Just thinking of Kara tonight.....where are you sweetheart? So many people care about you and want you to return home quickly and safely <3
 
Sad to see no movement in this case.
 
May Kara be reunited with her family in 2013!
Breaks my heart to see no updates/news in her case.
 
It seemls like Kara's case was generating more interest when the dominant narrative surrounding it was "lingerie model goes missing." Her family & friends understandably came out to speak out that Kara is much more than a lingere model - she is a daughter, friend, sweet girl, etc. I understand why they thought painting her as a lingerie model would hurt her case & public interest and sought to show us the real Kara.

However, I think this case got more attention when people were focused on her as the sexy, naive girl who did lingerie photo shoots because she wanted to be a model. Sex sells and it seemed to generate some interest in the case.

Now that her family & friends have pushed that the media & public think of her as a missing young woman rather than a missing lingerie model, I think interest has been lost in her case. "Lingerie Model Missing" is much more of a headline than "19 year old girl missing" and would draw more eyes onto the case & have more people looking for Kara. When I listened to the radio show, I was so glad they were painting Kara as more than a lingerie model.

However, this tactic almost seems to have backfired in terms of getting attention for her case. I am very surprised about that. It seemed like the right thing to do. I am surprised by the drop off in news & updates about Kara since the "lingerie model" business has been dropped.

Yes, it is interesting how obfuscation of the facts in this case by the family has caused the case to go cold.
 
New update on http://www.facebook.com/HelpUsFindKaraNichols?fref=ts fb page. Sadly there is no news to report. I feel there is a lack of media attention purely because there is nothing "new" to report...

KARA NICHOLS UPDATES:
We met today with investigators and sadly there is still not much information to go on, we do however know one thing, someone out there knows what happen to our daughter and we can only continue to ask them to do the right thing and call police.

Michelle Bart and her team from the National Women&#8217;s Coalition Against Violence & Exploitation will leave this weekend for Colorado; they will be attending a national human trafficking summit on Monday and will be representing our family in interviews with local media in the Denver area. Human Trafficking is a possibility into the disappearance of Kara, although not absolute, it&#8217;s probable and we need to explore every avenue that will lead us to Kara.

A new web address (that leads to this page) is www.karanichols.org &#8211; please share with everyone you know, especially those in Denver and Colorado Springs&#8217; areas.

Many of you continue to post tips and suggestions on the site; we thank everyone for your support! Please, we cannot reiterate enough, send all your suggestions and tips to police at findkaranichols@gmail.com or phone the
Sheriff&#8217;s office at (719) 390-5555.

As for the suggestions on fundraising and ground search efforts, we thank you for the advice but those items are not a need right now and any efforts in these areas will be organized and directed by the El Paso County Sheriff&#8217;s Office and/or NWCAVE. Please we cannot express it enough, if you see or hear of anyone doing fundraisers, see other fliers than those on this site or anyone issuing tip lines that do not go to detective Porter, please let us know.

Thank you for your support and prayers and we hope to have some new information to share soon.

Paul and Julia Nichols

Was the ping of where her cell was last used ever released or if it was a call or a text and to whom?

Article in today's paper re: a model's photo shoot which reminded me of this case:

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/model-photo-shoot-turned-borderline-pornographic

No news on Kara?

That is a very interesting article, and it gives me chills thinking about the real intentions of the so called photoraphers.

Even though "Ann" had prior experience with photoshoots and alarm bells were going off from the moment she made the initial contact (went to voicemail) with the photographers and then following the meeting,...she still with all her experience hesitated and justified some of their unusual behavior up to the point she thought enough is enough, this isn't right.
So what chance would a young girl with no experience of such situations have..lord knows the outcome. It's sickening, and creeps like the ones in article seem to be in abundant supply ready to expliot these young girls and their dreams...

I'm thankful that the young lady in the article was able to use her own experience and intuition to realise that she wasn't in a "safe" situation, and is now sharing her story to warn others of the dangers of bogus photographers and such.
 
Still here for Kara... Hoping and praying she's found safe!!
 
I dont think her family fooled anyone. We saw pictures, she was a lingerie model. I agree with above poster I think right now the case is just going cold at least as far as news concerning case.
 
Per the Find Kara FB page: They said that they invited the all Denver media to come on Monday and meet with Kara's parents and no media chose to sit with them and talk.

That is so sad if it is true. I know her parents do not want her known as the lingerie model but, for sake of publicity, maybe they should run with that angle. Media wants a juicy story and sadly regular Kara is just like all the other missing people.

The parents have shown no interest in being honest. Don't blame the media for wanting a juicy story. Maybe they just want a true story, and not the fantasy that the parents want to spin.
 
I wish her parents would contact Marc Klaas or someone like him. He would advise them, especially about how important it is to be open in order to have the best chance to find Kara, IMO.

I think the parents are being honest. They are telling of the Kara they know. I do not think they knew the Kara that went missing.
 
Despite the invitation to all local Denver media to meet with the Nichols this past Monday, sadly no reporters chose to sit down with Kara&#8217;s parents or any of the hundreds of experts from around the state at the Colorado Human Trafficking Summit.

I find it surprising that no local media showed up to cover a convention with hundreds of experts. Not one newspaper? Not one reporter?
 
A MESSAGE TO OUR DAUGHTER AND THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO HER

Dear Kara,

If you're out there somewhere, we want you to know that we love you and miss you very much. It&#8217;s so awful having you missing and not knowing if you&#8217;re suffering or even alive. No matter where you are or what has happened to you, we will never stop looking for you and praying that you come back to us safely. Our deepest wish is to find out if you're okay.

Whatever has happened, there is a way out and a way forward. You can rebuild your life and start anew. You are a beautiful person with so much talent and potential. The person you are, whom your family knows and loves, is so valuable and deserves the best for her life's journey.

The grief we all feel is immeasurable, and the hope and prayers for your safety are all we think about. Please, even if you can&#8217;t contact us, if someone you know can tell us you&#8217;re all right, we would be so grateful.

Love, Mom and Dad

Beautiful message that really touched me from Kara's parents.
These loving words are followed by a lovely family picture of Kara and her parents together, smiling and happy.

I pray that there is some news for Kara and her heartbroken family very soon, i really do. I can't imagine how they must feel.
