Family seeks help in finding missing Moses Lake teen
Feb. 4—MOSES LAKE — The family of a missing Moses Lake teen is asking for help in finding him.
Treyson Andrew Brooks, 15, was reported missing Jan. 24 in Vancouver, where he had been living in a group home, said his mother Amy Jackson. Brooks is about five feet, six inches tall, weighs about 180 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes.
Jackson said her son was a student at Moses Lake High School. He was receiving treatment through the Wraparound with Intensive Services program. The program is offered through Renew, Grant County's behavioral health providers.
Brooks was referred to foster care in November at a home with parents experienced in caring for children with behavioral health issues, Jackson said. There was some delay in transferring the support services he was receiving. In January he was moved to the group home in Vancouver.
Brooks experienced some behavioral issues at the group home, Jackson said, and eventually ran away.
"He's never run away before," his mom said.
Brooks was seen in Vancouver on Friday night and over the weekend. An alert was issued for him Sunday evening.
He may be trying to return to Moses Lake, where he has lived all his life, his mom said. He may also be in the Portland area.
Anyone with information on Brooks' whereabouts is asked to contact the Vancouver Police Department at 360-693-3111.

NC, SC attorneys general among those urging Meta to crack down on deceptive ‘pump and dump' Facebook ads
RALEIGH, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson is among 42 across the country urging Meta to crack down on deceptive ads. The joint letter claims the social media giant is allowing these so-called 'pump and dump' schemes on Facebook, conning users out of hundreds of millions of dollars. 'Scammers are using fake Facebook ads to trick people into losing millions in scam investments,' said Jackson in a statement. 'It's Meta's job to take these ads down and make sure their platform is as safe as possible for users everywhere. Meta needs to act now.' Consultant behind AI-generated robocalls mimicking Biden goes on trial in New Hampshire Jackson's office says these ads frequently use images of well-known financial figures like Warren Buffet, Cathie Wood and Elon Musk to make users think they're legitimate. They'll advertise stocks with outrageous returns, free consultations, or offer to give investment advice. The AGs claim that clicking on the ads directs users to join a WhatsApp group, where the scammers allegedly urge victims to buy penny stocks to rapidly inflate the share prices. After 'pumping up' the price of the stock, the scammers will 'dump' their shares, causing the prices to fall and leaving victims unable to get their money back. South Carolina AG Alan Wilson is among the co-signers. The letter cites several examples of victims, including a 65-year-old woman who lost her 401(k) to this scheme after clicking on a Facebook ad for what seemed to be a reputable investment management company. And three victims in South Florida spoke to a news outlet reporting direct losses of more than $85,000 and pointing to two-dozen other victims who lost millions more. The attorneys general are asking Meta to either strengthen its advertisement review practices to prevent these ads from being shown to Facebook users or remove all investment ads from the platform.

Testimony in Meagan Jackson murder trial reveals victim killed by .22 caliber bullet
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Three law enforcement officers testified Wednesday morning in Horry County Circuit Court in the trial of a woman accused of killing her four children's father in 2020. Meagan Jackson was having an affair with Horry County deputy Coroner Christopher Dontell when she allegedly killed Gregory Rice, whose body was found in the Little Pee Dee River on Nov. 8, 2020. Dontell is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in early December to accessory and conspiracy charges and agreeing to testify against Jackson. Jackson, who could be seen crying during witness testimony on Tuesday, is charged with murder and conspiracy. Rice was last seen on Oct. 2, 2020, and it was Jackson who reported him missing three days later. Mark Bonner, who is now retired from the Horry County Police Department, was supervising investigations in the criminal investigations division at the time of Rice's death. He testified that Rice was killed by a .22 caliber bullet and that he became aware that the relationship between Jackson and Rice had become estranged. Reggie Hotaling, a senior investigator with the Marion County Sheriff's Office at the time, said he responded to the Pitts Landing area near the Horry County line about a body in November 2020 and recovered evidence from the body that included a lighter, cigarettes, cinder blocks, tarp straps, a ball cap, sheets, a tarp and zip ties. After an autopsy was completed, Hotaling testified he was given black sneakers, jeans, a sweatshirt and clothing, photos and bullets, all evidence that was later turned over to Horry County authorities after it was determined that they had jurisdiction in the case. Horry County police Sgt. Adam Skellett, who worked in the department's investigations unit, testified about surveillance video obtained from the River's Edge community. Jackson's car is shown leaving River's Edge at about 6:16 p.m. on Oct. 2, followed by Dontell's gray Ford Explorer at 6:20 p.m. He also testified about an interview with Erica Dontell, Chris Dontell's wife, who said she was receiving anonymous messages believed to be from Gregory Rice, saying that Chris Dontell had been sleeping with Jackson. Testimony in the case began on Tuesday as jurors heard from Savannah Rice — Jackson's and Gregory Rice's daughter, who said her parents fought constantly and were not compatible. Savannah Rice also testified about her relationship with her parents, saying that her dad was a flawed man but someone who cared about his kids and the people around him. She also testified that her parents broke up on two different occasions and that she did not hear them say 'I love you' to each other. She also testified that she met Dontell because of her mother's work and spent a lot of time with the family. She testified that she found out about her mother's affair with Dontell by hearing them having sex in another room. * * * Dennis Bright is the Digital Executive Producer at News13.
