There were a couple of things in the message which got overlooked: While this is a moving story, we don't know both sides of it, and have no way of knowing all the implications. Above all, there is the issue of the right of the person in question to stay "lost" if that is her choice, and to her privacy (and perhaps safety; we just have no way of knowing). It seems like the best that we can do, as people reading this on the net, is to deliver the message should we see her. Anything else is up to her. A real extension might be an anonymous telephone call that simply indicates that she has been seen and is alive and well. Not where. Not who you are, or how *you* may be located. You must watch out for yourself, as well. It's a heart-rending story, and seems honest and genuine. But we need to be careful that this communication medium doesn't unwittingly eclipse the privacy or safety of anyone. Greg
