It was Saturday December 10th around 9:30 PM when Johnny Salinas last said goodnight to his grand-daughter Candice. Her family unaware that on this evening this would be the last time anyone would see or hear from her. Candice's family having no clue of the unimaginable nightmare that loomed ahead and the journey that no family ever wants to embark on when a loved one vanishes. Candice Renee Shields, "Candy" to her friends; a vibrant 20 year old was three months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. It was early morning the following day on the 11th of December when Salinas her grandfather, whom she shared a home in the small town of Graham, TX went to wake Shields anticipating giving his grand-daughter a ride to work. Shields was expected to report to work that morning at 8AM. She had just begun employment at What-A-Burger, a local burger joint on the prior day. Salinas discovered that Shields was not in her room or in the residence. Her cell phone, purse and all of her personal belongings still in her room. Family members began calling around to various friends and relatives seeking information as to where Shields may be located. Shields' best friend Marissa Munn arrived at the Salinas residence in attempt to determine what Shields may have been wearing when she left the house. After going through personal items and clothing left behind in the room, the determination was made that Shields was most likely in her favorite plaid green pajama pants bearing an XBOX logo, black hoodie sweatshirt and white tennis shoes. Munn, no stranger to familiarity of Shields' personal effects, had been roommates with Shields prior to her moving into her grandparents' residence.
The last words Shields posted on her facebook.com page, along with other postings in the days leading up to her disappearance, rang an ominous tone. Just past midnight pushing into the early hours of the 11th, a post was made by Shields, stating:
"idk wat to do anymore" 12:38am CST via mobile.
Other posts made by Shields indicated she was feeling stressed while trying to locate a vehicle for transportation to and from work. Another early hour posting on the 10th, the night before she was to begin her new job, she posted:
"well if anyone out there finds or sees a car for sale and or nos about one text me or message me please i need a car to get to work and home thnx and i some one can help lol" 2:15am via mobile.
According to Shields' mother, Candice did not have a drivers license and would have had no means to purchase a car at the time as she had just started working that day. Shield's listed on her facebook profile as being"
"in a relationship" with "Jeremy Thornburg"
Candice Shields' mother, Michelle Quillan who lives a couple hours away, has traveled back and forth in efforts to locate her daughter. Quillan is unable to find any logical explanation as to why her daughter would have left behind her cell phone, purse; which contained all of her identification including her brand new debit card, makeup and all personal day to day items including all of her clothes. Quillan and other family members have expressed that Shields is a social butterfly, known to always be on her phone. "It's like she had it glued to her hand, Candice is very social and her friends and family are very important to her" says Quillan. What is even more disturbing Quillan claims that she has learned her daughter had refilled the minutes on her cell phone, which amounted to an unlimited month usage, earlier on the day she was last seen before vanishing. The worry felt by Quillan continued to escalate when a couple of days later her birthday arrived with no call from her daughter. "Out of all my children, Candice is always the first to wish me Happy Birthday and there was no call from her and I really started to panic" says Quillan. Without having the usual contact with her daughter on her birthday only contributed another unusual factor in the realm that Shields did not vanish or leave on her own accord. When asked whether or not Shields had expressed any behavior or issues to family, friends or those in contact with her in the days leading up to her disappearance, Quillan did state that "a family member picked Candice up from her first day of work and she told this member of our family that she had been threatened by a co-worker and that she was scared to go back to work". In a message earlier on the day of Shields disappearance, after finishing her first shift on her new job, she responded to a question left on Facebook inquiring if she has a new job? Then in which yielded Shield's responsed:
"yeh and it very stressful and idk how I am going to do this". December 10th at 3:29PM
With family members confirming Shields' expression of fear that day; the Facebook messages left by Shields could potentially substantiate the unknown events on Saturday, December 10th 2011.
The real question today is where on this earth is Candice Renee Shields? Many people are searching for her and will continue to search for her until she is located. In most cases there is always a "SOMEONE" WHO KNOWS the answers to these burning questions that her family is so desperately seeking "Where is Candice"? The questions in this case; who are these "SOMEONE(s)" who either by accessory or default bear full knowledge or possess limited but possible factual information of Candice Shields whereabouts or potential whereabouts? It is always highly recommended that these "SOMEONE(s) follow the law in proceeding to become forth coming to investigators with ANY information or suspicions or potential of which may assist in locating Candice Shields. I encourage these people to call the Graham Police Department first and foremost with any information. Understandably, there are many situations where these type of "SOMEONE(s)" are as fearful for their own safety and for these "SOMEONE(s)" there is an anonymous tip line set up through the CUE Center that can be dialed on any phone or another option to remain anonymous is by submitting an tip online on the CUE Center website ensuring your identity is protected. The information will then be sent to the authorities but will allow the person(s) to remain anonymous.
Candice Shields' mother and family led the way bringing in ground support last week with a national search organization; Community United Effort also known as "The CUE Center For Missing Person's" who was called at the request of Shield's family along with volunteers from the community.
Candice Renee Shields is loved and missed by many, most of all by her family and especially by her mother. Candice writes on her personal MySpace page under "my heros" she lists her "Mother" as one of them. While there are many remaining unanswered questions surrounding Shields' location, her mother Michelle is not giving up hope in praying her daughter is out there, a best case scenario for a family when a member disappears under unusual classic uncharacteristic circumstances. As recent as today another message of the many posted by Michelle hoping for Candice on Facebook reads:
"Candice . I hope u can see this we if u have a way to a phone please call collect 210-236-8500 we will come a pick u up where ever u r , and if some one has u he will pay , we miss u babe .
And if someone has my daughter and u can read , please let her come home
her family needs her. Candice if u are running this is no way to hide ur family needs u , we r family and thats what family does we stick together thru anything. please call us we can help no matter what it is . its no worth running babe
I love you"
Quillan explained that her family had just moved prior to her daughter going missing, she is not that comfortable putting her phone number on the internet but willing to take any risk to bring her daughter home. You can also follow along information on the family's Facebook page

What is the deal with the boyfriend is he looking for his girlfriend at all? And who threatened her? I hope this young lady comes home safe to her family!!
ReplyDeletethe bf i hurd is gettin bck with lajuanna who is 1 threatnin candice @t wurk. thats dont seem right
ReplyDeleteI know that candice has had alot of trouble in her life and has done some things that arent so great but I do feel for her family and hope she returns safetly to them and her son and unharmed. I also know that lajuana is not a girl that you want to be on her bad side but I dont see her trying to make someone dissapear or do more than fight them. Good Luck to Candice's family I hope the best for you all!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate this so.... Was under the fact that Candice was a mother and also a mother to be, maybe mis led information, but no one... has brought this information up as far as I know. I wish the very best in finding this young girl. One more thing..... where are the helicopters, etc. to help find this girl?
ReplyDeleteI also feel the boyfriend Jeremy Thornberg has something to do with this or knows more...for a boyfriend he does not seem very concerned about her...he has only made one post on his fb page about it and is now also "trying to hook up" with some girl named amanda syko sabin...he also states he is the one getting f@@ked in this situation....other posts from him since this started are just happy carefree posts about football! I mean really someone please tell me they have dug dip and investigated this guy and his other girlfriends..Prayers daily for the family!!
ReplyDeletewow that is crazy. I would not be looking to find a new girlfriend when the one you have now cant be found and is pregnant. her poor family i wonder if he is even helping look for her. does he live in that town. i agree prayers for her family.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is its Graham, TX and if you don't have money or a big name then you are just an afterthought. I can guarantee you that if this was some big shot in Grahams daughter missing there would be dozens of helicopters flying around in a 300 mile radius search looking for her and it would be all over national television.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, where is the helicopters, and if you where rich you would have already been found, and for a guy that's so stressed because his girlfriend, and unborn baby is missing, well he sure talks a lot about sports! And trying to hook up with another girl would be the last thing he would be trying to do, if he was really worried, worried i think not, and from what i have read Lajuana is not sleeping well, and she's having nightmares!! I wonder what that could be caused from????? Just saying! I don't think Lajuana is to be feared as much as some people say, she just seems to be the type that bullies smaller girls! There's several girls that need to be checked into as far as making threats on Candice, and threats to other girls too!
ReplyDeleteThere is always a way to find the answer's...but -yup- this is Graham and none of the things that should have been done already, are going to get done!! just like with my cousin Bridget...it took the dog's the fed's brought in to find her Rite Where They Had Already SUPOSELY LOOKED!! and it was an act of Congress for my Aunt to finally get that done!! This all just brakes my heart it's so so sad and WRONG that nothing has been done like it should have to find Candice...My prayer's r always running strongly..
ReplyDeleteWhat other girls are there and who? You should send your info into the PD or tip line. There is no man worth having to threaten to harm someone over. What other girls would make threats and why?
ReplyDeleteI really wish that the Graham PD would update the public on this case. I've followed it from the beginning here in Dallas, and somethings not right. Number 1, the Boyfriend doesn't seemed to concerned, and number 2, his other baby momma seems to be a real piece of work! Why has an organized search not been done? How about the Texas Rangers? How about a fundraiser so that the family can hire a Private Detective since Graham PD is doing nothing?? What the hell kind of community is this??? They've just let one of their own disappear and not a peep from the PD! It's ridamdicoulous!!!
ReplyDeleteWe need a public message board for Candice and her Family.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be so quick to bash the PD - they are working this case actively. Just because information isn't public doesn't mean they are not doing anything. Continue to pray for Candice Shields family and those working to find her. Also there is a facebook page for Candice. set up by the family.
ReplyDeleteIm not buying it. I dont think the Graham PD is working very hard on it.
ReplyDeleteJUST CURIOUS, IS THERE A REWARD FOR CANDICE??????????????
ReplyDeleteI heard Jeremy n Lajuana are playin house again. WTF!!! to tha poster who wrote other girls were threatin candice who are the girls?
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Since she left her cell phone behind, do they know who the last person/persons she spoke to? Seems to me that the GPD would have at least said something by now. Do they have a suspect/suspects? She was pregnant with the current boyfriends baby, maybe he decided he didn't want another baby since he has one with that black girl. Maybe he lured her out of the house and they both did something to her?
ReplyDeleteIf this was my daughter, that whole town would hate me! I would be picketing every government office and city building they have until someone gave me answers. And not to mention they haven't brought in the helicopters or equisearch. Hell, they haven't organized a search at all!? Why not?
I'm quite sure the police already know about the other threats! If half the people in this town cared there would be a reward for Candice,and the boyfriend apparently doesn't have any concern at all, he slipped into town, and right back out again, and never bothered to get in touch with any family to see what was going on with Candice!! Yes i heard he did not want the baby, that he wanted her to have a miscarriage, Maybe he tried to make her have one, and got a little carried away! If there was a reward people would talk, they will do about anything for money, money means more to people like this than there so called friends!!! He has 2 kids with the other girl! Praying for Candice, and her family! I hope she is found soon, but i feel like it will be the same deal as it was with Shonda, someone will just have to wonder up on her someday, I really hope she is OK, but it's been a long time, and i just can't see a young girl leaving without a thing, especially her phone, i think she would have got in touch with her family by now, I hope someone will have the heart to at least make an anonymous call, or write, an anonymous letter or something, so her family can have closure, the not knowing would have to be the hardest thing in the world to deal with!
ReplyDeletehe only has one other child the other baby that he calls his is the big sister to the baby him and his ex had in oct.
DeleteI feel like she was lured out of the house too!!
ReplyDeleteThe way i see it is J.T.Doesnt care much for Candice or he would be doing more then he is.His ex that threatened Candice has posted alot of not being able to sleep at night,having bad dreams ,and saying that she has lots of haters out there,Plus she posted of walking home from work once in the rain with another friend and that her brother picked her up,a comment was made by the brother that he thought the car was haunted,her comment was yeah i think so too,Who goes around saying thier cars Haunted and why? I believe that they all three know whats happened .
ReplyDeleteI think a search should have arleady been done.seem they are some slacker all around on this case.
ReplyDeleteShe had to have been lured out by someone she knew!!! Why else would she come out of the house, much less leave without her phone?? She knew the person. Its very sad to me that Graham, Texas has chosen to forget about one of their own. And that this mother that lives so far away has to wait and wonder where or what has happened to her daughter. It's heart breaking to see Candice's page and her mother begging for her to contact her, someone, anyone! Candice was a mother, a daughter,a grand daughter, an Aunt, a Cousin, and a friend who apparently needed a friend. Her disappearance is no accident, and should not be taken as if she just walked away! and someone in that stinking town knows something!! I hope when it breaks lose, and it will, that whoever is involved gets the death penalty and nothing less!
ReplyDeleteAnd it IS very sad that a reward has not been offered for this girl! I walked into a Dollar Store and asked about the missing poster and was immediately given details about the BF and his "baby momma", the one that's still alive. I walked out of that dollar store and knew something was not right with either of those two!
Does anyone know what the Candice's BF does for a living, or did for living at the time she went missing?
ReplyDeleteI heard he worked in the oilfield
Deletewell there ya go, the body will never be found then, they need to throw his alien - headed ass down in a hole
Deleteseems likeJ.T. should be doing more then he is if he is Candices unborn babys daddy!!! The ex g/f says she drinks,has bad dreams,& cant sleep lots of nights.She even goes as far as to agree with her brother that his car is haunted.Who goes around saying that thier car is haunted?What reason is there for this,Sounds like to me that her brother,her,and prob j.t all know something and not telling it.
ReplyDeleteI agree.. I think she was lured out of the house.. She just vanished?!?! Something really dosen't seem right about all this.. What about her "boyfriends" ex-girl friends.. has they checked ALL the land around her house?? Didn't she live close to a graveyard?? just sayin, if someone did hurt her, we need to find out and get whoever did it!!! I swear,, is anywhere safe anymore.
ReplyDeleteMabe one day some people will get off there ass and get the search done that should have been dont long ago. I will never hire aS&R if they cant get my search done.in a few days now moet the evidance has washed away are contaminated.
ReplyDeleteI felt compelled to come on here and post this. I am a medium and I keep having a vision of an older red sports car. I don't see much hair if any at all in a shadow vision on the person driving the red car. I feel there is a key person who hasn't been mentioned or thought of and it might not be the very obvious. Does anyone Candice know drive a red sports car?
ReplyDeleteI don't believe that boy wanted this baby at all, He supposedly works at a Wal Mart r something like that, what does he make? Maybe 8-9.00 an hr. who can support 1 kid on that much less 3. I totally believe that at least the two of them had something to do with Candice missing. then right after the boyfriend came for the weekend to see his 2 kids, the ex was posting comments, then real soon after that she deleted them, he didn't want any one to know he had been in town, If he cared about Candice he would be staying in touch with family, just how much can you care about someone anyway when he didn't even know Candice but for around 3 and a half months! They should be the number 1 suspects, as many comments as the ex has made about hating her, I can't believe this has not been solved yet!! I hope people don't start calling our town another Breckenridge,or Mineral Wells!! We have a wonderful Sheriff, I have confidence that he will see to it that this all comes to an end soon, and justice is served if someone has harmed her!!!! Come on Bryan please get the people in here that found Bridgette!
ReplyDeleteI hear they are following up on leads! What's wrong with following up on leads, and having her searched for at the same time??????? It looks like to me that the more help the better, when someone goes missing they should want all the help they can get! There's been so many that wants to come in and help! Why aren't they being allowed to? My God if this was my child i could not stand the thought of her laying out there somewhere, I would never stop looking! How hard could it be to ask some of these guys with private planes to fly over the area where she went missing and look for her?? Graham is not that big, it wouldn't take much to do that!! I know some of these guys, and i'm sure they would be glad to help!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymousFeb 22, 2012 07:23 PM
ReplyDeleteI saw that too! That girl is carrying a heavy burden right now! And if she wasn't involved directly, she was indirectly. Why else would she be drinking and having bad dreams and saying the car was haunted? I don't think that Candice is alive, but I do think that she's not far from Graham. There are lots of back roads and places that Candice could be. I just hope they find her soon. At this point, any evidence is probably gone by now. I hope Candice is haunting her ass and his too!
And why hasn't the BF said anything about missing Candice, or say that he's looking for her? I'm telling you he did it! And that "baby momma" knows it!
ReplyDeleteI feel compelled to call Bull Sh*$ on the Graham PD for not finding Candice and whoever did this!
ReplyDeletetwo arrests were made
DeleteI know most of y'all on here think its the BF and you know i hate him as much as anyone but i know he has nothing to do with Candice going missing he no longer lives in Graham and does not own a car also the night she went missing he was at work ALL night I know this for a fact i am his sister-in-law. if we all stop pointing fingers and people who could not have done it and looked for clues on who does live here and who could have done it then maybe we could help find her
ReplyDeleteYou need to fuck off because he is a piece of shit for what he did to her and the way he left her
DeleteI KNOW HIM AND HE HAS BEEN ALL SMILES EVER SINCE SHE HAS COME UP MISSING. ALL HE DID WAS TRY TO HOOK UP W/ EVERYONE HE COULD AND NEVER WAS WORRIED WHERE SHE WAS, PROBLY CUZ HE KNOWS WHERE SHE IS. HE LIED AND TOLD PEOPLE IN TOWN THAT THE GRAHAM PD CALLED HIM AND SAID CANDICE WAS KILLED BY DRUG DEALERS AND THEY WERE WORKING ON THE CASE W/ A CRIME SCENE AND NO BODY. THAT NEEEVER HAPPENED! HES SPEAKING FROM KNOWLEDGE AND GUILT!!! HE KNEW SHE IS GONE FOREVER. THIS WAS BACK ABOUT A YEAR FROM NOW
DeleteMisty, its awful nice of you to defend and hate him all in the same sentence. But, where is Candice? She was pregnant with his child. If he didn't do it then he knows who did. So with that being said. Still, no Candice. You seem to know so much. Does he pay his child support to his "baby momma"? Did he want this baby that he helped create with Candice? Is he actively looking for Candice? You can't tell me that he had nothing to do with this, or has NO knowledge, or hasn't heard rumors of what did happen to her.
ReplyDeleteI call it as I see it, and with no updates from the Graham PD, I think he does know what happened to her!
Common sense will tell you that you don't have to have a car or be in the town to cause harm to someone that is causing a road block in your life. With the being said I don't make any accusations against anyone but that does not clear a person regardless. His little trash talking filthy mouthed La Ju girl has enough people there locally to do any dirty work along with anyone else he is connected with. Anyone could be a suspect. As well as those who defend against their better knowledge.
ReplyDeleteWhere are all of Candice friends? Where is her BFF? WTF?!!!?!! Has she ever been out handing out posters?
ReplyDeleteIs this like a boy CODE E type of thing going on here? WTF!!!! WHERE IS CANDICE and what have you done with her? ASSHOLES!!!
ReplyDeleteYeppers theres more then meets the eye here and nothings being done about it,The longer they let the guilty get by the more they arent gonna find her.They need to get the b/f.the ex of the b/f and the ones that knows what they did.
ReplyDeleteIf the boyfriend, and the ex where innocent, why wouldn't they just ask for a polygraph?? Sister-in-law you say you hate him, that's mighty strong words for someone, that is suppose to be a christian, if BF doesn't have a vehicle, then how does he get to Graham to see his ex, and children???? Doesn't most bosses frown on you being on the phone, during working hours??? Maybe he was at work, that doesn't mean he didn't have an accomplice!! Sister-in-law you and ex are friends, and i haven't heard you defend her yet!!! I mean ex is the one that has been running her mouth about hating Candice the most, was this one of those jealous things, you know where ex says to bf get rid of her, or you will never see your kids again?? I know if i where innocent i would be begging to have a polygraph! Looks funny to me, the boyfriend never post about Candice, or his unborn baby, he's worried more about sports than them, if that doesn't look guilty then i don't know what does, he's also worried about getting F----d in this situation! He sneaks in and out of town, not wanting anyone to know he's here,sounds like he has something to hide! You would think if he was innocent he would be coming to town and trying to help as much as possible, at least he would get in touch with family and ask if there was anything he could do!! I know exactly how these controlling ex girlfriends can be from experience!! Someone better come forward, before they all go down, the ones that are covering, is as guilty as the ones that had anything to do with Candices disappearance!!!! The first one that talks usually strikes a deal! I wouldn't let my ass fry for anybody, all those so called friends of y'alls, are just that SO CALLED, just wait until it comes right down to it,and see if they don't turn on you!!! When they think they're fixing to spend yrs. in the pen, or even get death, they're going to tell it all! I hope Candice is OK, but i just don't see a young preg. mom running off without a thing, especially her phone, some people have talked, and the guilty ones will have to wonder, who, and what they had to say, and if it was one of there friends, Oh sorry i mean so called friends!! It must suck to always have to be watching your back, and running to the windows to look out to see if someone is coming for you!! If someone did harm Candice, they are selfish cowards, and they need to be taken off our streets!!!! If someone is hiding things for these selfish cowards, they're even bigger selfish cowards!!! I don't know why anyone would want to harm anyone over a guy or girl, if you have to fight for it, it's not worth having!! If you have to fight for someone what's the use? Apparently they didn't want you to begin with, or they would still be with you! Candice will be found, and if they harmed her, they harmed a baby too!! Praying for Candice, baby, and family!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the deal with LAJ she acts and talks so trashy - all can't whoop this and can't whoop me. Why the boyfriend have to sneak in and out of town if he isn't hiding something?
ReplyDeleteLet our Sheriff dept. handle it, they will see to it that there will be justice, and Candice will be found! We have an awesome Sheriff!!!
ReplyDeletePeople like that are the perfect example why they came up with the word Bullies!! I can't believe people are scarred of them!! If someone does know of any one that harmed Candice, and that baby, forget the bullies, and know that God is on your side!! Do the right thing, lift that burden from your heart, and let them do what they need to do to get whoever off of our streets!!!!! Don't give them the chance to hurt someone else!! Someone knows exactly what happened that night, and to scarred to talk!!! I wish to God i new exactly what happened, because it wouldn't bother me a bit to tell!!! I trust in my God to protect me!! This is a young mother where talking about, and a baby, not just one life, but two!!! If something did happen to this mother, and baby quit being a coward, and at least have the heart to make an anonymous call to someone, and tell where she is!!
ReplyDeleteThere will be a prayer vigil in Graham on Saturday, March 17th, from 7 to 8:30 on the courthouse lawn at the GAZEBO. Please go to the Prayer Vigil for Candice Shields Facebook page, click on the invite friends tab on the right & you can invite friends from your friends list. Please help spread the word!!!
ReplyDeleteGuilt is a heavy burden to carry. Someone will start feeling guilty if we keep Candice's name out there with her missing picture. So keep sharing her missing pic & the information regarding her disappearance from the GPD Facebook page.
Let's pray that very one will share this.
Well Well the boyfriend changed his relationship status, he no longer claims to be in a relationship with Candice!!!!!! Hmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteThere's been a $1000.00 reward offered for the recovery of Candice, and that reward is growing!!! There's another $1000.00 for the arrest, and conviction of whoever is responsible for her going missing or harming her!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's a $2000.00 reward for information on Candice Shields whereabouts,and for an arrest, and conviction for whoever may have harmed her. This reward is growing, and no one is giving up on finding this missing pregnant mother!!! Like Candices mom said we are not going away, and our Law Enforcement is going to see to it, that whoever is responsible for this will get what they deserve, If you know something, and you know Candice has been harmed, and you're covering for someone, my best advice to you, is go to the police, and tell what you know, before you too are held accountable!! Someone knows what happened, and you should be smart enough to realize, it's all going to come out sooner or later!!! Sooner for some would be better on your part!! Praying for Candice, baby, and family
ReplyDeleteYes its comming down to whom ever did this to speak up!!!!!! It will do everyones heart good and relived to know where thier sweet Candice is. Those that have helped and have put thier Faith and time into this also. Please do the right thing and let someone know so people can go on with thier lives and not worry about whom your gonna do this too next.Remember god forgives and as long as your not doing anything about this its gonna be worse on ya.
ReplyDelete$2000.00 REWARD for the location of Candice, and the arrest, and conviction of the person, or persons that may have harmed her, and her unborn baby!!!
ReplyDeleteit all comming down to graham people calling Texas Rangers and are Fbi as yall can see this case has moved no where just a bunch lips talking get on the phone to texas rangers fbi state sentors get this girl found .instead of bashing people take the time to search for her.it take everyone to get along and search .make and plane a search day yall can do it
ReplyDeleteWell It's been almost 4 months, and still no search!!! I apologize to you, and your baby Candice!!! For not already having you home, I'm sorry that it seems like our community just don't care, and If someone did harm you,I'm sorry that the coward or cowards that did won't step up, and do what's right! I hope that y'all are safe, and sound, but there's a few of us that will not give up searching every ravine, ditch, pasture,field, just wherever, and whatever it takes, If someone did harm you, they will be brought to justice sooner or later!! Praying for you, baby, and family!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's fixing to possibly be another $1000.00 added to the REWARD for the location of Candice, and an arrest, and conviction of the person or persons that may have harmed her, and her unborn baby!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Graham in years, used to go to HS there many years ago. I hate the place, always have. People are snooty, whether they have money or not. They could be doing a lot more to find her. I feel so bad for her family. My prayers that she is found soon.
ReplyDeleteAs the reward grows larger the guilty get nervous,and make mistakes. I go to What-A-burger regularly and was waited on the other morning by a very uncomfortable employee that could hardly wait on me, knowing that im a friend and supporter of Candice.Words dont have to be spoken,tension was so strong,guilt was there.
ReplyDeleteReward is only $1000.00
ReplyDeleteI live far from TX, so I don't know, but is there any solid evidence to support that the PD is not handling the case properly or investigating as they would with this type of case? If this were true, perhaps some pressure could be placed on them thru media or a petition could be started? From what I have read, it does not appear this is the case but it has been mentioned many times they aren't doing all they could be.
ReplyDeleteWELL IT SEEM OLE LAJUNAA MAY BE BEING MONITORED BY HER KEEPERS OF SECRETS - SOME WILL JUST NEVER BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR TEMPERS. WHO IS THE BOSS THERE IN TOWN?
ReplyDeleteSomethings wrong with this picture!!!
ReplyDeleteSeems as though laj. Is moving in with the bf
ReplyDeleteThe boyfriend has a new girlfriend!! Didn't take him long to forget about Candice, and his baby, now did it? Seems to me it hasn't taken long for a lot of people to forget about Candice, and her baby!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe boyfriend has a new girlfriend!!! He wasted no time! You would think he would be worried about Candice, and his baby if he was innocent, but instead he's going back, and forth between old girlfriend, and new ones!
ReplyDeleteIf everyone took the time to search for her instead of bashing everyone she might get found sitting at the computer wasting you time printing all the up is doing Candice no good. also there is such a thing called freedom of act. read up on it and start making you phone calls people have the right to know why the cops are not giving update. also if you not satified with how the police are doing there jobs i sugest getting Texas Ranger brought in are FBI.

Oh now isn't that sweet, he sure falls in and out of love fast, i remember someone else that said i love you Jeremy Thornburg,and he supposedly loved her so much too! Now where is she at????????? Why hasn't there been a search for Candice yet??????????????? And why does it seem like no one is worried at all about her, and that baby???? Well i wonder if the new girlfriend will have to worry about an EX? Wouldn't you think something that would mean more than anything to him would be his baby that should be born soon???
ReplyDeleteCome on people put two & two together,Jeremys ex made treats towards Candice,Not to long ago she gets a ride from her brother,they both think the car was haunted,for what reason would they say or make this comment? Was that car checked out? Jeremy now has a new g/f with a baby about Candices other lil boys age.Just hope it doesnt turn out like Candice.The Graham police dept needs to do thier jobs and get on the ball.Enough time has been wasted.The more they set back and do nothing , gives them time to do this again.
ReplyDeleteIT WILL BE 6 MONTHS TOMORROW THAT CANDICE HAS BEEN GONE!! WHY HAVEN'T THERE BEEN A SEARCH FOR HER YET, AND THIS LITTLE BABY??????????????
ReplyDeleteGet a cadaver dog in that ex's car.....do something, put pressure on her... This baby is due. Whomever is involved has got to be feeling guilt regarding an innocent baby.
ReplyDeleteI knew Lajuanna and her family VERY well and I just know in my heart that she had something to do with it !!!! Thats just how she is she can be one of the sweetest people UNTIL she dont get her way... and as far as her and her brother they are VERY close to covering up for each other!!!! There are too many facts about Jeremy and Lajuanna !!!! They did something !!! I pray every night for the family and hope that SOMEONE will step up and push the police to investigate some people better !!!! Something else can be done about this !!!!
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly. JT has moved on so quickly that it is clear that he doesn't expect Candice to come back, ever. He started talking about her in the past-tense almost immediately after she went missing. That's a give away that he knows what happened to her.
ReplyDeleteThe ex does not have the same car that she had when Candice went missing! Getting someone with a cadaver dog around here is like pulling teeth!! I don't think Candice will be found now, until there's a reward, or someone will just wonder upon her someday! Someone know's what happened, and money makes people talk!!
ReplyDeleteThis is Graham, it's getting as bad as Breckenridge, and Mineral Wells, there's so many crooked people these days, instead of people that want to do the right thing, and get to the bottom of this, people are always talking about wanting Candice found, and praying for her to be found and all that, it's kinda hard to find someone that's not even being looked for, and hardly anyone ever mentions her name anymore, anytime i mention her name most people just say oh someone will wonder up on her someday, and then just change the subject!! People don't think about what if something bad did happen to Candice, and the person or persons are still out there to hurt others, if they harmed her, they will do it again to someone else someday, and it could be anyone's child!! Several people have made comments about being told that Candice had been killed! I don't know why they aren't interrogating these people like crazy!! Candice has been gone for 7 months, and i don't think she would have been gone that long without contacting at least one friend or family member, why won't our law enforcement ask for help like they did with Bridgette???? One girl that supposedly made a comment about Candice is suppose to be a very Christian person, why hasn't she told everything she knows?????

ReplyDeleteI actually heard someone say today that no one is interested in looking for Candice, because she was a druggy, well you know i don't care what she did in her past, or what she was doing when she went missing, no one, and i mean no one deserves this, her family , and friends still love her, and she still has a baby boy that needs his mommy! People just don't realize it these days, it's not only everyday people that get into drugs, it happens to Dr's kid's, Preacher's kid's, Lawyer's kid's, and on and on! For some reason i believe if it would have been a kid like that though, no matter what they would have been searched for, and not given up on so easily!I got into an argument over this, i couldn't believe what i was hearing, so what if Candice had ever been into drugs!!!! If someone harmed her or murdered her, and a innocent baby that means oh well no one is interested in finding a murderer!! So let them keep wondering around our streets, that's what's wrong with this world today, what a screwed up justice system we have!!!!!!!!!! What if someone did murder Candice, they are more than likely on drugs too, so they just get to walk free, and given a chance to do this again???? I really thought we had people in our town that cared more than this! All the people that are suppose to be trying to help find her, where are they? Not a word, no updates, nothing!!!!!! So if you have ever done drugs or been in any kind of trouble you are not worth being looked for!! God made all of us, and no matter what we have ever done he forgives us, but i feel sorry for the ones that wasn't interested in helping find one of his lost children! And the ones that know what happened to her, and aren't saying a word!!
ReplyDeleteit really is amazing that JT has moved on. Defriended his missing girlfriend on Facebook. Defriended her missing page. And already has a new girlfriend who goes by his last name on Facebook. I wonder what his other ex thinks about this? Hopefully nothing lethal. Pathetic is what it is. Also missing is BW from her friends list. Some friends or boyfriends. They seem real concerned that Candice is nowhere to be found. Only ones lack of concern is suspicious at least.
ReplyDeleteI really wish someone would do something about this !!!! People keep saying oh well she will show up one day ...... I dont think that is the case anymore.... as bad as I hate to say it.... she should have already had the baby and she had to go to a hospital somewhere !!!! Every time I see Lajuanna I get a sick feeling deep down in my stomache !!! Her and Jeremy know exactly what happened Candice...... I pray daily for the family and for whoever knows something to come forward !!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous i totally agree with you!! I just don't understand what is wrong with the people in this town!!!!! I don't know why there has been no search for her!!!!! Maybe with hunting season coming on someone will wonder up on her, and at least she, and the baby will be able to be brought home, and everyone will have closure! So sad! Praying for the family, and for someone to have a heart and come forward!!!!
DeleteSo, as I was snooping around on ole girl LL's fb page, I saw that she posted she was moving to the "lleine" with her new "baby daddy", not the sperm donor one". I'm assuming this is Abilene, Texas. I find it very strange that JT has left town and now she is too? Does anyone know if she's left yet? And, what is going on with the investigation? Are there any plans for a ground or air search to find try and find Candice? Maybe LL is leaving because Bird and Deer season is coming up and she doesn't want to be in town in case a body is found?? What a bunch of KEYSTONE cops there in Graham, Texas. I really believe THEY ARE SCARED OF THE LOW LIFE SCUMBAGS THAT THRIVE IN THAT TOWN?
ReplyDeleteIn 6 days it will be 9 months since Candice has gone missing, and it seems like no one even cares, or even talks about her anymore, how sad!!!!!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletei think i know something about her disappearance. she was taken by a man in a women on pearl street. in a 1983 thunderbird car. the man had a beard and green eyes wore a tupa. the women had short blonde hair, blueish green eyes. i don't want to scare anyone. she just keeps visiting me in my dreams and giving me clues of possibley where she's at and if it helps i keep seeing the number 316. i don't know it if it was the time she was taken or dissapeared. i'm not sure. plz contact me if u know anything. family of hers would be helpful.

This comment was posted on one of Candice's page's, and the girl that posted it has a striking resemblance to Candice!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like JT (the alleged father of the child Candice was pregnant with at the time of her disappearance), has wasted no time in the baby-making department...HIS CURRENT GIRLFRIEND IS PREGNANT!!!!! Good Lord...
ReplyDeleteWhy can't someone answer this simple question! Why has there been no search for Candice??? Everyone acted so concerned about her, and her unborn baby at first, now it's like oh well, never hear anything about her, nothing about a search for her, not even her friend's say anything about her!!
ReplyDeleteThere have been searches, the PD actively follows this case, and no one has proven if she was taken. ALL reports say NO "foul play" is suspected, and that her disappearance is unusual.
ReplyDeleteThere have been leads as someone has already mentioned, but not all information is made public.
Blaming the PD, her ex boyfriend, and some lady who works at Whataburger isn't bringing this woman back.
I think more positive comments and ideas about solving this mystery would be much more helpful to this family in distress.
The quote below was taken from LL's facebook page.
ReplyDelete"Lajuana Long Yea baby daddy wanna talk shit today at court talk bout beatin me up him n his ugly bitch n talkin down on my baby hoes don't kno me I will go straight Rachel on them niggas n duck them off bro"
Well, I see ole LL is back at it again threatening people and talking about how DECEMBER is a bad month for her! Gee..I wonder why??
Anything new?
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteGraham Police have arrested Jeremy Thronburg in this case
ReplyDeleteyou people are idiots speculating over stupid rumors and then adding your own idiotic stories. I'm sorry you have nothing else to do.
ReplyDeleteRon B- U mad?
ReplyDeleteHe must be!
ReplyDeleteThe LL camp is aweful quiet! Let's hope JT leads them to her body as soon as he cuts a deal with the prosecutor.
ReplyDeleteCandy was a personal friend of mine. she saw me off when I left to college and remained a cherished friend even after I left graham. I worked with Jeremy shortly and he was a childhood friend of my brothers that being said I never figured him for a very violent person. Candice and Jeremy looked happy about a month before she went missing when I saw them in walmart. as for the speculation about lajuana, I know her also and she may be very verbal in her moments of anger but to assume she is involved in this simply because of facebook posts is ridiculous. If facebook was fact there would be many people in jail. My heart goes out to Candys family and I hope that by some miracle she is healthy and alive.
ReplyDeleteI too hope that Candice is alive and well, but I fear that JT being arrested and charged with murder means that this is not the case. My heart goes out to her family and to her son, and to the girl who is carrying JT's child.
ReplyDeleteWell Lajuana deleted her Facebook
ReplyDeletejeremy has ruined many lives. that is a fact
ReplyDeleteBy the way the girl that is carrying his child right now is Married!!!! & has 2 kids with her husband!!! I have been searching the web ever since I found out about his arrest. From what I have been able to gather Jeremy seems to move on pretty quick. He had a child around October 2011. Candice disappears December 2011. He then starts sleeping with my someone's wife in May 2012. Eventually getting her pregnant. Like I said he has ruined many lives. I pray for Candice and her family. I hope he burns in hell.
ReplyDeleteFirst off I know the girl he got pregnant her , she had been separated frm her husband before she met Jeremy , her and Jeremy even lived together until recently , and have been together for almost a year , what I don't understand is how Jeremy's family (from what I hear) is only worried about tht Lajuana girl basically givin her a sad parade no one has tried to contact Sarah n ask her how her n baby is doing She's due soon you'd think they'd care about that baby
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is how the police got the evidence that JT did indeed go to Graham that night? I wonder if he told the new GF what he did and when they broke up she went to the police. And what does that mean that his family is giving LL a sad parade? I think she knew he did it too and may have been involved. Why did she delete her facebook page all of a sudden? I'm sad that she deleted it, because at times she was quite entertaining! Always talking about who she's gonna beat up, even pissed off at the new GF? He had some balls to try and get away with not paying child support to ole LL! I think maybe she knew and when he did that she turned his ass in! Maybe she cut a deal with the prosecutor? Makes sense to me. Someone has to raise his kid.
ReplyDeleteSEEMS TO ME HES GUILTY OF SOMETHING OR ELSE HIS BOND WOULDNT BE SO MUCH,750.000 .NOT ONLY DID HIS BABYS MAMA LAJ TAKE OFF HER FACEBOOK,BUT THEY TOOK OFF JEREMYS TODAY ALSO. ME.MAKES SCENCE TO ME.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 12:37 am. I think you are right! What does LL have to hide?
ReplyDeleteThere is a post on Big Country Homepage that there has been remains found, that could be Candice, does anyone know the truth of that. Candice is a dear friend of mine and I want answers I went to school with her, she babysat my children and to believe that this is the outcome is unreal. I just want my dear friend layed to rest.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @3.51pm.
ReplyDeleteThe link below refers to the Editor of the Graham Newspaper subsequently claiming that no remains have been found.
http://www.reporternews.com/news/2013/feb/06/texas-rangers-and-graham-police-make-abilene-in/
I hope that there will be something soon which will lead to an outcome and closure for her, her poor family and her friends, including yourself.
Well Thornburgs babys mama has been arrested in Candices murder.She has a 750.000 dollar bond also.People are saying innocent until proven guilty.Their bonds wouldnt be so high if they didnt have something on these two terriable people.
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda obvious that she threatened Candice one morning, and then the next morning she disappears! I believe all along that everyone knew it would come down to an arrest for these two!! Now maybe this little girl can finally be brought home to her family! What a terrible waste of a life, several live's, all over what appears to be a little jealousy!! I will never understand just what goes through peoples minds!! Prayers for the family, and babies!! RIP Candice
ReplyDeletePrayer's to the Family of Candice.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 4:34pm
ReplyDeleteI agree! So far I've seen NOTHING! Let's just hope that JT and LL are talking and they find Candice's body!
Ive heard that Lajuana is being released
ReplyDeleteShe probably talked and turned on Jeremy
ReplyDeleteI have known LL for many years; even though we have not been in contact as much as I would like. What happen to 'innocent until proven guilty'? The young lady I know is a beautiful person; one that I was proud she called "my other mom". I went to school with both of Candice's parents I cant imagine the hell they are going thru but it seems her mom is doing so with grace; some people out their should take lessons. If LL is guilty then yes she needs to face the consequences;but until this is proven in the courts people need to remember there is ALWAYS more to the story than the press or rumor mills tell us. My prayer is that the families of EVERYONE involved learns the truth soon. Candice's parents deserve to know what happened to their precious daughter and the right people need to be convicted.
ReplyDeleteAnd the right ppl our going to be convicted LL is trash and not a good person just like jt
ReplyDeleteAnyone with common sense knows these two our guilty, alot of information points. To them they would have not been arrested if they didnt have anything to do with it
ReplyDeletethey should check the car she had an talk to the ppl she lived with someone knows more than their saying an this poor girl an than baby need to be found
ReplyDeleteSo whats goin on????
ReplyDeleteABOUT 20 SOME HRS AGO IT WAS TOLD ON VICTIMS VOICE NEWS THAT CANDICE HAD BEEN SHOT & THAT JEREMY AND LAJ BOTH DID IT AND THAT THEY DONT KNOW IF A GUN OR HER BODY HAS BEEN FOUND.
ReplyDeleteWHO KNOWS HOWS MANY PEOPLE JT HAS ACTUALLY HURT BESIDES CANDICE .MAYBE THEY SHOULD COMPARE HIS GUN TO ALL OF THOSE GIRLS THAT WERE SHOT IN MINERAL WELLS TEXAS ALSO,
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you.
DeleteI agree with you also..
DeleteDoes anyone know if jt's girlfriend has had their baby yet
ReplyDeleteHas there been any word out on JT and LL? Cannot find anything. With father's day today it just makes you hurt knowing Candice's grandpa will never ever see her again. Heartbreaking.
