UPDATE: Missing 12-Year-Old Girl is Found

Raina Bennett found in the early morning Friday and returned to her mother.

The missing 12-year-old girl, last seen in Lakewood, has been found, news sources reported Friday.

Cleveland police haven’t shared many of the details, but Raina Bennett was reunited with her mother at around 3 a.m. Friday. 

The Cleveland girl’s mother was worried about her after she went missing Dec. 30, following an argument.

According to police, she was last spotted at a Lakewood hotel.

So she was found before your missing article was sent? Isn't this the second time the patch has done this with missing kids?

With a 12 year old kid isn't it better to be safe than sorry?

Ryan, the first post ran at 2:20 a.m yesterday (this is the second). Looks like she was found an hour later. What was the first time?

I hope the police are investigating her facebook page. I was able to find a middle aged man from Rochester posting comments on her pictures about how she looks older than she is.

Colin, thank you for clarifying. The other instance i was thinking of was the 8 year old in october. I am glad the patch is reporting current events, it just seems sometimes the headlines in the morning updates should be updated when sent. The article may have been written prior but the daily email was sent after she was found yet the original headline is in the email. My email time stamps could be incorrect though. Thanks. Ryan

Maybe you would like to take over the patch. If you can't say anything good then shut up. Colin does a great job getting us info on time.
Colin McEwen (Editor) January 7, 2013 at 02:25 am
Your email time is absolutely correct, but that's not necessarily when the the posts are published. The publish time is what you should look at.
Also, nothing was changed in the story of the 8-year-old boy who was missing — but immediately found — in October. No updates there. No changes to the headline either. (If there are changes to a specific post, it will be highlighted in italics at the top) http://lakewood-oh.patch.com/articles/police-search-for-and-find-missing-8-year-old-boy That's the post, right? You can tell that there was nothing changed, just by reading the URL. Hope that answers your questions, Ryan!
Colin McEwen (Editor) January 7, 2013 at 02:25 am
Tony, thanks for the kind words. But I don't mind the questions.
Ryan Salo January 7, 2013 at 03:41 am
Colin,
Thank you for the responses I really appreciate it. The timing now makes sense to me. Keep up the great work. Ryan

Where is Storer...East, West, or South of Lakewood?
Regina Milsaps June 18, 2013 at 04:26 pm
It runs east from West 67th to West 34th between Clark to the North and Denison to the South. ButRead More you could look it up on Google maps for a better idea of just how far it is from West 117th and Madison.
Timothy M Bradford June 19, 2013 at 09:52 am
Regina, I appreciate your enthusiasm regarding my listing! If you would like to talk please feelRead More free to give me a call. Casaderayray, Storer is east of Lakewood, west of W. 25th, south of Ohio City. The heading was "just outside of Lakewood" due to the fact that I have other listings much farther out, like Painesville and Euclid. It is a great home with many, many updates - it's worth looking at! If you would like more information please contact me directly at 216-227-3523.

I won't make it there before 2pm, but if you don't sell your drum set...I am interested!

They are turning it into a Discount Drug Mart - should open this summer.

i think you are mistaking or being goofy...but sullivans is "was" at the corner ofRead More chesterland and madison, not on detroit.
William Bridgeman June 8, 2013 at 04:06 pm
They are supposed to be reopening in early July as Brew 211, as sports bar with a lot of large flatRead More TVs and basic bar food. The big wood booths are leaving. Sullivan's as we knew it is gone.
Maggie Rader June 6, 2013 at 12:45 pm
Again, while I am very grateful for the outcome for my Mom, I also have a lot of compassion for theRead More other residents. The move for my Mom is only temporary, since the South Westerly will come under the same guidelines within a couple of years. This can only be changed by an act of Congress. I have already written letters to the politicians involved, particularly Marcy Kaptur -- Ohio Congressional District 9. Hopefully, all concerned will do the same.
Duane Hoyt June 7, 2013 at 08:25 am
Marcy doesn't care about Lakewood. Dennis Kucinich wouldn't allow this to happen, but thanks toRead More Republican (Kasich) redistricting, Dennis had to run against Marcy, and he lost. Remember this when Kasich runs against local Lakewood man Ed Fitzgerald runs for Governor.
Ron Dodson June 8, 2013 at 07:10 pm
Members of Congress tack on amendments to bills all the time that only benefit a handful of theirRead More constituents. If there was ever a time for a pork barrel move, this would be it. You're right Duane, this would have never gotten this far if Dennis was still next door to the Westerly.

After two weeks of being lost in Cleveland, Mordecai has come home!! He had traveled 3 miles fromRead More where he was lost. A huge thank you to Eve, who lured him out of a huckleberry bush with hot dogs! He looks great and hasn't lost too much weight, and is being showered with bacon and steak. We hope to be able to pay this forward as much as we've been helped, thank you everyone for your time, thoughts and hard work!! https://www.facebook.com/lostinlakewood

I'm so happy he's home now! Thanks to everyone who helped keep an eye on him by sharing this post!Read More :) Patch in action!
