Please Help Find Runaway (Update: FOUND!)

Update (1/8/24): Found in Crystal Springs.  Family took her home. 

A mother is asking for help in finding her runaway teen.  17 year-old Kamryn Lewis walked out of UMMC yesterday.  Her mother posted on Facebook:



Kamryn Lewis she ran away from Batson phone is off she had on a white sweatshirt and sweat pants(KF: Possibly grey)

she is now listed on ncic as a run away according to ummc so i don’t know much at this point.

The missing teen's aunt posted more information on social media:

My niece is missing! She was last seen leaving UMMC ER! Her name is Kamryn Grace Lewis. She’s roughly 5’ tall and weighs 98-100 pounds. She has distinctive tattoos as you can see in the third picture. Any information or sightings can be reported to Detective Beth Victoriano at 6017200432 or any local law enforcement.


Rankin County deputies responded to a call yesterday after the teen "threatened to harm" herself.  Lewis was transported to UMMC where she later escaped.   

WLBT reported she was seen at Pops late last night.

Seen at Pops last night, huh? This isn't going to end well.

This was the girlfriend of the dude who got killed in Raymond several weeks back.

THANK YOU, for using decent English!!!! Most people posting here, would have said "...of the dude THAT got killed...".

Oh! By the way, what is "Pops"?

2:21, do you approve using "got" versus "was"? Pops is a bar on S. Gallatin, which is Jackson, which is in Hinds County. Does that help you to understand the situation that she is in?

Pop's is a bar in South Jackson on S. Gallatin near the JPD pistol range. It just might be the establishment that Charlie Daniels sings about in "Uneasy Rider".

The Grammar Nazi must not be from round here.

A friend told me that the one time he was in Pop's "twenty five years ago, for about 15 minutes and a beer, it was a rundown flea bag crawling with prostitutes trying to drag men to the attached motel for trix". That it has survived longer than Danny's or Metro Center may be a business lesson for South Jackson.

Charlie Daniels was referencing the old Hilltop Lounge I believe.

My gut feeling is the girl is OK.

(She's pissed about something, but will probably be found alive and well soon). At least I hope she's safe.

Regarding Charlie Daniels' "Uneasy Rider", I always envisioned that early 80's dive bar ... Billy Neal's Spud & Suds. (about 50 yards north of the old Cherokee at North State Street and Sheppard Road).

Yeah, way later than the song, but it met the criteria.

Back in the day, the east end of McDowell was lined with “gentlemen’s clubs”. Just around the corner on Gallatin was Pop’s, which is the only one still around. They were a great place to get your ass kicked if you so wished, kind of like Bob’s Country Bunker in the Blues Brothers (where they had both kinds of music, country and western).

I hope I worded this correctly so the grammar police won’t come after me…

There’s just no reason to be jack asses. Seriously.

12:58 here.

I’m something of a grammar hammer in my own right, and the got/was query is a fair one. “Was” sounds a tad more passive, and I should have used “murdered” instead of “killed.”

But yes: with people it’s who/whom, not that or which.

Louis LeFleur said...

Ellwood, before the "gentlemen's clubs they were C&W bars like Boots' Hat & Cane. Don't remember the names of the others. Was Pop's one of the original C&W clubs or did it come later?

Anonymous said...

@Louis LeFleur, Embers was the other one located at the corner of Parcel Dr and E. McDowell. They were C&W but were known for their barbecue and the used car lot on the property too. They were well known and had a long time presence there until the late 90’s. Today it’s a vacant lot with a pile of garbage and the burned remnants of the original building, it never was cleaned up. Among the many eyesores in Jackson.

Vapors was the other club on McDowell next to Embers I think? Pops around the corner on Gallatin. Ran a lot of ambulance calls over there.

Mary's Palace used to be down the street from Boot's Hat and Cane. Had a friend that knew the house band back in the early 80s. Had a beer or two there and a few times at Pops. Thankfully that phase of my life didn't last too long.

Thanks for the update, Kingfish. Glad she's with family now.

"Family took her home"

The girl is 17 years old. Unless she is mentally unstable, she has a right to and is responsible for her own decisions. She will be an adult by the time this thread dies. You people act as if she's 12 and in need of hugs.

If she were black, weighing 226 pounds, her story would not even appear on this blog.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
