is concerned.

Hi everyone - thanks for the well wishes - almost all is cleaned up around here. Still having some really nasty weather.
Letter Q - Welcome on board - glad you have come to join in. :)
I keep thinking there is something missing. Guy has alleged one night stand... thats all.... Amanda becomes pregnant , chooses life and can more than afford to take care of Hayden on her own. She chooses to contact the baby's dad and tell him...
And she hears from him out of the blue just before being due... Am I right?
Premeditation? I really wish I could be a fly on the wall in his head to know
And this girlfriend?? He cheats on her and she knowingly stays.
He must have some serious dirt on her or she is scared that she will meet up with some terrible downfall
Its coming up to 3 years Amanda is missing.....I hope her family finds answers soon THIS HAS GONE ON TOO LONG!!!!

Thanks for the welcome!!
I'm a little confused on a couple things and I don't want to presume anything so I will ask:
1. The red car couple. Westfall says that he didn't know them. Yet they come to HIM about wanting to adopt Amanda's baby? A week before she was due? ummmm okay.
2. He claims it is impossible for him to be the father of the baby. Yet he is concerned enough about the possibility of fatherhood the week before due date to make plans to meet with Amanda. If he truly believed he wasn't the father, why would he waste his time meeting with Amanda? Wouldn't he just say , "Listen, Amanda, after the baby is born I will pay for a DNA test to put this to rest."
3. That link said that he was a volunteer at the Civic Center. So he woulnd't have to have proof(ie time clock) of where he was during the crucial time of Amanda's visit. Has anybody stepped forward to say, "yes, Westfall was with me that day. We were working on such and such together almost all day"?
Actually these really don't seem like questions to me afterall. They pretty much answered themselves.

Hi Q
About The red car couple.
Brian Westfall says that "he didn't know them".
Yet they come to HIM about wanting to adopt Amanda's baby? How did they know about her and of his alledged situation if he did not know them????? How did some couple just come up to him and know this woman was pregnant with his child?
Guilty?
He claims it is impossible for him to be the father of the baby.
Yet he made plans to meet with Amanda. If he truly believed he wasn't the father, why would he even speak to her
He could have retained an attorney and and let him handle it - including a DNA test.
Guilty??
I love the phone # printed as a volunteer at the Civic Center.

Justins Mom,
I know we don't live in a perfect world, infact it seems to get colder and meaner every year (maybe that is just my older age setting in:) ) ---but if Westfall did this to Amanda and Hayden, he chose murder instead of just letting them live their lives. How selfish, disgusting, and horrifying. My mind just cannot wrap around that. Hayden was almost ready to be born and breathe the air. How on earth can a man do that?
This upsets me so much. May the murderer pay. And I mean pay!
BobbisAngel
06-19-2008, 07:07 AM
I wonder how people like Westfall can live with themselves. How does he shave in the mirror every morning and look himself in the eyes? It is beyond my imagination. I'm wondering about the girlfriend too.
Westfall got so tangled up in lies that if LE don't suspect him then something is really wrong. I think they do but they have to find some evidence. I would like to know if Westfall drove a truck then and if his cell phone records were ever checked out. I suppose LE couldn't get a warrent to check out his vehice or phone records. I think he must have called someone after the murder. Amanda was big and pregnant and it just seems to me that he would have had to call someone to help get rid of her. I remember seeing a pic of him and he wasn't a big guy. Maybe the girlfriend helped but unless she is a big strong girl she probably wouldn't have been much help.
I have followed Amanda's case from day one and I just want to scream of frustration because they haven't arrested Westfall. I hate for him to get away with murder just because he disn't want to pay child support. How dare he snuff out the life of a wonderful woman and mother and a tiny baby that never got to open his eves to see his mama and sister. I just pray somehow he gets caught. He has damaged a lot of people through his selfish actions and there are two parents and a sister who need to know where Amanda and Hayden are so they can bring them home and begin healing.

Bobbisangel,
That is so funny you mention seeing a picture of Westfall. While reading through this thread I kept wondering what he looked like. On that one link to 'Ramblings from the reservation' there is a picture of Amanda and then another picture beside hers of a man. Is that him? If it is then he isn't anything like I expected.
I'm with you, Bobbisangel, this sounds like a case where a man didn't want to pay child support or something. I can't even think of a strong enough word to describe this. When another human does something so horrifying to another - what words can you use - no words are evil enough to describe it.
Does anyone know if Westfall and his properties are still being investigated? Does he have alot of clout in that area, where he really doesn't have to worry about being on their radar?
Now that I know about Amanda's story - I don't want to let her be lost among all of these names of missing people. What all can I do? Please let me know.

I have heard that his father is retired from one of the highest elected political positions in St. Louis County Govt. The family has lots of property in Jefferson Co. and can probably afford good legal counsel. There are many places to hide bodies in Jefferson Co, especially if you have lots of property. I don't think LE has enough information to obtain a search warrant for the property.
I don't know what he looks like, but some members of the Civic Club where Amanda was last seen with him say he considers himself a "lady's man" and was involved with several females at Jefferson College where he worked. I bet he really gloats to himself because LE has not been able to tie him to this case (if he did it).
I have always wondered if the girl friend was hidden in the back seat and had something that would have put her to sleep and then they took her somewhere to finish the job and hide the body.

noanswer,
Intersting information, thank you for posting. Though, the info you gave leaves me feeling pretty sure Westfall will get away with murder.
It seems as if Daddy's position might help Westfall in many ways. How sad for Amanda's family.
I have to question why an innocent person would not allow LE to do a thorough search of property without a search warrent. If there is nothing to hide, why would you not allow it? If a person went missing in my area and the LE felt that they might gain some information from searching my property - I would welcome them. But then I have nothing to hide.
If Westfall's girlfriend was involved in anyway - all I can say is I hope and pray she never gets pregnant. All the more humanity that was shown for little Hayden pretty much sums up the kind of woman she is (if involved)
I also have to wonder if Westfall has been sighing with relief because Amanda did not get media attention.
Westfall, if you have nothing to hide, let them search all of the properties connected to you. Wouldn't you want to put an end to all of this speculation? Wouldn't you at least want to clear your name?

I'm with you, Bobbisangel, this sounds like a case where a man didn't want to pay child support or something. I can't even think of a strong enough word to describe this. When another human does something so horrifying to another - what words can you use - no words are evil enough to describe it.
Does anyone know if Westfall and his properties are still being investigated? Does he have alot of clout in that area, where he really doesn't have to worry about being on their radar?
Now that I know about Amanda's story - I don't want to let her be lost among all of these names of missing people. What all can I do? Please let me know. [/*]
Yes, the picture of the man on that sire is that of Westfall, the captions under thye photos just shifted. :seeya:

Jones missing for 880 days
Family is saddened as another holiday goes by with no new leads in girl's disappearance
By TERESA RESSEL
Daily Journal Staff Writer
Friday, January 11, 2008
More PhotosHILLSBORO — No new leads have been generated recently in the disappearance of Amanda Jones.
Jones, nine months pregnant at the time, disappeared from Jefferson County on Aug. 14, 2005. She’s been missing for 880 days.
Jefferson County Lt. Tommy Wright, who maintains the MySpace page dedicated to finding Jones, said the detective bureau talks about the case and strategies on a daily basis but there have been no new leads.
The most recent post at http://www.myspace.com/findingamandajones is from Wright. It states, “Another Christmas has come and gone. The third Christmas that (your) mom and dad have spent without you. Another Christmas in which your beautiful daughter looks out the window and wonders why hasn’t mommy come home.
“The person responsible for (your) disappearance will be punished. If not in this world, another. That person should do some serious soul searching and ask themselves why they would selfishly take you away from your family and that wonderful little girl.
“They should also realize the countless families they have affected with their selfishness. I would ask that the person responsible have some decency in their heart and provide the Authorities with information leading to your whereabouts so that your family can start healing. It is the least they could do. Otherwise they remain heartless until judgment day ...”
The last known person to have seen her was Bryan Lee Westfall, who her family says was the father of the unborn baby who she planned to name Hayden Lucas.
Her mother, Bertha Propst of Festus, said her daughter received a phone call from Westfall the morning of Aug. 14, 2005, requesting a meeting at 1 p.m. at the Hillsboro Civic Center, where the two had met and he volunteered.
Bertha has said her daughter just wanted to know if Westfall wanted to have anything to do with raising her son.
The divorced mother who worked as a loan administrator at Eagle Bank in Pevely went to Calvary Assembly of God Church in Festus that morning. She was at the church from about 9:30 to noon. She left her then 4-year-old daughter with her parents and stopped in at the Walgreens store in Festus before meeting Westfall at the Hillsboro Civic Center.
Her parents, Bertha and Hubert — who were born and raised in Park Hills — and friends called Westfall when she didn’t return.
Bertha said they got three stories. The first was that the two had lunch and he left her at 5 p.m. The last story was that they spoke at the civic center and he left her at 2 p.m. He said he drove by at 5 p.m. and she was still there talking on her cell phone.
The Propst family called the sheriff's department at about 9 that night to report her missing. Later on, her car was found unlocked in the parking lot, with her purse inside.
Police have never called Westfall a suspect and say he worked with police through his attorney. His girlfriend has reportedly talked to police through her attorney, as well. Police have searched the fairgrounds, as well as Westfall's property.
The family believes Westfall knows more than he is sharing with police. They know the last time she used her cell phone was between 1 and 2 p.m. that day.
Wright said investigators can reasonably conclude that at her stage in her pregnancy, she was not going to walk very far. She also suffered from Grave's Disease, a thyroid condition.
Wright has said investigators suspect foul play, but there is no physical evidence to say that a crime has been committed.
Anyone with information is asked to call the department at 636-797-5000. A $100,000 reward has been offered by a philanthropist from Philadelphia for information that solves the case.
Police describe Jones as 5-foot-8 and about 220 pounds. She has blue eyes, brown hair with blond highlights, and a dolphin tattoo on her left upper torso. She was last seen wearing a pink sleeveless shirt, a pink- and white-flowered skirt and pink sandals.
Family members and police are hoping someone will share one last bit of information that will break the case.

*snipped from article link* for length
Justins Mom,
Thank you for the link.
Somewhere I read where Westfall let LE have a guided search (by him and him and either his Mom or Dad) on parts of the property that he picked for them. I know I read that in one of these threads. I will have to go back and search for it -- I know it is there.
This article says that LE searched his property.
I am going to go reread this thread.

After going back through the thread, I began reading what was on line. Nancy Grace had the parents on the show a while back and she mentioned the 4 year old was the child of an ex husband.
I got to thinking that Sundown was critizing Amanda's lifestyle but she was married. Hmmm - Guess you have to read. The Nancy Grace article as printed in CNN.com also stated that Bryan may have approached Amanda about having an abortion but she, like her parents believed abortion is murder.
CNN.COM, back in 2005-Its old but interesting
""""Tonight, in St. Louis, Missouri, Jefferson County sheriff Oliver Glenn Boyer, Hubert and Bertha Propst, parents of Amanda Jones, and, in New York, "Justice" magazine reporter Abby Ellin.
First of all, to Abby, bring us up-to-date, friend.
ABBY ELLIN, "JUSTICE" MAGAZINE: Well, the situation is that Amanda was meeting the father of her baby on August 14th, and she met him for lunch. And after that, she disappeared.
Her parents, who were watching her 4-year-old daughter, called the police at around 6:00 that evening when she didn`t come home. And nobody knows what happened to her.
GRACE: Is it true the boyfriend wanted her to have an abortion, and she did not want one?
ELLIN: You know, I had not been -- I had not heard anything about that. But what I do know is they were not together. They were not a couple. They had had a one-night stand. They`d met last Christmas and then had a one-night stand, and then she got pregnant and had...
GRACE: Everybody, Amanda Jones` due date is this week, between yesterday and tomorrow. This lady, this 26-year-old, is set to give birth to a baby boy. She is a mother. A child is waiting at home for her to come home.
I want to go to Amanda`s parents, Hubert and Bertha Propst. First of all, our prayers and our thoughts are with you. Thank you for being with us.
What can you tell me, sir, about your girl?
HUBERT PROPST, FATHER OF MISSING GIRL, AMANDA JONES: Mandy is a very sweet and loving girl, young lady. This man that is the father of the baby that she is carrying is the father of that baby. Bryan Westfall is the father of the baby. No DNA, but he`s the only one that she`s been with and was with her the day that she disappeared, the last one to see her.
GRACE: Mr. Propst, is it true he did not want to have the baby, and she refused to give up the baby?
H. PROPST: She refused to give up the baby. I heard someone tell me that he did approach her with the idea of an abortion, and my daughter is against abortion 100 percent. She feels the same way as I do. Abortion is murder, any shape, fashion or form. It`s murder, and she said no.
GRACE: Mr. Propst, when did you find out your girl`s missing? I mean, she`s 26. She`s just a baby herself.
H. PROPST: Practically, yes. She got a call from Bryan Westfall that Sunday morning on the 14th. He suggested -- he said a car came to his house, a young couple, lady with short blond hair. The man, he didn`t describe to my daughter, in a red Cavalier.
He said he didn`t know who they were. My daughter didn`t know anyone that drives a red Cavalier. He suggested -- he suggested -- that they meet at the Civic Center at 1:00, because she said it would have to be after church. He said at 1:00 at the Civic Center, and then he would take her to Desoto for lunch and that never occurred.
GRACE: So, Mr. Propst, they never made it?
H. PROPST: She got to the Civic Center, but they didn`t go out to lunch.
GRACE: Now, it`s my understanding -- to Sheriff Oliver Glenn Boyer -- sir, thank you for being with us.
OLIVER GLENN BOYER, SHERIFF, JEFFERSON COUNTY: Yes, ma`am.
GRACE: It`s my understanding that he says, this Bryan Westfall says, he left her in the parking lot. Forget about lunch, I guess. He left her -- this is the mother of his baby -- left her in the parking lot talking on a cellphone, correct?
BOYER: That is correct.
GRACE: Have police checked her cellphone records to pinpoint a time or do you believe that`s true?
BOYER: We`ve checked the cellphone records. We haven`t been able to verify that call.
GRACE: Is this guy a person of interest yet?
BOYER: Oh, most certainly. I mean, he was the last person to see her. So it`s a normal course of any investigation. The last person would be the one you key in on first.
GRACE: Sheriff, you guys have set up a task force. What methods are you using to find Amanda? Everybody, Amanda is supposed to give birth this week. She`s a 26-year-old girl.
How are you trying to find her?
BOYER: Well, what we did almost immediately, just simply because of circumstances surrounding her disappearance, her general health, she`s got Graves disease. She`s 8 1/2, almost 9 months pregnant. Very uncharacteristic for her to leave a small child in...
GRACE: Well, sir, I`m just a lawyer. I`m not a mathematician. But if the baby`s due this week, it is nine months.
BOYER: Right. And what we decided to do right off the bat is do a -- similar to a major case task force, trained investigators. And we started from square one, hoping for the best, but also preparing for the worst.
GRACE: I want to go back to Amanda`s mother, Bertha Propst. Ma`am, you must be in so much turmoil. The baby about to come, your daughter missing. What can you tell us about her health, and what did she have on the last time she was seen?
BERTHA PROPST, FATHER OF MISSING GIRL, AMANDA JONES: I can`t describe the turmoil that I`m going through. It`s a pain that I can`t describe.
Amanda was wearing a pink maternity top with the pink and white flowered skirt. She was wearing pink flip-flops and carrying a pink purse. Amanda has Graves disease. And without her medication that -- she has to take this medication in order for her health and also for the baby`s health.
GRACE: Now, the other child, the 4-year-old, she has a good relationship with her ex-husband right? They were married, had the baby, they divorced later. Everything`s fine. He`s got an alibi. He`s out of the picture, right?
*. PROPST: Right. She has a good relationship with her ex-husband.
GRACE: Very quickly, Sheriff Boyer, you did a search of Bryan Westfall`s property and the adjoining property of his parents. Did he consent to that search, or did you have to get a search warrant?
BOYER: Actually, we`ve done two searches. The first search was pretty much a guided tour that his attorney and Mr. Westfall allowed us to do. The second one we done today. That search was a consent search.
GRACE: So both were consent searches?
BOYER: Yes. """"""" [/*]
Sorry about quoting such a long post, but I knew I had read about a 'guided' search somewhere.
There may be more about it in these threads here.
Do sad to read Amanda's parent's comments.

Justins Mom,
That is another strange thing about this case. Why would she need a lawyer? With Westfall's dad being a higher up in the political scene in that area, maybe he had something to do with them both getting a lawyer. The Dad had to realize it looked very bad for both of them. He would have had the connections to some of the better lawyers, I would think.
The more I think about this case the more upset I get!!

I think it is just sickening when a person who is suspected of murdering a pregnant woman has relatives who have enough clot to cover a murder! What kind of person is willing to do that anyway? I don't care who the suspect is...son or daughter it is WRONG. If my son was suspected of murdering someone no way would I ever cover for him or do anything until I knew all of the facts. If he murdered his wife...the other of my grandchildren I might not ever want to look at him again.
I just wonder if Westfalls father didn't pull all of the strings he could get ahold of. You know how politicians are...most of them are crooked as a snake otherwise they don't make it in that field.
I guess I can understand Westfall getting an attorney but not the girlfriend. Why would she need an attorney. Was she afraid of being questioned by LE and not having an alibi! Probably couldn't give ole Westfall an alibi either. So Westfall has cooperated through his attorney...Big Man. Guess he wasn't man enough to talk to LE on his own. If he was innocent it shouldn't have been a problem.
So Westfall and his big wig dad gave the police a guided tour of some of the property. Big of them. What good was that anyway. If Amanda is buried there the two wouldn't have taken LE near that area. That father son team are so disgusting. I want Westfall busted so darn bad. He probably really thinks he is smart because he hasn't been arrested. I wish Amanda's spirit could just drive him out of his mind!
Oh Westfall considers himself a real ladies man huh? He looks like a little nerd to me. Pitiful thing that he is.

Wow! I left for the weekend and I come back to all this wonderful discussion....Thank you all for keeping this story alive. I've contacted '48 Hours' again to see if they would be interested in covering this since it is unsolved...I just want someone to push some buttons...
I know that someone, somewhere had to see Amanda that day with Bryan. They may not even realize that a crime has occured and that they could've seen something crucial to the investigation. All we need is for something to happen - no matter how small - to blow this case open again.
August is approaching quickly...three years will be here and Amanda's family still does not have answers...
And, I'm with all of you...since the beginning, Bryan Westfall has had WAY too many inaccuracies in his story. Why would you change your story so many times if you are innocent and telling the truth? Hmmmmm....because LIES are so much harder to remember...that's why!

Hi everyone. I think of Amanda and Hayden so often, and I am so impressed that others still do the same. As I have said before, Hillsboro is about 75 miles north of where I live, so this one has always hit close to home for me. I am ashamed to say that not many speak of it anymore. It's like Amanda is gone, and that seems to be ok to some.
Not to me. I pray for the day that Amanda and Hayden are found, and brought home to her family.
I did find this message board that I am providing a link for. I dont know if it has ever been posted here before, and I haven't yet had a chance to read it . I thought you all might like to see it, and maybe someone will recognize, or notice something, that would somehow help Amanda.

Why don;t we have shows like NG,GVS,AMW,Geraldo on TV more with missing/murdered children and adults stories and updates to keep them in the news. Especially for all the people that might know something but do not go to these forums or keep up. Even if the update is no news. Could be on every day after the news. And we need AmberAlerts for adults too. IMO

I have thought this very same thing!! I wish Greta or Nancy or someone like that would just focus their entire show on missing persons.....and provide updates, etc. Whether anyone likes them or not, Greta and Nancy do a lot of good through their shows when they discuss these types of things....helps bring awareness to the public, and helps bring in tips.

06-29-2008, 12:47 AM
Darcie,
I can't thank you enough for posting that link. I just got done reading every post.
So much information about Westfall there!! - His brother is a former State Trooper, now a private investigator/consultant. - Westfall's farm is 300 acres - Westfall's girlfriend hired a lawyer as early as August 21, 2005 (what? That's only 5 -6 days after Amanda disappeared!) Many more details there - should have taken notes while reading!
So, Westfalls's dad is a political big-wig in the area. His brother is a former State Trooper. It's now wonder that he has gotten away with this, so far. Will Amanda and Hayden ever get justice? I pray that they will.
What can possibly be done to help? If the powers that be can look at themselves in the mirror everyday without a twinge of guilt for letting Westfall get away with this - - and Westfall hasn't confessed because of the guilty nightmares he SHOULD be having? What can be done?
Praying for Amanda and Hayden.
Westfall, your day will come. It might not be in the here and now, but it will come!!

Sadly, its the ratings of the moment that drive NG and GVS and a few others.... Right now, its Caylee Anthony's story. We have seen super coverage on a few of our missing children and a few adults too. But for Amanda Jones, Jaliek Rainwalker and hundreds of others - a smidgen or next to nothing.

Disappearance of Pevely woman still baffles authorities
By Chris Campbell
Tuesday, July 29, 2008 11:16 AM CDT
It's been nearly three years since 27-year-old Amanda Jones of Pevely disappeared from the Hillsboro Civic Center.
While the search for Jones, who was nine-months pregnant at the time of her disappearance, grinds on, police say they have made only halting progress in the case.
The mother of a then 4-year-old daughter, Jones attended Sunday church services with her family on Aug. 14, 2005.They haven't seen her since.....

From what I've heard Westfall and his girlfriend are still together. My question is....it's been three years..why haven't they gotten married? I think that is odd. They were a couple before Amanda so they have been together at least four years! I wish they would split and she would run to LE and tell them everything that she knows. Course if she was involved she isn't going to open her mouth.
I want this case resolved too. I wish Nancy Grace would cover it again. Westfall needs to be reminded that Amanda and baby haven't been forgotten.

I've been told that there was construction going on by the place where Amanda disappeared. Some are wondering if he didn't just dump her somewhere in the middle of the construction where she wouldn't be seen but just be covered over and never found. I wonder in LE even thought of the construction.
I know the town Amanda came from was small and the police department is probably small and without a lot of resources. I wish they would call in Tim Miller and Co with all of their great tech equipment and go over the area where the construction took place. Think how easy it would have been for that monster to just get rid of Amanda right there. I still think he had help getting rid of the body though because I doubt that he could have carried her as she was big and pregnant. She would have been dead weight. He doesn't look like a very big guy. I wonder how big and strong his girlfriend is. There probably wasn't a lot of activity around that Civic place at certain times of the day and evening.

Had a funeral to attend this weekend, and drove through Hillsboro. I thought of Amanda and Hayden. I wanted to roll my windows down and holler to the wind.....Where are you?
But I have faith that one day you both will be found, and your body shall be laid to rest, in peace. Until then, know that you are thought of, and that you haven't been forgotten!

Darcie, sorry to hear about your loss. I have never been through Hillsboro but if I was near I would visit a few spots there.
There has been absolutely nothing on this case and we are coming up to YEAR 4 - Year 4??? Can you believe it. Nothing, no clue, she just vanished and Bryan walks free....
No one seems to want to take on another look. Last year we tried to petition all newspapers and radio stations in the area, nothing.
Its as if this is a do not touch case.
Thanks again for thinking of Amanda and putting her back on the list
Hey Hillsboro - WE CARE
Praying everyday for something to assist in resplving this case.

Justin's mom - and can you imagine, as frustrating as WE find it, how horribly aggravating it must be to Amanda's dear parents and child??! :cursing:
Bless that poor family! :rose:

Hi Bev Ann,
I can say I can not fathom what it would be like. But I can not imafgine what it is like to have information and not come forward. Someone knows something, someone saw something and 2 people lawyered up big time
its coming up on the 4 year anniversary of Amanda Jones' dissappearance and I will continue to look for leads and keep posting where I can in hopes she is found and we have answers
Her parents and young daughter..... deserve answers.
I will continue to pray for them

Just got back from a vacation in Texas to celebrate my big 50 (8/16)
I toasted Amanda and Hayden and as the sun set on Lake Travis, I said a prayer that her family and the world will get answers
People do not dissappear like that
Where are Amanda and Hayden? Happy Birthday little boy...

Dear Bryan,
What did you do on Saturday night? Did you maybe have a bbq with family, or friends? Did go to the lake for the day, laughing, swimming, enjoying the sunshine on your face? Did you go do some back to school shopping, eat at a nice restaurant, watch a movie?
Amanda would have loved to have been doing those things. With her 2 adorable children. She'd be 30 right now, with her wonderful kids, and her whole life ahead of her. Halloween costumes, Christmas presents, birthday parties - all those great moments with her babies.
What did you do on Saturday? Did you know it was the 4th anniversary of the day Amanda was taken from this world? Did you worry about if she'll be found one day? Did you cry for your unborn son and the life that was taken from him? Did you feel completely guilt ridden? Was August 15th just another day to you, or is it a hard day for you to get through, as hard as it is for Amanda's parents and daughter?
The day will come....
BevAnn :sneaky:

JMO here
Bevann, HE KNOWS.... H-E K-N-O-W-S.
HE HAS NO GUILT,
HE KNOWS THIS IS AN ANNIVERSARY
AND HE DOES NOT CARE.
HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HAYDEN.
The baby was not a beautiful human being in his eyes. I can only imagine what went through his head that day.
The pre meditation of it all. NO feelings, No thought for her, for the baby, for her daughter, for her family, for the friends, coworkers and extended family who love her and were looking forward to the birth, the birthdays, the baptism, the Hallowen parties, Christmas parties and more. There is not any of this for Amanda and Hayden. All there is are unanswered questions. Where are they? Why?
Then there is Bryan Westfall who holds in his grinch-like heart a deep dark secret that must be causing ugly ulcers and painful feelings in his swiss-cheesed holed heart. Evil incarnate fer sure!!!!!
No Heart, conscience... nothing. no feelings what so ever for this missing woman and her child. Under rug swept. Wash hands clean of this.
And there is that girlfriend WHO HE CHEATED ON WITH AMANDA JONES THAT NIGHT. I bet there was more - once a cheater, always a cheater. Why are you still with him? You MUST BE SKEERED OF THAT MAN.
Sorry guys, this burns me up. This is a case that I will pray for as long as it takes
Justice for Amanda and Hayden!! The family deserves answers!!!!
JMO = Justin's Mom's Opinion.......

I bet....
If I could.......
Wave a wand..........
AND
Get a warrant............
And search..................
Bryan Westfall's 300 acres.......
I would find........................
WAIT!!!!
No I wouldnt - He has all the power in the world it seems
He can
Hold a secret that
Perplexes many a family all over the country
AND hold it to this day..
Amanda - Hayden - WHERE ARE YOU.
As always I am praying for a miracle as I KNOW they are out there
Elizabeth Smart showed me strength and preserverance
Shawn Hornbeck showed me a true miracle
If this young lady IS Jaycee Dugard, My prayers and I hope everyone here go directly to her and her parents as she will have al ong road ahead of her
Amanda, I am always looking for you - even if I live over 1000 miles away.
Justin's Mom
