The Missing Keene Kids web site consists of copies of original documents, chronologies of events, and a series of articles. Welcome to this new blog feature, which may be best understood in the context of the basic story of the kidnapping and abuse of my children -- Feb. 1, 1995 to present -- described on this web site.

June 7, 2010 Dear Grace and Jimmy, please take a look at my new blog, Independent Investigation of Truth. Hope you like it. Also, for Grace, in my comment on another Baha'i blog here, I tell a little story about when you were just starting in school in Medford Lakes in about 1990. Do you remember that?

Oct 4, 2009 As the "victim father" in a successful child kidnapping, do my continuing postings on this web site over the years create further alienation and anger in my children? Some would say "yes". A "par for the course" given is that alienation and anger toward their father was carefully cultivated by the kidnappers over more than a decade of captivity. In short, does this web site make that worst?

Alternative 1 is my silence or even acceptance of the wickedness that has so severely oppressed my children. In that case, then children Grace and James would have no honorable, truthful parent at all. How could that be better for them? Conclusion: I was raised to be a reputable person of integrity -- now for more years than twice the age of my kids, and it's too late for me to change fundamentally and embrace evil. Especially the evil that has been implanted in the very fabric of my kids' life experience by their abductors.

Alternative 2 is abducted children will at some point decide to unload the burden of the "bricks in their backpacks" of alienation and anger, if such is the case, toward their own innocent flesh and blood.

Aug 28, 2009 In the news today, the Jaycee Dugard story -- kidnapped at age 11 and now, some 18 years later, returned to her grieving parents. Highlight: reportedly, 29 year-old Jaycee is experiencing guilt for "having bonded with her abductors". Have my kidnapped children "bonded" with their abductors? They were kidnapped at ages 7 (son James) and 10 (daughter Grace) by their deranged mother Feb 5, 1995. Yet some 14 years later, at present, the grieving parent (the author) still awaits their return and any public or private acknowledgement of what happened to them in all those years.

July 15, 2009 Before son James was born and when daughter Grace was a toddler, I wrote a screenplay and did lots of pre-production development. Now you kids can find out about it, since, due to recent inquires, I put up a web site "The Dawn-Breakers" production-ready feature film property. Are you proud of your daddy?

Here's a reader feedback to chew on:

Subject: Wake up

You sound like a bitter serial defamation machine. If what you allege is true you would be vindicated. I have met your daughter on several occasions. She is a sweet young lady.

Based on your blog and venemous attacks without a semblance of credibility lead me to assume she saved her children from you.

...and my reply:

Hello, anonymous. All the site does is present facts on a most unusual situation/story. It defames nobody! You didn't read carefully, apparently. Can you cite even one instance of defamation (much less multiple/serial)? I think not. So you misread material which *is* controversial, and misinterpreted it as defamation of some one or more persons.

Re "sweet lady", of course! Who has said or intimated anything different? I love her very much; she's my daughter, you know.

>Based on your blog and venemous attacks without a semblance of credibility lead me to assume she saved her children from you.

Oh, the truth is now known; you support child kidnapping and abuse. OK, next step is to have the nerve to stand up and justify your position and *sign* your name so you can be taken seriously. So come out of the closet! Write a brief position paper on why you support child abduction and maybe I'll post on the web site!

>Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Well, that's impressive! You input all that with that little keypad? Wow. Neat.

...please try to distinguish between justice and defamation -- there's a big difference. My site deals with justice and misrepresenting it as defamation (yuk) gets you nowhere, since it makes you appear to be favoring injustice or possibly a "blame the victim" ploy.

Think about it. The web site defends my children and defames nobody (since all are facts and reasonable perspectives).

My Grace and James are also victims; would you blame them, too?

Warm regards and best wishes, Jim

June 14, 2009 Svali Speaks purports to be an account by an Illuminati defector. Svali describes the "programming", "mind-control" or "training" of children by techniques which are cruel and horrendous. Regardless of the veracity of Svali's story -- it might be a hoax, the "training" to which Illuminati children are allegedly subjected (starting in Charpter 4 in the above link) did remind me of the apparently very effective "training" in anti-family values which my kidnapped children received since their 1995 abduction by the Davis-Flores clan.

Consider that my son James has a perfect record of not speaking to or communicating with his own father! In a certain context, this is a remarkable achievement, a noteworthy victory and evidence of the anti-family training he received for over a decade of abuse by the abductors. Before his kidnapping, he was very out-spoken and pro-family, loving both his father and mother. Clearly, the "training" he received as a captive of his abductors appears to have completely broken his spirit, gutted his love for parents, and rendered him mute concerning the most important issues in his life.

For example, in the months after the kidnapping, the children were exposed to the complete fabrication that they would get their father back, since I planned to move to Puerto Rico. In fact, there was no such plan; and this bait-and-deny tactic may bear some similarity to the "mind-control" training described by Svali to suppress normal wants and needs of children, as part of a program to generate unquestioned loyalty to the Illuminati cult.

Please note the apparent permanence of this anti-family training! Now in his 20s, apparently physically healthy and strong, my son James cannot say a single word to his own father, while normally we might expect that such a young man could stand up and be counted to speak his mind. This glaring contrast between a normal young person and a muted "programmed" one is a strong testimony to the effectiveness years later of "mind-control" practiced on young children.

For new visitors to this site, yes, this entry about Svali is a bit unusual. Further exploring this site's content, one will find I've tried about every possible approach, all to no avail -- humor, art as in songs or movies, logic, presenting facts, etc. And this is further evidence of how effectively my children have been programmed to ignor all the important, essential things in life in favor of their "trainers" -- the corrupt Davis-Flores clan.

Aug 9, 2008 Headline: Potential defense in Rockefeller kidnap case appears problematic We have great news for attorney Stephen B. Hrones of Hrones, Garrity & Hedges, currently representing the "mysterious Clark Rockefeller". Convincing witnesses!

First, there is psychiatrist Nilda M. Davis-Flores (aka Nilda Keene) who knows how to get away with child abduction across state lines (back and forth between New Jersey and Puerto Rico in 1995), as documented beyond doubt on this web site. Dr. Nilda knows how to kidnap children and evade the law -- she has done it successfully. And her child-kidnapping sister, Anna Davis-Flores, and brothers could no doubt fill in important "how to stay out of prison" tips.

Not to mention a potentially convincing fairness issue. If the Davis-Flores crew lead by Dr. Nilda can engage in child abduction with impunity, why should anybody be prosecuted? Not only was there no prosecution, the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners lets the kidnapper practice medicine. In other words, in all fairness, maybe Clark Rockefeller should be given some award for his efforts.

Second, FBI Special Agent Mulligan, who, when operating out of the Trenton, NJ, FBI office, claimed that interstate child kidnapping is not illegal. This would be a great "expert witness". No doubt he would take the stand and wonder out loud why the Clark Rockefeller case is even heard by any court. Attorney Hrones, please see FBI Contacts Victim Family After Eight Years for all the definitive detail.

If these professional and expert witnesses aren't enough, there is always my kidnapped children. Who knows what they might testify? Maybe that being kidnapped as a child is a wonderful experience. Who knows? Worth a try. If real, live kidnapped children endorse child abduction, what jury would convict?

On the other hand, my kidnapped children, now young adults, might decide to tell the truth -- of the living hell caused by their "psychiatrist" mother and the Davis-Flores gang.

Sep 27, 2007 Recent media reports characterize O J Simpson as "narcistic and psychopathic," a description that fits well with known facts on the child abductors in the Missing Keene Kids story. Another parallel is that none including ring-leader Nilda Davis-Flores (aka Keene) have been made accountable for crimes committed or damage caused.

What happens to the Keene Kids or O J's children growing up for over a decade under the control of one or more narcistic psychopaths? The narcissism part -- selfishness, self-centeredness -- is clear. Nilda could daily betray her children with no justification other than to serve her own delusions and fantacies. The psychopathic part is, of course, the ability to betray supposed loved ones on a daily basis and otherwise behave without regard to accepted social norms, not to mention numerous laws.

A parent might worry that some loss of emotional functionality might be "the hell to pay". Functions like empathy, abilities to express and appreciate feelings in self and others, intimacy, ability to trust and be trustworthy and the like. Has one ever cried during a sad movie or does the emotional content just fly by unappreciated? How do these functions develop when children are forced to attempt survival under the control of narcistic psychopaths?

This sort of question has been a theme since the original publications on this web site and explains, if you will, why my previous two blog entries here -- July 9 and June 25 -- focussed on the arts: a movie and a song. The arts ... in a way that highlights emotional functions.

July 9, 2007 "Maybe someday you'll understand what I tried to do," the dad said to his full-grown child in the movie "All In", seen this evening of my son's 20th birthday. Happy birthday.

What son James might know well is betrayal, deception and other components of playing the con game that he was forced to endure each and every day for over twelve years as a kidnapped child. His abductors never gave him the opportunity to see "what I tried to do."

Therefore, since the age of 7, he never could learn by example what words like these mean in real life -- emphathy, love, loyalty, justice, family, honesty, integrity and the like. He experienced the opposite.

"Maybe someday ..." Hey, Jimmy, you are a worthy person; no need to hide from other worthy persons, including yourself. Hint #1: You can do it.

Child abduction has no statute of limitation for the Davis-Flores clan perpetrators. The duration and severity of damage done to kidnapped children also has no clear limitation. Hint #2: Better to do something to assert your own dignity and self-worth sooner rather than later.

Quiz: What was Hint #1? (smile)

June 25, 2007 Playing a music tape, this Reggae song made me think of my son, James, who appears to remain wrapped up in some sort of mental or emotional captivity:

Alli Alli Ho
by Mikey Spice

1 (E A / E B7)
In the midst of my success, the enemies arising
trying to eat up my soul, oh, yeah.
But I know Jah's love will always protect me,
and he'll preserve my soul, oh, well.
(G# A) Make haste, oh God, to deliver me,
(G# B7) and lift me high so that they can see, while I'm singing...

CHORUS (E A / E B7)
Alli Alli Ho, I see Moses, uh, yeah.
Alli Alli Ho, here is Joshua on the hilltop shouting.
Alli Alli Ho, I see David, uh, boy.
Alli Alli Ho ...

2 (E A / E B7)
Now I speak the truth, and we see who will confront me,
knowing the hypocrites, they always watching.
(G# A) Let them be ashamed who seek after my soul.
(G# B7) Let them be turneth back, who wish to see me go down.
Let me shout ...

CHORUS (E A / E B7)
Alli Alli Ho, I see Moses standing tall and I sing.
Alli Alli Ho, I see Joshua, uh yeah.
Alli Alli Ho, ... (let me hear you sing)
Alli Alli Ho ...

3 (G# A / G# B7)
Be merciful, Jah, Jah, when I call unto thee.
Hear my cry when I'm on my bended knees.
Ew, cool waters are rough on me.
Perserve my soul, oh Jah; preserve my soul, oh Jah.

CHORUS (E A / E B7)
Alli Alli Ho, I see Moses, uh yeah.
Alli Alli Ho, I see Joshua, oh yeah.
Alli Alli Ho, I might see David on the hilltop shouting.
Alli Alli Ho ...

I performed this song. The lyrics and chords above are my transcription in the band's song-book. As with many Reggae songs, moral and religious themes are explored. This one was included in many shows because of its strong lyrics and it was a big hit in the Caribbean.

My son James, can you see David on the hilltop shouting to you? Can you find your soul?

Mar 11, 2007 Mega-News: Happily, my beloved daughter Grace contacted me in a Jan 26 email. Since then, she and I have exchanged many emails and phone calls. I am still absorbing this wonderful development and am very proud of Grace. Applause for her maturity and character to initiate this "new relationship" with her father.

Many questions remain -- especially the condition of my son James R Keene, still an "orphan by choice". One question, I myself can answer. For twelve years, I was treated as a person who did not exist and it sure feels good to be recognized as "existing" by at least one child.

Perhaps discovery by Grace and James that their father has become a child and parent rights activist via this web site has had some effect.

On other matters, thanks to visitors who have sent emails about this web site. Several misconceptions might be mentioned:

1. The purpose is not to dwell on victimhood. For example, the term "victim parent" is used only to cross-reference this accepted descriptor with reputable literature on child abduction.

2. The purpose is not to turn the kids against their abductor mother. My son and daughter have already experienced such an injustice, being turned against their father by the Davis-Flores kidnappers. The last thing anybody would want is to do the same thing in reverse. Indeed, this site clearly documents from the very beginning in 1995 that "Dr. Nilda" needs help and accountability. The abducting and abusing mother would clearly not be helped by being shunned by her children, as I was wrongly shunned for so many years. And when my children are able, they might help their mother on the accountability issue to take responsibility, for a change, for her own wrongful and unlawful actions.

Rather, this Missing Keene Kids site tells a story. Much of that story recounts numerous actions recommended by experts, which did not work to achieve a remedy, although in other cases such actions might well work. Ironically, the internet and this web site may be the only thing that does work, that the Davis-Flores child abductors did not take into consideration and in the end, could not overcome to succeed in their wicked plan to turn a parent into a non-entity and innocent children into orphans.

Reality check: This story has completed its beginning, has entered the middle, and may travel many chapters before the end, hopefully to the benefit of the site's many visitors.

Jan 25, 2007 In the Shawn Hornbeck kidnapping case, featured on cable news channels and other media, many are puzzled by the inner workings of Shawn's psyche that might explain his behavior. Was Shawn brain-washed? Did Shawn have the Stockholm Syndrome or a new descriptor: Child Abuse Accommodation Syndrome?

My kidnapped and abused children -- Grace J Keene and James R Keene, might know. Or do they? All evidence I have indicates they don't know. They seem completely oblivious to the real world out here, where the vast majority of the population shares basic moral and family values.

If this is true, that they do suffer from a prisoner syndrome as a result of their kidnapping, detention and forced separation from family, then self-awareness and common social norms are just something they do not have. That is, Grace and Jimmy would be unaware that they suffer from this sort of victim syndrome.

This would explain why they made no effort to contact or to spend time with family, especially as they entered adulthood, where some sort of independent thinking and behavior would normally be expected. Instead, it appears that they endorse child kidnapping and abuse, endorse taking what is not theirs to take, endorse violating the law when convenient and so forth -- the value system of their abductors.

So should Grace and Jimmy be treated with kid-gloves, like invalids? Maybe. A major fact is that they cannot speak for themselves, at least with reputable persons of integrity, as their father -- the author. When they do speak, one might suppose that they run the same con game that they were forced into for the last twelve years. Alas, that may be all that they do know.

Dec 11, 2006 "You have the moral and legal high ground." So said a person in Puerto Rico involved in legal questions and the media who began studying the Missing Keene Kids story in early September of this year. This person -- to be named later once his report is published -- is now obtaining further analysis by legal talent in Puerto Rico.

For these studies, I transcribed three court cases, described in the chronologies, which you can download: (1) 95-0021.zip (Spanish), the first attempt by Nilda et al to legalize their kidnapping adventure; (2) 95-2426.zip (Spanish), Nilda's divorce and custody effort, using perjury on verifiable facts, and in which the final ruling by the judge reads like a signed confession to corruption; and (3) the U.S. District Court case, 96-0047.zip (English), where it took about a year for a Federal Judge to decide that legal technicalities left me with no remedy in this forum.

These story developments bring to mind a brief email exchange with my daughter Grace in 2003 where she said she was planning to study law and wonder of wonders, she threatened to sue me about this web site. Imagine the headline: "Kidnapped child sues victim parent." Of course, I advised against it, unless she wanted to be on all the TV talk shows and Oprah, too. Think of the irony -- one victim taking another victim to court. And what could be the objection of my victim children to this web site? Would it be better in her eyes if her father forgot about his children and did nothing to seek justice?

Dec 9, 2006 One area that has not received much treatment on Missing Keene Kids is what happens to the victim parent when children are kidnapped and abused. This new blog format may document this subject further. For example, not a day passes when I don't think of my children, how they are, what they are doing, are they happy, and on and on. With over a decade of such days, that is a lot of thoughts.

This blog is an open public letter to my children -- Grace and Jimmy, or does he prefer "Jim" or "James"? Often I want to tell them of things I am doing. I would like to know what Grace and Jimmy are doing; but they are mute, hiding, unwilling or unable to speak, so one can only speculate and play a guessing game.

Events of the day -- say, stories in the news, mix with daily thought about, and longing for, my dearly beloved kids. Recently, Brigitte Gabriel, author of a book on people involved in Islamic radicalism "who hate" was on the news. My instant response was, "Jimmy and Grace might be able to write about what it is like to be persons who hate". My children and those children of Islamic radicals both were taught to hate. Yet I recall that Grace has stated the opposite -- claiming that she was taught to love her father. But in recent years, she has acted like a person who hates and I wonder if Grace is just ignorant or lying -- which I do not believe she would do intentionally.

Please notice that my every thought has to be tentative -- since Grace and Jimmy do not, and maybe cannot, speak for themselves for almost all of the last twelve years. Regardless of my daily thoughts -- up-beat or down-beat -- the background is that Grace and Jimmy are not to blame for any disabilities caused by their suffering at the hands of their kidnappers. There is always hope of enlightenment and healing.

Thanks for visiting. I hope to update this blog so please stay tuned.
