Man arrested in 1993 disappearance of 10-year-old Florida girl
Nearly 20 years after 10-year-old Andrea Parsons vanished from her Florida neighborhood a convicted felon has been arrested and charged with her murder.
42-year-old Chester Duane Price was arrested Thursday and charged with killing Andrea, whose body has never been found. The arrest comes after Price voluntarily returned to the area to give testimony to a grand jury in the case, The Palm Beach Post reports.
Martin County Sheriff Robert Crowder said in a news conference Thursday detectives were led to Price after a team was assigned to review the evidence in the case last year.
“The resolve to find Andrea and get answers surrounding the circumstances of her disappearance has never wavered,” he said.
Price has an extensive criminal history dating back to 1991. He lived in the same county as Andrea at the time of her disappearance, and deputies said they had their eye on him from the beginning, according to The Palm Beach Post
“We were aware of him from the beginning of the investigation … He was one of our people of interest,” Crowder told TCPalm.com.
Andrea vanished on July 11, 1993 after making a trip to a convenience store. She had been home with Pat Daniels, her mother's boyfriend at the time. He told authorities he had given her permission to walk to the store and to visit a friend because she was bored. She never returned.
The Palm Beach Post reports Andrea's neighbor, Claude Davis, told investigators he had seen men stuff Andrea into a car the night she disappeared. He then said he had been collecting cans with the girl when she hit her head on a trash can and died. He said he drove around looking for help, but eventually dumped Andrea's body in a trash bin.
Davis was charged with false imprisonment but the case was dropped in 1994 due to lack of evidence. He later served nine years in prison on unrelated charged, and told The Palm Beach Post in 2000 he did not know where Andrea was.
Crowder said Price and Davis knew each other, but declined to provide more details.
Price is charged with first degree murder and kidnapping of a child under the age of thirteen. He remains in custody at the Martin County Jail with no bond.

Facebook given 72 hours to remove paedophile monitoring page
A convicted sex offender has won a High Court order for the removal of a Facebook page set up to monitor paedophiles in Northern Ireland.
A judge ruled some content amounted to prima facie harassment of the man and risked infringing his human rights.
Facebook was given 72 hours to take down the page 'Keeping our kids safe from predators'.
Mr Justice McCloskey said: "Society has dealt with the plaintiff in accordance with the rule of law."
"He has been punished by incarceration and he is subject to substantial daily restrictions on his lifestyle."
The man, who cannot be identified, was given a six year jail sentence for a string of child sex offences committed more than two decades ago.
He was convicted of multiple counts of indecent assault, gross indecency with a child and inciting a child to commit an act of gross indecency.
The man, known only as XY, issued proceedings against the social networking site after discovering his photograph and threatening comments posted on the page.
He claimed harassment, misuse of private information, and a breach of his right to privacy and freedom from inhuman or degrading treatment.
The court head that he fears being attacked or burnt out of his rented accommodation.
In a statement he described the published material as an attempt to vilify and stir up hatred against him.
Details were disclosed of some of the comments posted about him since his case against Facebook Ireland Ltd gained publicity.
One said: "So the man, or I mean mess of a human being, that's taken this page to court, he must want to be the head paedophile and rule over all sex offenders. He will be like a god to them."
Another stated: "Put him down like an animal."
It was also set out how he is suffering from ill health, including regular dialysis treatment.
Although Facebook has already removed his photo and comments made about the man, his legal team insisted the page should be shut down down.
They are also seeking disclosure of the identity of those who set up and ran it.
Lawyers for Facebook argued that it was neither necessary nor proportionate to remove a page used by 4,000 people.
However, balancing the competing rights to privacy and freedom of expression, Mr Justice McCloskey ruled in favour of the plaintiff.
He pointed out that only interim relief was being sought at this stage, and that granting it would cause minimal disruption to Facebook.
"I conclude that the pendulum of the rule of law swings in the plaintiff's favour," the judge said.
"The order of the court will be that the removal from facebook.com of the page entitled 'Keeping our kids safe from predators'... is to be effected within 72 hours."

This should give Sean and Billie a little something to stir about this morning. Any day now Sean and Billie.... any day now. You two are never free.
Hate to have to enlighten you loulou, but Billie & Shawn are as free as a bird. Going about their business, doing as they please and having a ball doing it while they giggle and smirk at everyone else.
If they were ever going to be charged and arrested, they already would have been. LE had multiple charges they could have filed and prosecuted them on and didn't. Didn't even try too.
There are many in prisons who comitted crimes far less than these two did, some with little evidence against them who are serving life sentences. But not these two. They got away with what they did to sweet Hailey as well as the rest of their crimes and they know it. So does all the LE agencies who were involved in investigating them. Ever wonder why, how could this be?
REB
"The whole gang of assinines" contaminated Hailey's bedroom from granny to Billie's buddies... I think the Local LE wasn't on their toes to secure that area.. :-(
Probably can't depend on that evidence as much...
I sway towards Billie being the main suspect but I feel that Shawn was labeled first to help Billie hang herself, so far, she is doing a good job. Keep dancing around on Hailey's grave, Billie, the truth will be unearthed...
Andrea Parsons, the little girl. Her photos, her abduction, on the Charley Project.
http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/p/parsons_andrea.html
I cannot copy and paste from the site, Claude Davis is named as POI from Jump. He a registered RSO of more than one victim. He an elderly man who lived across the street from Andrea's home, at the time of her vanishing.
His photo shown undated. Will he confess where Andrea's body is? tell the truth? some people are born evil. He in and out of jail multiple times for molesting girls, set out over and over.
Is there NO justice at all? He is a known pedo and he to fly in and out of jail, back to society. Vomit. How many more victims are there? he to set out and to live free. Why the hell they let him out in the first place is beyond brain scope.
To keep him locked up till he dies would be justice for Andrea, and a prevention for girls he has not yet stalked, molested. So sick. Will LE and Courts do right by Andrea and lock him up? or give him another free pass? he is old, he is... we do not have enough to hold him, yet again.
Who's on first? Andrea? innocent unsuspecting girls or Claude Davis?
Jersey Jane, I don't dispute that LE allowed Hailey's bedroom as well as the rest of the house to be contaminated, even allowing Billie to get rid of the couch Hailey frequently slept on, washing or ridding herself of the recently used sheets, etc., as well as repainting the living room. No telling what else was moved out, disposed of or repainted.
On top of that LE allowed them all (themselves included) to run around claiming Hailey was a run away without even considering that she might have been disposed of by Bilie & Shawn without bothering to check out that possibility until way later on. By then it was next to impossible to find pertinent evidence belonging to Hailey that would have contained her DNA and Billie's & Shawn's rape DNA, and possibly others as well.
BUT, they still had all the kiddie porn which some showed that Bilie herself was involved in making, also the adult porn and beastiality porn and other items of deviat sexual behavior that they STILL to this date have taken no action on, all totaling more than 109,000 images of sickening raw sexual and violent materials that PROVED Bille & Shawn couldn't be anything less than suspects in a sexual homicide of Hailey.
STILL no action; NOR do I believe they intend to bring any action against them. Poor sweet Hailey. She had no one to turn too and never had a chance with Billie & Shawn; and no telling who else they allowed to participate in her violent rapes and physical abuse while all in a drug frenzy. This is what they loved to do; and DID, until they killed her. They will never talk, nor will anyone else who may have been involved.
We have to face it; sometimes these horrific crimes are never solved, and some not until many years later while the perps go on getting away with what they did.

Another OT
Peter can you review the ny police officer thst did a good dead statements?!? I cried reading the story today and am offended by the skepticism that it was staged....

I also love when every once and awhile SA proves the person truthful!!!
Leveson: McCann Urges PM To Remember Victims.
Gerry McCann has firmly pressed the Prime Minister to pass a new press law and urged him not to ignore the stories of the Leveson inquiry victims.
The father of missing Madeleine McCann said it was time for politicians to "do the right thing" and that if they did not do so his evidence would have been "almost useless".
Speaking the day after Lord Justice Leveson presented his proposals for a new watchdog, backed by law, Mr McCann said that the victims of press intrusion had given evidence to the inquiry so others would not suffer the same fate.
He said: "I think the only reason we went to Leveson was to affect change and if Leveson's report isn't implemented in full then I would say that giving evidence for all of the victims has been almost useless.
Hugh Grant, Gerry McCann and Chris Jefferies in Westminster this afternoon
"For almost all the victims, the reason they were there was to stop other, ordinary people who were caught up in the most unfortunate circumstances suffering unnecessarily beyond what's happened to them.
"And I feel if Leveson is implemented we will be some way on that route."
In evidence to the inquiry last year, Mr McCann's wife, Kate, said she felt like "climbing into a hole and not coming out" after the personal diary she started in the wake of her daughter's disappearance was printed in the News Of The World.
The victims of phone hacking and press intrusion have launched an e-petition calling for all of Lord Justice Leveson's proposals for regulating the press to be implemented.
The actor Hugh Grant, Mr McCann and Chris Jefferies, a retired school teacher who won damages from eight newspapers who had linked him with the murder of Joanna Yeates in Bristol in December 2010, kicked off the Hacked Off campaign.
Mr Cameron has accepted a new independent watchdog is needed but rejected the call for new legislation to back it.

I've seen numerous comments of Mr. sorry Dr. McCann today and all I can do is advise him to keep shut. Like in stop digging the grave ...
Hi John
It is interesting to note that whilst they weren't considered suspects they actively courted the media, leak info via 3rd parties painting themselves in a good light and generally pointing away from themselves.
the obediant media did as they were told.
As soon as awkward questions arose regarding discrepancies, they were made arguidos and the Portuguese press stopped buying into the fairy story especially after the cadaver dogs reacted, they suddenly started shouting about press intrusion etc.
They threatened to sue the british media over anything that diagreed with their version o event and won money despite never actually stepping inside a court since they would have to testify on oath about the events, their non co-operation etc.
They tried in Portugal with Goncalo Amaral won round one and banned his book and lost on appeal which allowed his book to be republished ( something the media have sat on)
They don't like actually going to court since embarrasing questions will be asked.
What the gruesome twosome want, like many guilty people is a muzzled media who are banned from revealing unpleasant truths and who must instead say only nice things.
People with guilty secrets oppose a free press for obvious reasons.
Yes the media overstepped the mark in some cases, if we limit the press then a lot of guilty people will be allowed to literally get away with murder, since, to question them in the press will be forbidden.
Their concern is allegedly what the twins will read in the press about the events that night including child neglect on a nightly basis, sedation and neglect resulting in harm.
He can't however stifle the net, the twins will read the truth and ask awkward questions. I wonder how they will react when the twins ask why di you leave us alone every night, why didn't you do a reconstruction and why didn't you answer those 48 questions mom?
REB... You hate to enlighten me? Then don't!
I disagree, Reb, the noose is tightening around Shawn's and Billie's neck.
LE did not "just" focus on Hailey as a runaway. They have stated numerous times that they were running a dual investigation. One was the runaway and the other was a criminal investigation. Why do you think they took Shawn, Billie in for polygraphs? Remember, it took several tries between the two of them to get even one done.
LE has also stated that the Texas Rangers were called in on day 2 of the investigation. So LE wasn't just running this investigation by themselves.
This article should prove to Billie and Shawn that no matter how long it takes, the truth will come out and they will be made to pay.
Lou Lou, yes, be glad her enlightenment didn't cause you physical pain since it seemed filled with a lot of anger. I got what you were saying. I think Reb mischose her vocabulary word of the day. I think she meant 'disillusion'.
Just read that this guy having been already tried.... Can not be tried again. This double jeopardy law needs some exceptions. I understand the intention... But if someone found guilty can later have charges dismissed due to new evidence (most recently DNA)... Then I wish new evidence to get the guilty behind bars could be allowed. I don't have the answers to how to do this do the innocent are not tried again... But especially in the Casey Anthony case. There is clearly evidence that should have been presented but was not at that time.
Just drives me crazy that mistakes or lack of technology would let some evil monster walk free.. And not just free.. But able to continue their horror.
Changes need to happen.
