Eight years ago, after an acrimonious divorce, Cook's ex-wife took their three children Zachary, then 8, Angela, 6, and Audrey, 3 to Salem, then vanished. Cook hasn't seen the children since.

His children are among nearly 600 Hoosier youngsters listed as missing, according to the Indiana Missing Children Clearinghouse, which gathers information from the state's police departments. Most missing children are considered runaways, but a surprising number are victims of family or parental abductions, the National Center for Missing Exploited Children says. "It's only been within the last five years people have realized there was such a thing as parental abduction," said Andre Clark, director of the clearinghouse, which publishes a quarterly bulletin for police, schools, libraries and hospitals. Parents who take children from a parent are usually motivated by anger or revenge rather than the child's well-being, said Greif, a Maryland researcher and Nationally, there's no accurate accounting for the number of children illegally taken by parents or other relatives. But Greif, associate dean and professor at the School of Social Work at the University of estimates Maryland, to 15,000 children are abducted each year by parents for longer than two weeks.

Kids are taken from one parent by another after a breakup "a lot than people realize." said Patrick Counahan, a Pompano Beach, private investigator who has worked on parental abduction cases for more than 20 years.

A total $289,085 in stolen property was recovered during the year, however. At the Johnson County jail, a total of 5,406 prisoners were processed into jail in 1998.

Jailers transported about 1,600 inmates to jails in other counties where they were wanted on arrest warrants. This measure began early in 1998 as the county struggled to reduce its overcrowded jail population, while facing a class-action lawsuit from the Indiana Civil Liberties Union. Late in the year, the county agreed to spend $12 million to renovate and expand the jail to end inmate overcrowding. Statistics from the jail reveal how many prisoners were arrested countywide by all police agencies on various charges, not just the Sheriff's Department. Data on arrests by individual police departments were not available.

Tom Shively Sheriff's department. spokesman Shively found it interesting that 229 people older than 18 but younger than 21 were arrested countywide on charges of possession of alcohol by a minor. A total of 333 people across the county were arrested for marijuana in 1998.

And another 44 were arrested on charges of possession of or dealing controlled substances, such as LSD. Shively, who teaches the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program in Indian Creek schools, believes alcohol, marijuana and LSD remain the drugs of choice among local school-age children. father or mother's influence on their children. Zachary is now 17, Angela, 15, and Audrey, 12. "Everybody needs something to complete their lives," he said.

"Your relationship with your parents (and children) is one of the most important aspects of completing your life. I'll probably look for them forever." Police agencies that take complaints of missing children must enter. information into the Indiana Data and Communications System and the National Crime Information Computer System. When a child is taken by a parent, police can use the clearinghouse to get the word out, but police can't chase leads nationwide, Capt. Ed Tutweiler of the County Police Department said.

"We have a different set of rules from a private investigator," he said. "They do what they want to; police as a whole can't." "All three of them are readily available," he said. LSD, often called "acid," typically is soaked onto pieces of blotter paper and can profoundly alter thinking and perception when licked or ingested. Each dose, or "hit," costs as little as $4 to $7. "It's easy to obtain, and it's easy to hide, and it's easy to consume.

It's simply a piece of paper with acid on it," Shively said. Unlike marijuana, which must be smoked, or alcohol, which must be swallowed, LSD can be hidden secretly under the tongue. Kids could take doses in school or at home without their. teachers or parents noticing, he said. The Sheriff's Department has one detective assigned to narcotics investigations, and also participates in a State Police drug task force.

"It's a different mentality," Shively said of the illicit drug trade. "If drugs were not so profitable, we would not have the drug problem we have today. It's for people looking for a fast buck, who live their life for how much money they have." bargain 1. an agreement between parties settling what each gives or receives in a transaction between them or what course of action or policy each pursues in respect to the other 2. something acquired by or as if by bargaining, especially an advantageous purchase 3.

The root of the Cook children's disappearance. was Ed and Rebecca L. Cook's bitter divorce July 1985, Ed Cook said.

1990, shortly after Rebecca Cook obtained her children's school records, Ed Cook went to Salem, and discovered they were staying at a women's shelter. But they vanished before police could act. Police came close to Rebecca Cook's trail a second time but couldn't catch up, said Lt. Mike Keesler of the Allen County Police Department. Keesler believes an underground organization has helped Rebecca Cook stay ahead of authorities.
