Poster's Note: How many times must I post a story about a young teen girl running off with some ass hat twice her age that she met on the interweb? That's a rhetorical question, friends....

Local police are now searching for a missing 14-year-old girl believed to be in the Montgomery area with a man she met on the Internet.Jazzman Berry, a ninth grade student at Andalusia High School, was last seen when she was dropped off at AHS last Wedneday morning by her mother, Tracy Berry.

But she never returned home that day, her mother said.“She normally comes home right after school, somewhere around 3:30 p.m,” Tracy said. “When she didn’t come home by 4:30 p.m., I started calling her friends.”Initial conversations with her daughter’s friends didn’t yield any clues to Jazzman’s whereabouts; however, later discussions revealed the girl had been involved in an Internet relationship.“They finally said she had been talking to a guy on the Internet in Montgomery,” she said. “I just want to get her picture out there so that maybe someone will see her, and we can find her.”Berry filed a report with the Andalusia Police Department, who is currently investigating the incident.Lt. Paul Dean confirmed that APD was indeed looking for the runaway child.“Her location is believed to be somewhere in Montgomery,” he said. “We have it narrowed down pretty good, but we have not located her yet.”Dean did not say specifically where in Montgomery the girl is believed to be located.“We have been in touch with the Montgomery Police Department,” he said.No information is available on the man’s identity.Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of Jazzman Berry can contact the Andalusia Police Department at 222-1155.

Missing Andalusia girl may be coming through Tuscaloosa
Published: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 at 3:30 a.m.

The father of a 14-year-old girl reported missing in Andalusia said that the teenager may be coming through Tuscaloosa.
Authorities believe that Jazzman Berry ran away on Dec. 8, possibly to meet a man
she met on the social networking site Myspace, said her father, Jabrae
McCants.McCants said Jazzman’s mother last saw the ninth-grader
when she dropped the girl off at Andalusia High School nearly two weeks
ago. McCants, who lives in Tuscaloosa, said that his daughter has
been seen at a hotel on West South Boulevard in Montgomery and believes
she could come to Tuscaloosa. He said that he walked around
Montgomery looking for his daughter and ran into people who said they
had seen her in the area last week.McCants said he spoke to his
daughter’s school friends who said that two men in their 20s picked her
up at school the morning she went missing. They were unable to provide
good descriptions of the men or their vehicle to police, he said.“I
want to let her know that people do care and maybe she’ll try to
contact us. I’m hoping and praying that she’s not in any danger,”
McCants said. “If they move on from Montgomery, it makes sense that they
would stop in Tuscaloosa or another metropolitan area.” Jazzman has been entered into the state registry for exploited and missing children. Anyone with information about her location is asked to call the Andalusia Police Department at 334-222-1155.
