Aspiring Actress Satara Stratton Missing Since October; Police Want To Question Sex Offender Paul Constantinescu

When Satara Stratton moved to Los Angeles from Chattanooga, Tenn., last June she was looking for fame.

Now police are looking for her because she has been reportedly missing since October 25.

Stratton -- who used the stage name "Satara Silver" -- came to Los Angeles to pursue acting, but other than a few small roles in indie films and a job at a Disney Store on Santa Monica Boulevard, her showbiz career had yet to take flight.

Now her mother, Sharon Stratton, a university professor, fears her daughter is under the influence of a registered sex offender and addicted to drugs, according to ABC News.

Sharon reported her daughter's disappearance, according to Culver City Patch . Before she vanished, her mother said that she often called or texted daily and, in fact, had been planning a trip home around the time of her disappearance.

The Los Angeles Police Department did not officially begin investigating Satara's whereabouts until February, but are currently looking for her, even as she is listed as "Voluntarily Missing."

Investigators would also like to question Paul Constantinescu, 46, who is registered as a sex offender on California’s Megan’s Law website for attempted lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under 14 and attempted forced oral copulation with a minor under 14, the Daily Mail reported.

Sharon Stratton believes that Constantinescu, who reportedly runs a rubber stamp company, has kept her daughter from contacting her, either through psychological abuse or by drugging her.

“She sounded scared, she was afraid for what they might do,” Sharon told ABCNews about her last conversation with her daughter. “But she didn’t want to turn on these people.”

Adding to her worries is the fact that her daughter has an undisclosed medical condition.

LAPD Detective Carmine Sasso says there have been some leads suggesting the 5-foot, 3-inch 90-pound actress has been frequenting the 6500 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, near Highland Avenue in the heart of Hollywood.

"She's been spotted occasionally, but we always get the information kind of late," Sasso told LA Weekly. However, even if she is found, he says there is only so much the police can do since Stratton is an adult and can technically live as she pleases.

"[Her mom] suspects that she has gotten involved in something bad and wants to get her some help," Sasso said, adding that If she does finally turn up, "all we can do is try to get something in place to help her."

Stratton came to Los Angeles to pursue acting, but, according to her IMDB profile, her roles have been small roles in indie dramas such as "Cult Movie," a 2011 drama whose most famous actor is Lloyd Kaufman, best known as the creator of Troma Films.

Sasso said that while investigators would like to speak with Constantinescu, he is not accused of any wrongdoing.

"[Stratton has] been seen with him, and if he pops up, maybe he can say, 'Oh, she's over there.' We're doing all we can to generate feedback,'' he told Culver City Patch. "The mother is very concerned because [Stratton] is looking worse and worse in the photos we have.''

Anyone with information should contact the Culver City Police Department at [phone], or Detective Sasso at [phone].

A missing person report was filed on on Sept. 26, 2011. In February 2012, authorities charged Armstrong's boyfriend, Travis Funke, with voluntary manslaughter in her death.

Funke allegedly said he placed a plastic bag on Armstrong's head, wrapped her in a tarp and put her in a trash tote. The garbage container was supposedly picked up later that same day. Investigators spent six days sifting through 6,000 tons of trash at the local landfill but were unable to locate Armstrong's remains.

• William "Billy" Disilvestro

  Billy Disilvestro, 28, has been missing since Feb. 7, 2011. On that day, his grandmother dropped him off at a friend's house in Hamilton, Ohio. At about 2:30 a.m., DiSilvestro placed two calls -- one to his mother and one to his grandmother. Both calls went unanswered. What happened to DiSilvestro after that remains a mystery.

Authorities have conducted several searches of the area, but have yet to find any sign of the missing man. DiSilvestro is described as a white male, 6-foot-2-inches tall, 180 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing jeans and a gray winter coat with fur around the hood.

• Susan Powell

  Susan Powell was reported missing by her family on Dec. 7, 2009, when she failed to show up for her job as a stockbroker at Wells Fargo Financial. Her husband, Josh Powell, told police he had been camping with their two children, then ages 2 and 4, and had last seen his wife around midnight. Suspicious of his story, investigators named Powell a "person of interest" in his wife's disappearance. Not long after, Powell and his two children moved back to his hometown of Puyallup, Wash. On Feb. 5, 2012, police say Josh Powell attacked his two boys, Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5, with a hatchet and then set his home on fire, killing the three of them in a gas-fueled explosion. Since that time, a mountain of evidence has emerged that supports law enforcement's decision to name Josh Powell the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance. Nevertheless, her whereabouts remain a mystery.

Satara Silver is back!!!! She confirmed me as a friend yesterday and is now posting up a storm! Not writing, just posting videos and photos, and changing her profile picture. The man she was supposedly with is not even on her friends list any longer, so maybe this story should be continued. She confirmed me yesterday, so this is what is going on: Either the police are doing it, or some pal of hers or maybe even that crazy man she was with. All I know is she is my facebook friend and confirmed yesterday! What is the deal there? Can someone let us know? Is she still alive? What happened that she is posting again.

I'm wondering why the mother hasn't contacted a PI to stake out the molester's home, just to see if in fact her daughter is with the pedophile, and the PI could follow her and let her know the family wants to help her? I mean his address is listed online, it has to be, if she's not living with Mr Megan's Law and she's not been arrested recently then I would be concerned the pervert might have harmed her. It's not out the realm that he abducted her, got her addicted and put her out on the streets, as you can see the police won't help you in LA unless you say something to them and many human trafficked victims won't turn their abuser in because of threats of violence against the trafficked woman's family. For all we know she had a child and they've taken it and won't let her see the child unless she works. LA is the worst possible city to be in if you are in trouble like that. They just don't care.

Although I understand why, the LAPD aren't trying at all to help. Their response to the mother is basically, "Yeah, we'll get right on that after we solve all these murders, robberies, and thefts." She's above 18 and voluntarily (sort of) missing. There's not much the LAPD can legally do, but I wish her family well in helping her out of this life.

The case of newscaster Jodi Huisentruit of Iowa haunts me.

At about 4:00 AM on June 27, 1995, KIMT producer Amy Kuns noted that Huisentruit had failed to report to work as scheduled, so she called Huisentruit's apartment. Huisentruit answered the telephone, explained that she had overslept, and said she was preparing to leave for the station. By 6:00 AM, however, she had still not arrived, and Kuns filled-in for her on the morning show "Daybreak." At about 7:00 AM, KIMT staff called the Mason City police.

When police arrived at Huisentruit's apartment they found her red Mazda Miata in the parking lot, as well as evidence suggesting there had been a struggle near that car. Among other evidence, Huisentruit's personal items, including her keys, were found strewn about the area and police reported recovering an unidentified palm print from her car. - Wikipedia.

In 2001 she was legally declared dead.

Jodi was a co-worker of meterologist Don Harmon, who after the disappearance, landed a job in Kansas City. Hearsay had it that Don, while not officially a suspect, nevertheless was being questioned on the cold case last year. A couple of months ago, Don committed suicide. I'm not saying Don was or wasn't involved, - but let's not forget Jodi. Gone without a trace at 27.

Lots of girls who come out to LA SAY they want to be actresses or singers or models or whatever. But what they want to do even more is hang out and party with actors, singers, models, or other arty types...the more famous the better. Such girls are especially vulnerable to the city's seedier offerings.

Don't hate on her just because she's pretty. Something nasty might have happened or be happening to her. Have a heart, people.

Thank you. I could not find a place to post to David Moye. Something bad did happen. A working actress since age 3 moves to LA at 18 (now 24) working for indie films, her favorite fell sick. After Disney fired her while in the hospital, she lost her apartment, and was mugged. Taken in by a man who acted as a friend, began causing her harm. Once away, a stalker enters her life...a year and a half of pure hell, ending in a 4 1/2 month abduction to include torture, ripped out hair, scars, burns, bruising, held in a hole, and drugged for control. She was not alone. Now safe from his physical grasps, the mental hold is strong. There is so more to this, but the police will fill in the rest. It is simply appalling people automatically print in the news she was just another addict, or aspiring actress because her stage roles do not appear on IMDB., or she love indie. Heaven forbid their family member goes missing; guess they will get treated like a voluntarily missing and left in the hole! Her mom did not do this, found the truth, and police helped save her by questioning man, and getting him to release her to a hospital....he is now in jail.
