Family members who go missing.....

hi caramello how have you been.i have been following this story the last few days and it would be a parents worst nightmare.not having any closure would be the worst thing ,as you would never know what has happened to your loved one.i hope that things work out,but it does not look promising.i wish them luck.cheers sue

This must be one of the most distressing and heartbreaking things to happen - and especially when it happens in another part of the world. You wouldn't know whether to dash over there - or wait a bit longer in case the person tried to contact you. I often think of the family of Peter Falconio, who was from England and whose body has never been found after he and his girlfriend were ambushed in the Australian outback. He's presumed murdered - but without being able to lay him to rest in his home town, his family must exist from day to day in indescribable grief.

Oh I know what you mean, it must be horrendous, you would be thinking about it all the time, and being so far away you would feel helpless thinking of all the possibilities, I think it would drive you crazy...i just hope they find her ok...

It is truly a terrible thing. My heart felt condolences go out to all who have lost children. I haven't heard of the girl you are speaking of here however it happens and I don't know why. There have been many children abducted right from under the noses of their parents and never to be found again or worse! There are times when I think about these things. I have a young son myself. I don't even want to imagine the feeling of him going lost.
