Update on Mystery Man @ Ledo's- Julie Popovich Case

Now for the latest news on Julie:
Police have tracked down the man Julie was said to have been seen with the night she went missing. With conflicting stories, and a vague description- this is almost amazing. I will be following the story through out the weekend, and hoping to bring any news as quickly as it comes out. The main concern is to be able to bring Julie home, and then to be able to hold those responsible for her disappearance- well responsible. I will also be bringing more information on Ashley Howley, the other missing 20 year old Columbus girl who has now been gone over a year. I urge everyone to pay special attention to Ashley's case- her family is desperate for answers and her story has not gotten the much needed media attention it deserves.

"....COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Homicide detectives investigating the disappearance of a Reynoldsburg woman said Friday that they have located and spoken with a person of interest in the case.
Julie Popovich was last seen leaving Ledo's Lounge, located at 2608 N. High St., on Aug. 11.
Detectives said they needed to speak with a dark-skinned male in his 20s, who was last seen speaking with Popovich at the bar. According to police, detectives spoke with the man on Thursday and said he was cooperating with the investigation.
Police did not release the man's name.
Popovich, 20, was last seen leaving the Ohio State campus-area bar with an unidentified man. Police said the man had been in Ledo's bar before.
"When you go into a bar or club someplace, it's possible you know somebody's first name, maybe the last name, or you may not know them at all. It took us a while to track him down," said Columbus police Sgt. Brent Mull. "We don't know if the car (description) is accurate. If someone did see her get into a car, we would like to have that information. The folks that have come forward, we keep getting conflicting (information). Everything was changing. We could not pin ... at least two people down that saw the exact same things."
Police confirmed to NBC 4 that Popovich's boyfriend was questioned and has been cooperative in the case. He is not considered a suspect, police said....."

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

    Florida Sex Offender Registry

    Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
