    I don’t know what y’all are talking about, but the girl shouldn’t be off with some grown pervert one way or the other. Especially not in another country, as it’s been suggested that they may be in Mexico.

    Hi,

    I am writing a news article on this case and was wondering if anyone could give me some more information. I would like to speak with someone who personally knows Gray or Tafoya. If you could contact me by email at kmcbride@clunet.edu I would really appreciate it. I only have a few questions: (if you could please answer them and attach them to the email that would be great)

    1. How do you feel about the Amber Alert not being issued?

    2. Do you think Gray left willingly with Tafoya?

    3. Why do you think it is taking the police so long to catch Andrew Tafoya?

    4. Is it like Gray to run away like this? What is her personality like?

    Any other information you can give me would be very helpful. Thank you for your time.

    The criteria for an amber alert was completely met when the information was reported to the Ventura Police Department. The reason they did not issue issue a amber alert, is because “CHIOMA,” does not have a “FELONY”. Again as we all know she is not blue eyed, blonde hair. And last they do not want her to be found because of their corruption in place to cover up all of their own illegal acts in the Ventura Police Department. Why would they issue an Amber Alert when they placed in the National Crime Information Computer (NCIC), listing Chioma Gray as a “RUNAWAY”. Runaway’s do not get amber-alerts. From December 13, 2007, when the parents reported the abduction, a decision was made when the mother reported the abduction to down play the crime, with lessor charges, such as child stealing (278 p.c.) contributing to the deliquency of a minor, a misdemeanor. This are the types of charges used are when a child has runaway with a adult. They now have him missing also, in the newspaper articles in the Ventura County Star, Andrew J. Tafoya, is not listed as a suspect he is listed as a man. Chioma is listed as a Girl not a victim. How is this? When did the law change? Did the law change after he was convicted of sexually assaulting Chioma when she was 14? How was she a “VICTIM”, and now a “GIRL”. Why is Chioma the “SUSPECT” in her own abduction and Andrew J. Tafoya, is the victim? The Ventura Police Department is so busy covering up there corruption. The Ventura Police Department continues to enter contridictions in this case, misinformation and untrue information.Something does not smell right!!

    Chioma, did not leave on her own she was kidnapped and abducted from her Buena High School located in Ventura, California by Andrew Joshua Tafoya. This abduction had been planned during the time that Andrew was in work-furlough serving time for sexually assaulting Chioma, in a “White House” setting. He served 147 days , for a felony in a setting where he was free for more then 8 hours a day with unlimited transportation from the car dealership where he was employed with his step-father being his Manager. This case has some similar traits to the Natlie Holloway case. Yes, this is a relative who is in the Judicial system. If you take the time to research the Ventura County Superior Court records, you can understand that Andrew Joshua Tafoya, Dob: 03-13-87, is completely connected with the Judicial System due to the relative being one of the systems own. Chioma loves her family very much and would have never left them. Haven’t you noticed that the posters with the National Children for Missing and Exploited Children have been changed approximately 10 times. This changes hare being revised by the Ventura Police Department. They are Changing the entries, in the National Crime Information Computer, (NCIC) like changing there underware daily. If this was a true investigation they would not have to consistantly change there entries, according to the NCIC, reviewed by law enforcement only. THIS INVESTIGATION IS A CRIME, A COVER-UP TO CLEAN UP THE VENTURA POLICE DEPARTMENTS OWN “ASSES”. It is a shame that the Ventura Police Department will risk a childs life to cover up there own corruption.

    They are not looking for Andrew Tafoya, They Have not interview anyone in Chioma family that knows everything about Chioma. The information that has been received is there own personal opionions, personnel prejudices and corrupted msde up storys so that they can justify to not look for CHIOMA. Let me give you an example. On the first missing childrens poster information taken from the Ventura Police Department (NCIC) entry, indicated that a kidnapping warrant was issued on December 14, 2007. This is untrue, there was never a kidnapping warrant issued in this case. To date there is no kidnapping warrant and this is day # 116. The reason the Ventura Police Department never filed a kidnnapping warrant is because a kidnapping warrant means that you would need to look for Chioma Gray. The truth of the matter is they entered Chioma in the system as a RUNAWAY, so that they would not have to look for Chioma. The family can not even get a reward or any help to find Chioma because of the way that they have entered there corruption into the NCIC and the MEDIA. They Do not want Andrew Josuha Tafoya or Chioma Gray, to be found, because it will open up the can of worms. Again this investigation is a “CRIME”.

    Let me give you a short bio-about Chioma Gray. Chioma Gray is a beautiful, little girl. Chioma is one of the most loving person you ever might meet. Chioma Gray is highly intelligent and was always a 4′0 student, until Andrew J. Tafoya, destroyed her life. She comes from a upstanding family in society, that has a great deal of love for all. Chioma loves her mother and father and has a loving caring and family bond. Chioma especially loves her brothers and sisters. The famliy members are christian, and have personal relationships with Jesus Christ. Chioma would have never done this to anyone in her famly they love her very much. Chioma had a very personal relationsip with each person in her family. Remember, the information that you are reading is not the truth.The false information that you are reading is the Ventura Police Department Corrupted Bio fillied with false made up storys to make them look as if they are working a criminal investigatiomn, when in reality the investigation is a dam lie and is the “CRIME” of the investigation. Again this investigation is a “CRIME”. Chioma parents have never had any INTERVIEWS, with the Ventura Police Department since the day they reported Chioma Gray, the stolen white acura, and Andrew Joshua Tafoya. Yes the Ventura Police Department has NOT INTERVIEW THE MOTHER, FATHER, SISTERS, BROTHERS, COUSINS, GRANDMOTHERS,GRANDFATHER,AUNTS, UNCLES,nor people like myself. I have known this family for over 25 years. What is really going on?? It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this corrupted investigation out.

    Lastly, Not only do I know Chioma Gray family, I also know Andrew Tafoya, family. I am also Hispanic. I truly know just how the Tafoya’s are handling this case. I can tell you that Andrew’s mother Sally Winter, step-father David Winter and father Andrew Reginald Tafoya, knows where Chioma Gray and Andrew Joshua Tafoya are at. David Winter Manager of the Car dealership, supplier of the stolen vehicle, Sally the mother the arranger and knowledge of the abduction, (enabler) and lastly the financial manager of the kidnap and abduction, the biological father Andrew Reginald Tafoya. We all have children and when someone child is abducted, we should be responsible in helping to find the child. This is very criminal of the family to continue to be criminally involved in this crime. I will continue to pray that God will speak to the hearts of all involved Tafoya family members. After all the mother of Chioma has forgiven “Andrew Joshua Tafoya, for kidnapping her daughter and prays for God to convict his heart.

    Thank you Cindy

    Wow !!! Everyone sure has an opinion. I dont hear any one talking about how these two kids/young adults feel… about themselves or eachother. Know one knows what goes on in the heads and hearts of anyone else. Only God. Sometimes people believe what they want.

    While everyone is praying for those who need it least; who seem like they are just saying “pray for the other family” to appease their own hate… Everyone should be saying and praying for the kids who left TOGETHER,
    May they find safety and comfort and God on their journey and may it lead them back home safely!!!

    I don’t care what a childmolester feels!

    You have a fundamental misunderstanding about the situation at hand. This is not some romantic romeo and juliet bullshit - it’s kidnapping.

    Please get a grip.

    Cindy, I want to encourage you to go to whoever you can (if not the police) with that information. Most of it is information I already knew, but it seems like you might know more than we know - so please tell somebody.

    @ Wendy - you lost your damn mind. Romeo and Juliet my ASS. Obviously you did not read any of the details in this case - this ain’t Shakespeare - a young woman life is in danger! Open your eyes!
