Jamie Stevens
has been missing for more than a month. The teenager's parents believe
answers to her whereabouts are online. Police believe her e-mail and
Myspace accounts could help solve the case, but they've hit an online
roadblock. "She walked off without a nickel in her
pocket, no ID, no purse, no nothing and that was the last time I saw
her," said Jamie's mother, Judy Stevens. Jamie is a
bright Redmond High School sophomore, with shining artistic talent. But
like many teenagers, Jamie and her parents weren't seeing eye to eye.
Then she disappeared a month ago.

"She was very angry. We
had caught her in a couple lies a week before and we talked to her
about it and she had been upset for a few days," says Judy Stevens. The troubled teen didn't call home, but she at least communicated through e-mail. "People started getting e-mails from her, we soon found out she was
going to libraries e-mailing or getting online," said her mother. On September 29, Jamie e-mailed her mom agreeing it was time to come
home. But then something happened. On her Myspace page, her mood
shifted to "guilty." Her parents heard she had met an adult male over
the Internet. "We've been able to piece together some
things that did happen. We know on that particular night she stayed
with an older person in Lynnwood and the next day she logged in and
said 'guilty,'" said her father, Jim Stevens. Because
Jamie's Myspace and e-mail are password protected, neither her parents
or police can access her accounts. The Stevens have hired an attorney
and they say a special FBI task force called "Innocence Lost" is
helping with the case. Myspace says the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act keeps them from divulging account
information, even for a juvenile, unless there is evidence of foul
play. "What kind of falls through the cracks are these
missing person cases, where person is clearly missing, but we don't
know a crime has been committed," said Sgt. John Urquhart, with the
King County Sheriff's Office. With no new word from Jamie for weeks, the search for her is stalled. But her parents haven't given up. "We're not sure she's making all of her own decisions right now," says Jim Stevens.
