Consider this the internet version of the amber alert or whatever it is called.

Somebody I correspond with on another forum has a friend with a missing daughter. Please take the time to read the following and just keep an eye out or drop a prayer for me if you don't mind.

Thanks
Chris

"Her name is Erica and she is probably using the last name of Johnson, Starkel, or Johnson-Starkel or possibly either Finch or Finley. She is 16 years old, 6' tall, 180-190 pounds, slightly-longer-than-shoulder-length medium brown hair normally worn in a pony tail or knot on the back of her head, but loose the last time she was seen. She has a small black tattoo on her lower right calf that looks like some Gaelic knot design or somesuch. She is also what her mother describes as "hippy", as in hips, not the sixties definition. The last absolute confirmed sighting was in Marysville, WA at ~1:00 am this morning, 11-13, and she was wearing white sneakers, blue jeans, and a red & brown/tan sweater w/buttons on the sleeve. There was also a fairly definite sighting at the Bellingham mall at approximately 2:00 pm today, 11-13. She traveled from Ronan, MT to Marysville, WA with 2 friends, another rather tall girl about her age, size, & build, Rebecca ("Becka"), who is also being sought as a run-away, and a pimply faced young man, 20 or 21, average build, about... 5' 5"? who goes by the name "Keebler", real name Mike Marquart? or Marquet? or similiar. The vehicle is a late model Mazda Navaho, 4 door SUV, silver in color, and bearing Montana license 15-C91. She was alone when sighted at the Bellingham mall and it is not known if she is once again in the company of these 2 individuals. If anyone has any information, please contact any Law Enforcement, especially Marysville, WA city police or Lake County, MT Sheriffs dept. Bonus points can be scored by bringing me "Keebler".
Thanks,

This picture was taken in April of this year, I'll try to update it or add others if I find better ones."

 

I'm praying for her & her friend that both girls are found safe & returned home soon.
Post this at as many sites as you can - hey, you never know who may read it & see her pic.
God Bless you for caring enough to post this & her family & these girls, that they be happily reunited very soon.

 

Thanks for taking seriously. Somebody on another forum accussed me of starting a hoax. I really don't think the people that started this did it as a hoax.

Anyway every little bit helps.

 

wow.. a post by cowlady that wasn't in italics! LOL

 

When it comes to missing children or anything to do with kids I take it seriously - I find it hard not to. I worked at our Children's Hospital for 8 years & even though I wasn't in the ER I still saw many of the kids that came thru there & heard all the horror stories from the staff. I'll never forget the things I saw.
As for no italics or sig - on a subject THIS serious I get serious too. I guess it's because of my experiences at Children's.
I know many "missing children" emails are hoaxes - 1 way to tell is there are no specifics as to date they went missing or last location spotted but this post was VERY explicit & therefore I treat it as a bona fide alert. I wish ALL states had an "Amber Alert" & that there was someway to organize the same on the net - think of the MILLIONS of people it would reach!
I am checking into a site whose mission is to protect kids while online - www.cyberangels.com. It was started by Curtis Sliwa - he started the Guardian Angels in NYC - they protect citizens & patrol subways & streets & help collar the bad guys. They are not armed as far as I know - they are trained in self defense & simply aprehend the people who would prey on the helpless till the police arrive. Cyber Angels mission is to "catch" the low life's who prey on kids while online & in chat rooms. If you'd like to know more, check their site out. I found out about it from a Reader's Digest article - you could never accuse RD of being "way out there" so I believe in the site & it's goals.
Anyhow, I am praying for these girls & ALL missing kids & adults too. We just had a nurse's body discovered last week & she'd been missing for months - it is a definite murder case. Even adults need help.
God Bless - hope these girls are found safe & sound soon.
