The Michael Jackson statue is missing from his childhood home. But police say the culprit wasn't a smooth criminal.

Gary police said the monument was removed from the site in October during Janet Jackson's visit to the family home in Gary.



"I guess it was taken down to do a video shoot. They are planning to do some landscaping in the spring. Once they are done, they'll bring it back," Lt. Thomas Pawlak said Friday night.

He said the Gary deputy chief reached out to a family representative personally to get the story firsthand.

"So the family has the monument. It's safe, not stolen," he added.
The iconic statue has stood outside his childhood home since being unveiled in June 2010.

This is SO SAD...for the people of Gary, Indiana, who, in the past, benefited from this site as a tourist attraction for their low income community. :cry:

LOOOOL


Nice report, thanks!!

Thanks for posting - at least it hasn't been stolen and it will be put back soon!
I have to say Janet looks lovely in these pictures! I wonder what her beauty secret is!

I hope you are right; but I, personally, don't think it was taken down for a video shoot. Just saying...:rolleyes:

I was thinking (after reading the report again) that it's quite odd as to why you would remove it to film a video...especially if it's a family member..
Sorry, I had a total '2+2=5' moment there!
Here's hoping that they removed it in order for it to be refurbished or something!

Both Janet and Randy have a history of adding 2+2 and getting 5. Just saying... :scratch:

Maybe to take the picture of Ecas off it ?

Or maybe maureen has put it on ebay.anything involving those two is most likely dodgy.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Statue Is Missing from His hildhood Gary home. So where is it?

Maybe she had it taken down because they were filming exterior shots of her childhood home for a video or documentary. If it's about her childhood, then obviously they wouldn't want the statue there.
They may not be able to put it back until they finish re-shoots or til they get into Spring-let's not forget that Indiana is usually covered in snow-even in March.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Statue Is Missing from His hildhood Gary home. So where is it?

Well it would make sense to remove it if the filming was intended to be a period scene.. it didn't have a big plaque in the 60s
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Statue Is Missing from His hildhood Gary home. So where is it?

I don't know why fans are always under the assumption that Janet has malicious intentions ever. It baffles me to no end. They loved each other dearly and clearly y'all are on one if you think she'd do any harm to Michael's legacy or destroy something that's just a material object that can be easily replaced by the Jackson family as a whole. A plaque doesn't matter,what matters is the love and memories that Michael gave to everyone in his short life on Earth.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Statue Is Missing from His hildhood Gary home. So where is it?

Maybe to take the picture of E'Cas off it 😂

LOL! I thought the same thing! That would be nice, but I doubt the image can be removed, as it's all cast in stone.

I'm sure there's nothing sinister going on.....just video filming, as was stated.

Why do you think it was removed? Please elaborate...

Maybe the way she has acted since mj was killled. Most mj fans had no issue with her pre 09. I certainly didnt. Saw her many times in concert bought her albums etc etc. But the way she has acted post 09 changed that for many..if you arent aware of what went on theres alot of info out there or if someone else cares to add.

And randy has been at it long before 09. Him and janet are as thick as theives and have a long history together when it comes to the way they have treated mj and his kids over many years. While comments about the plaque from me are more said in jest anytime you see those two together it makes you wonder what they are planning next.

You think they have even noticed yet. Sums up their relationship with mj ?
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Statue Is Missing from His hildhood Gary home. So where is it?

I am glad all is well and it is not missing do we know what video was begin shoot for sure? Is it something we will see in the future? if it is about the Jacksons or Janet? So Janet and Randy came to Gary in Oct i thought their came to Gary after her concert in Louisville Dec 1. sense their was that close to Gary Ind.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's Statue Is Missing from His hildhood Gary home. So where is it?

Well, maybe Janet wants to add something to the monument, since it is Michael's 60th birthday this year ...
