POPS'Baby Grace' Found in Storage Bin Tentatively Identified The Ohio family of a 2-year-old missing girl said Monday that they want to bring her remains home from Texas after she matched a sketch of a dead toddler nicknamed "Baby Grace." Trenor left Ohio with Riley earlier this year to move to Texas to be with Zeigler after meeting him on the Internet. Riley was last seen alive three or four months ago, Tuttoilmondo said. Trenor and Zeigler reportedly told relatives that Riley was taken in July by someone claiming to be an Ohio social worker. They never reported Riley's disappearance to police. A sheriff's deputy and an FBI agent told family members of Riley in Ohio Sunday that they believed Baby Grace was Riley. DePledge told FOX News that they are 99 percent sure that "Baby Grace" is Riley Sawyers. Sawyers would have turned 3 on March 11 “Riley needs to be brought home,” said Laura DePledge, an attorney for the Sawyers family. “The family needs some closure.”

POPS Toxic Toys On The Web::MarkMonitor.com Reports MarkMonitor Reports Recalled Toys Continue to Be Sold Online and Gift Card Scams Threaten Identities These tracked toys--Dora the Explorer, Thomas the Tank Engine, Elmo and Barbie--were pulled from retail shelves in early August, the beginning of a wave of recalls that purged more than 12 million toys coated with toxic lead paint or featuring dangerous, swallow-able magnets. All were made in China Mark Monitor's analysts say they could determine from posted images or item descriptions that around 30% of those items listed on eBay were in fact the recalled versions, banned for toxic contamination or dangerous magnets. MarkMonitor also sifted through three business-to-business exchange sites--Alibaba.com and Made-in-China.com, and iOffer, which sell products to retailers. In this case, the firm's analysts found that around 8% of the listings--some of which offered hundreds of toys--offered one of the four tracked toys.
