That's what the poster on Facebook said and he lives in the same television/news market as the author. He said he lived a county over from her-which means that someone would have definitely contacted the media and the general public about a missing woman with mental illness and who is mentally challenged.

I think she's full of crap and making up a story to support her bs claim of being pro-life. She's trying to impress a bunch of anonymous idiots who shouldn't matter. If that had been my child her picture would have been posted everywhere the moment she was noticed missing. My pleas would have been on every tv set, my begging in every newspaper article, and my cries heard over every radio station. Concerned citizens in multiple counties would have joined forces to search for her. From what I can find, none of this ever happened.

Thank you! OriginalGeek Feb 2012 #16
