HI SewingDeb,
I'm still waiting on the age progression and I promise I will Put It up on all of her sites I wondering how much longer It's gonna take I guess It takes a long time?
Thank you for the prayers.

So you now know that your mom was alive in 1995 and that she was driving a green truck then...that is great news. Gives you hope to keep going.
Can law enforcement check and see if she is working by using her social security number? If she is holding down a job she would be paying taxes and that could be traced by her social security number. I'm sure law enforcement would have to do the tracing but I can't think of any reason why they couldn't do that. It's worth asking about anyway.
I hope you find your mom soon...what a reunion you two will have.

Bobbisangel,
Yes I am thrilled but I knew all along with everything In my heart and gut she was alive and out there somewhere. and the wayne county sheriff's are on the case but I'm still trying to get the age progression so I can put up flyer's everywhere within a 100 mile radius In each directions and were also waiting on the le to get the media Involed.
So thank you so much for sharing In my joy I just wished this was the way on everybody's case even though this has been such a long road and It get's pretty hard when I'm the only family doing this and of course my daughter and last but far from least site's like these and good people like you give me Ideas and give me the strenght to go on and without the lord I would have not made It so I give him alot of praise for carrying me this far.
Have a wonderful day and looking forward to talking to you again soon.
Debbie Lynn.

Do you think that is what your mom would look like now Debbie?

HI Bobbisangel,
Truthfully that guy who did It done a much better job and It's very good art but there working on some modifcations like forehead Is to big and the chin no way and take at least 5 years off her then he will probally have her nailed.
I'm gonna get ahold of kelly or who ever put's these up and ask them to put her last pic beside that one so I can really tell and so can you and everybody out there so you guy's could get a good Idea who knows one of you might have seen her.
Thanks for all your support.
Deb.

HI Sewingdeb,
I really don't know I know by pure luck I got that record cause the woman at the state of michigan said I wasn't suppose to get that record cause I sent for them with a copy of the police report and a missing flyer and a copy of my birth certificate and they said no one can get other people records?
So I guess I was luckt to get that and I'm gonna put It up on my site yahoo360 or Is that not a good Idea?
Truly thanks for all you help all of you beautiful people.

You were lucky, I would say. The police can check licenses in all 50 states, I would think. Maybe you should ask them to do that.

I'm not sure about putting it on your site. I don't see any problem with it myself, but maybe the woman at the state of Michegan could get in trouble with her boss, if it is ever found out?

HI Sewing,
I don't think I will add that to my website cause just Incase that nice woman was doing me a favor I don't want to get her Into trouble.
About the age progression I know It needs work to look like her.
Her sister Is 74 and doesn't look that old but there working on making the changes and I hate being a pain but I would rather just keep the last picture's of her on a flyer than the picture not look like her.
This guy Is pretty good It just needs a few things I would tell them to leave It If I believed someone would reconize her by that age progression but I know from her sister and brother's and what my mom looked like she would not look like that but I got to hand It to this guy I know he Is doing a good job and thats the first Impression on her he's done I'm confindent that the next one he does will look like her today. I just want to find my mom and I will never give up until I do she has alway's been threr for me and I'm surely not gonna give up on her no matter what, wow I'm sorry got way off track there we were talking about the records. Yes they are working on alot of things and as soon as I know anything I will post It all of you have been going thru this with me and you all deserve to know the outcome as well so thank all of you so much and God bless all of you.

Hi Debbie, I don't know much about the way they do the age progression but I'm thinking one of your mom's outstanding features are her deep dimples. Is there a way those can be shown in the age progression picture?

I agree I don't think that's how your mom would look now.

Your mom is so beautiful. I think she would age well.

People really notice dimples like your mom has so I hope they are shown.

I hope you will be reunited with her soon.

 

[debbie lynn smeaton]

HI Montana 16,
Thank you soooo much for saying what I'm feeling I know she wouldn't age like that at all, one thing about her she took so good care of herself and yes Is a very beautiful woman and they are working on fixing It so when I get that one I will ask kelly to put that one up but If It's not gonna look like her then I'm just gonna look Into that New Computerized age progressioning Thats really expensive but she Is worth It even If I have to hold a car wash or something else I will get the money for that. but hopefully the one there working will turn out I will let you now as soon as I do and thank you again for being honest and soooo nice but the honest part means more to me then anything else.
Take care and I will be In touch.

Now maybe I have a shot of getting her story out there so theres a chance of me finding my beautiful mother God I hope so.:angel:

 

[debbie lynn smeaton]

HI Everyone,
I talked to someone today and they might be able to get her story on t.v. and also we are gonna get the justice she deserves for the first local police lack of help and that Is putting it mildly.
I just wanted to share with the people that have been so nice to me on this site and I hope to hear from you soon and also remember you are all In my prayers.:dance: :dance: :dance:

 

[debbie lynn smeaton]

HI Everyone,
I finally got some exposure for my Endangered/Missing Mom,
and I wanted to give you the link to her story and ask am I going about this the right way or Is there other avenue's I should also be taking since I found out she Is out there some where????
feel free to let me know your opinion's and what I could do now that the childseek and realcrimes done her story's should I start again with the news stations???

http://www.realcrimes.com and http://www.childseeknetwork.com/Nov/1.htm

 

[debbie lynn smeaton]

HI Everyone,
I got my mom featured on realcrimes and I was reading the message board and they were talking about getting the books done on these case's featured and I don't know what hey mean and I was wondering if some of you would take a look and tell me what you think,I mean I don't care if they do or if they got the rights to as long as it will help in finding my mom but I would want them to work with me so it's accurate.
http://realcrimes.com/case1/comments.php this is where I guess the writer's visit and we can post.
http://www.realcrimes.com scroll down to the 4th from the bottom and you will see my mom's name Ruth Hoffman and click on there and her story will come up.
I am sorry to bother anyone but I need to know what they mean.
http://www.geocities.com/ruthhoffmanmissing her official site with all her info.
