This is very worrisome -- she hasn't been in touch with her family, and they say that it is unusual for her.
Hoping for good news soon.

She might not have been in touch with her family but as of last week she was alive and well and served a summons.

Check Columbia County Judicial Records. She has a lot of records in the county court system, most traffic infractions. ONLINE COURT RECORDS SEARCH (note: You have to click on the boxes for each name to open the records, she's there as Ratliff, Ratliff-Lundy and Lunder-Slunder, as well)

This case (civil lawsuit) however is open and there are charges of extortion in order to gain property of a man she was "romantically involved" with. She is defendant. Summons served to her on July 2. Case No. 122024CA000189CAAXMX

Here's the complaint (note she struck the plaintiff in the head with a frying pan during the events leading up to the court complaint).

Well, that must have been what was alluded to, but not openly said, by people asking her family questions about the disappearance.

It appears the summons was issued, but never served. If you look in other cases that are in the OCRS system, it will usually say "Served to" if the defendant was served. There is also usually an additional form showing the defendant was served and if they signed off on it or refused to. If the summons was issued but never served, it will say "Summons returned" or "Unserved". In this case, the judge issued the summons, but it appears a process server was just appointed on Wednesday to serve the summons. She has yet to receive her summons.

I have been using OCRS for years. Its one of my favorite places to do historical case research.

Let’s hope that her missing status is more avoidance, than actually being in danger. That’s a better alternative.

Thanks - you're correct - somehow I read that as "served" (fireworks until 1 am or later since last Wednesday haven't helped my sleep). OCRS is a good site and a lot easier to find one's way around than some of the judicial record sources.

Oh yes!

I am local and there has not been a great sense of urgency about this. FB seems not to worried about her.

 

[?!?]

Seems she lost a son 'unexpectedly' in 2008 when he was 22:
