We may be headed in the right direction? It was the tipster from the newspaper who suggested MySpace.com. She is not one who visits the internet very much either.Shadow205 said:Gina, you posted this: And this person was kind enough to make an Anna banner for me:

This is from her site:
"This site was established on 09/26/06. It is here to help find missing persons. I know this works, for I have searched for my sister since I first found out about her 14 years ago, I have done everything humanly possible to find her, and after posting her on MySpace, I had found my sister by other people recognizing her photo. These people on MySpace brought me and my sister together, and I know if we all pull together we can try and help find other missing people. If you have a friend or loved one you are searching for, send their photos and all info and it will be posted. Or if you want to send a childs photo and info from the news to try and help"
I was just browsing around and found this info about MySpace:SherlockJr said:We may be headed in the right direction? It was the tipster from the newspaper who suggested MySpace.com. She is not one who visits the internet very much either.
Dr. Doogie said:Like almost anything, MySpace can be used for good or bad. The media tells the stories of pedophiles trolling Myspace looking for victims, but rarely do you hear of positive uses of it.
Can you imagine if the the media only reported bomb threats and obscene calls when talking about the telephone? People would conclude that phones were inherently evil and ban them from their house too.
The page I set up for Anna, I think is doing well. It is getting many visits, however some of the visits may be coming from members and visitors of Websleuths. It's more than a full time job to do searches and adding friends. If I searched for anyone with the name Anna within 100 miles of San Mateo, the results are over 450 pages with about 10-15 profiles per page. Then you have to go thru every page and look at the profiles of girls around Anna's age. Just think how simple this might be if Annasmom had agreed to change her first name to Eifee!Jodibug said:That's amazing! I have never thought of MySpace as a tool. In fact, I have it blocked at my house because I am terrified of my kids getting on it.
Maybe someday I'll be able to reconsider that. I am really glad that there are some positive uses for MySpace and I hope it brings forth some new leads in this search!
The myspace acct. profile is set as "private" and "he" is listed as a female. :waitasec:Gina_M said:I've been in touch with someone on MySpace who used to work in law enforcement and still helps search for missing people. He said he's done some work on Anna's case and is still doing work on it. Here's the link to his profile:
