“When we received this letter, I will tell you it was unprecedented. We have not seen anything like that in recent times in other investigations. But most importantly, it gave us hope,” said Kieran Ramsey, the FBI special agent in charge who is leading the investigation.

It has happened in other cases. Just a few weeks ago I was watching a film about a case of a young girl abducted where the perp held her for a time, and made her write a letter to her parents. I'll have to look up her name. Her older sister was in beauty pageants, and is now a minister.
ETA: Shari Smith, murdered by Larry Gene Bell
So, with the release of the info about the letter, what do we all think now with regards to theories, etc?
Abby, Mom misses you. Here is a letter from Mom to you.

Think demographics and finances. They have fewer missing people due to lower population therefore less funds than say a Massachusetts or NY... but possibly not per person. I don't know the numbers, but clearly the demographics are different in an NH than a CA. I also think it looks different, but isn't different demographically/financially. MA look like they let a lot be ignored, but if you look at all the big news stories, the FBI, missing persons the percentage that are clearly worked on by FBI and clearly not may be much the same if not almost equivalent. Lastly, the FBI is federal. I can't imagine they are kidding around when they say they have grave concerns for her safety. If they thought this child had run and was safe somewhere, do you really think the feds would be spending their time on this? This plea/letter from Abby's mom is (imho) that alone, a plea to her child. She wants her daughter home and is remaining hopeful and trying any avenue she can to either get her home or hear that she is alive and safe.Unless I am getting the wrong impression, it appears that her mother believes she left on her own and is staying away on her own. She read Abigail's letter and we did not, so I have to assume she knows more than we do. I hope Abigail comes home or at least gets in touch right away.
I think LE is involved only because she is a minor and needs to be located. Maybe NH has the luxury of trying to find her because they have so few missing people, apparently.

I'm glad to see that Abby's mother continues to reach out to her and I pray that Abby comes home very soon. However, her letter seems to be entirely built on the premise that Abby is in control of her situation, making her a runaway. That seems totally inconsistent with Mom's statement that Abby was happy and showed no indication of having any problems. In addition, Mom's promise that all the attention will go away makes me wonder if our efforts are counter productive.
I read updates on this case everyday, pray for Abby each night, and would happily do what I could to bring her back. On the other hand, if she returns home safely and the family asks for privacy, I'll let it go immediately and hope the media would do the same.
If Abby has some problems or worries, they can't be as bad as she imagines and I hope she returns to her friends and family to trust in their loving support.
