ABOUT GINA: Singer/songwriter, Jannel Rap's sister Gina Bos, disappeared Oct 17, 2000. Gina's story had no scandal, no suspects and lacked the hook and intrigue to get the attention of the national public. Gina had simply vanished after performing at a pub in Lincoln, NE. Six months of slamming doors inspired Jannel into action . . . and the concept of using entertainment to get attention for the missing was born.

In 2001, Jannel organized a concert series in honor of her sister, called GINA for Missing Persons, bringing together recording artists from all over the country in an effort to raise awareness of all the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and children who go missing every year. In addition, through GINA (Welcome to 411Gina.org - Uncovering Missing Pieces To Find The Missing) Jannel has produced a television series called "America Lost and FOUND", and now hosts a monthly international webcast featuring missing persons from around the globe.

Missing Rocker's Family Turns To AMW

"One time, when Brian was 8 years old, we were at a restaurant and I told him I would give him five dollars if he would eat a hot pepper. He did, and he cried for an hour because it burnt his tongue," said Bonnie Olhausen, the aunt of 25-year-old Brian Barton, who went missing in March 2005 from his Federal Way, Wash. apartment.

More than two years later, Brian's family has not given up hope and are still searching for the beloved rock band member.  "I need to find him," Bonnie said when she contacted AMW for help.  "I never gave him the five bucks."

Fate" Band Member Is Unknown

Witnesses told Federal Way police that Brian, who worked for a plastic molding manufacturer, was last seen on March 10, 2005, at his apartment in the 1300 block of SW Campus Drive, shortly after 5:00 pm. Cops say all of Brian's personal belongings were left behind, and the only peculiar clue that was discovered at the house was a sliding screen door that was found off of its track.

Brian was a member of the rock band As Fate Would Have It, which performed gigs at bars, clubs and tournaments.  According to cops, the band had recently received a recording contract from southern California record company, but Brian, who was preparing to quit the band, was holding out. Fellow band members, cops say, were trying to convince Brian to go to California with them.

Days after Brian vanished, detectives discovered a 1976 Ford pick-up truck that belonged to one of the band members at a local junkyard.  The truck was completely destroyed, and cops were not able to find any new clues that aided the investigation into Brian's disappearance.

Brian's Disappearance Turns Into Cold Case

Cops say Brian had recently learned that he was adopted.

"Brian was always happy, and always had a smile on his face," Bonnie said.  "He was adopted at birth, but we never gave it much thought after bringing him home from the hospital. So many times growing up, Brian would make comments like, 'Grandpa I have your hands.  Aunt Bonnie, I have your big feet.'  Hours later it would hit us that he could not have his grandpa's hands or my big feet."

In 2007, the King County Sheriff's Department Cold Case Squad took over the investigation into Brian's disappearance.

Let's help reunite Brian with his family. If you know where Brian Barton is, or anything about his disappearance, call AMW right now at 1-800-CRIME-TV.

Residents & Military Take Sides on New North County Area Code

Reported by: Eric Collins
Last Update: 9/05 6:58 am
Video at link

More than 100 North County residents and business owners speak out against a plan to split the 760 area code.

"This could severely impact us.  I urge you, please don't take away our identity," said William Ims,  a North County realtor.

This past April the California Public Utilities Commission approved a new 442 area code for 14 North County communities stretching from the coast all the way east to Borrego.

"How can they do this to us," said Maureen Barton.

Barton's 29 year old son Brian has been missing for more than three years.  Her phone number is listed on numerous websites and posters and fliers across the country, but if she's forced to take a new area code,  she worries Brian or tipsters won't be able to reach her.

"Our telephone number is our lifeline,  our communication with him if he is somewhere around and wants to contact us," said Barton.

State regulators signed off on the split because we're running out of telephone numbers, but members of the military are asking for a compromise.

They want the P.U.C. to institute an area code overlay,  which would only assign the 442 area code to any new telephone customers.

"We get on average 2.5 million phone calls monthly on base," said Colonel Jim Seaton.

Seaton is the Commanding Officer at Camp Pendleton.  He says an area code split would also severely impact more than 10,000 local marines and sailors who are currently overseas.

"Their family members that stay back here have a lot of rocks in their pack right now,  if you will.  There are a lot of things going on.  This is another irritant that they probably don't need to contend with at this point.

Only one member of the Public Utilities Commission attended tonight's public hearing.  He's the only commissioner who actually voted for the area code overlay.  He believes he can convince some of his fellow commissioners to change their minds.

The final vote on the area code switch will happen in mid October.

Note: Project Jason assisted Brian's family by submitting a protest letter to be read at the hearing. We hope the PUC does the right thing.

Missing Federal Way man to be on America's Most Wanted

A man who went missing from Federal Way in 2005 will be featured on a Sept. 13 airing of America's Most Wanted as part of the search to find him.

Brian Roy Barton – who a Federal Way police spokeswoman said is not suspected of any crime – was last seen on March 10, 2005 at his apartment in the 1300 block of SW Campus Dr.

Barton was a guitarist in the rock band As Fate Would Have It, which signed a record contract shortly before Barton's disappearance. In June 2005, police impounded his 1987 Toyota pickup, but that didn't produce any strong leads, Federal Way police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock said.

Federal Way detectives did work on the case throughout 2006, she said. The last activity was in 2007 when police interviewed more witnesses in relation to his disappearance.

"At this time, it's a cold case," Schrock said Thursday.

The America's Most Wanted segment airs at 9 p.m. Saturday on FOX, broadcast in Seattle on channel 13.

Anyone with information on Barton's disappearance is asked to call Federal Way Police Det. Greg Wells at 253-835-6751.

Awareness Angels Network (AAN). AAN, begun by Project Jason in 2008, provides a way for the public to assist the families of missing persons. Missing persons posters designed specifically for the AAN program are disseminated via email to those enrolled in the program.
