WELCOME HOME KARISSAH!
Karissah Charlene Butler has been missing since September 29, 2006, from Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Karissah was born on August 25, 2004, and was 2 years old at the time of her disappearance. Karissah was abducted by her non-custodial mother, Trina Renee Butler, whom had a felony warrant issued for her on October 22, 2006. At the timeofher abduction, Karissah was under the supervision of Florida’s Department of Children and Families (DCF). She was placed in the care of her maternal grandparents after her parents were arrested on methamphetamine charges. Trina took parenting classes and received drug counseling, and Karissah was placed back in her care after six months. The child remained an official ward of the DCF, however, and the drug case against Trina was still pending. Trina took Karissah and fled before the custody case and the criminal charges against her were concluded. Karissah and Trina may be in the company of Karissah’s father, Stephen Butler. Trina’s parents stated Stephen has a criminal record and got Trina involved with drugs, and that he had threatened her in the past. The Butler family may be in Rhode Island or Canada. Karissah has a scar on her left cheek.

On May 20, 2009 Steve and Trina were arrested in Belize, Central America by US Federal agents and local Authority’s. According to another blog, they are in Miami in protective custody. Karissah was taken into custody of the US Embassy and is awaiting a family member to come and pick her up. According to the blog, she will be in the custody of her grandparents. I just want to say, as a friend of their’s, Karrissah is a very loving child and her parents as far as we could tell took very good care of her and everyone enjoyed her beautiful smile. She was always a joy to be around.

So, what’s up since may 22? Karissah has only just recently been removed from the NCMEC website and I can’t imagine the grandparents would have taken their time about getting custody of Karissah.

Sorry, I was in the hospital when she was located and not properly informed. Praise the Lord she is safe.
