Concert aims to locate missing man By Deborah Gates Staff Writer PRINCESS ANNE -- James Clark Creighton turned 49 in September -- if he is still alive. Family members are doubtful that he is, yet optimistic that tonight's Squeaky Wheel Tour concert in Queenstown will accrue new leads to the whereabouts of the Somerset County resident whose inexplicable disappearance on Christmas Eve in 2000 is cataloged by Maryland State Police in a cold case file. ADVERTISEMENT MSP officials and a representative from Gov. Martin O'Malley's office have been invited to attend a pre-concert news conference to update concert-goers on the status of unsolved cases like Creighton's and legislation tied to solving them, said Darlene Huntsman, a member of the Maryland Task Force for the Missing and Unidentified Adults and Children, a host. The 7 p.m. event featuring the R&B and folk-style band, Clementine, is at the Hunters Oak Golf Course on Amberly Lane, one of two concerts staged in Maryland this year to raise awareness about missing adults and children. The Squeaky Wheel concert is a first for Janet Sydnor, who hopes it arouses at least one witness to come forward about her brother, Creighton. The non-profit annual tour was founded by Jannel Rap, a Clementine member whose sister, singer-songwriter Gina Bos, disappeared after an Oct. 17, 2000, performance at a Nebraska pub, according to facts about the case. Other performers also headline tour concerts across the United States and abroad, this year spanning 22 engagements between Oct. 17 and Nov. 4. "We'd like people to know how difficult it is to get attention," Huntsman said in a Monday interview. "These cases are very different than those on television." According to the Squeaky Wheel Web site, events raise or renew momentum about missing children and adults who are not high profile. MSP Sgt. Charles Salvas at the Princess Anne Barrack said detectives are "actively investigating" the Creighton case, which is a cold case in the agency's missing person's division. "It is not forgotten about, not in a drawer somewhere, not overlooked," Salvas said Monday. "We've sent the case to a cold case unit and we always return to it." On a Charleyproject Web site about missing persons, Creighton is No. 308, one of two people listed as vanishing Christmas Eve in 2000. Witnesses said they saw the brown-haired, 6 foot, 2 inches Caucasian walking near Bowland Hill Circle about a mile west of Princess Anne and appeared to be disoriented, according to the Charleyproject. Sydnor doubts her brother will be found alive. He also suffered from AIDS and needed medications necessary for his survival, she said. "I think he's dead, and the police themselves feel circumstances are suspicious," she said. Huntsman of Millersville has probed missing persons cases since her sister, then 23-year-old Bernadette Stevenson Caruso of Dundalk, disappeared in September 1986. "We've worked 20 years to keep my sister's case alive because the squeakiest wheel gets the most attention," she said. WHAT. Squeaky Wheel Tour concert featuring Clementine WHERE. Hunters Oak Golf Course, 500 Amberly Lane, Queenstown WHEN. 7 to 9 p.m. tonight. A press briefing begins at 6 p.m . COSTFree |
