KCaswell - thanks for your input. I also read the article at the link posted by 1curious1. Now I am wondering if her depression played a major role in what happened to her. LE said in the article that it was important to find her quickly due to her depression. If she wasn't taking her meds she may have become so down that she committed suicide. I know that is not considered a primary possibility, but I can't help but wonder. Could she have jumped from a bridge somewhere? But then I would think a body would have surfaced by now. I don't know, but this case has consumed me from the beginning. At first I wondered if her insistence at going to MB (to the point of going anyway when her mother said No) was connected in some way to her disappearance. Did she meet someone on line? Was there someone she knew, or knew of through other friends, whom she was planning to see in MB?? It still bothers me that she wanted to go so badly that she went with girls that she was more acquaintances with friends. I know that neither of my daughters would go on a trip like that with girls they weren't that comfortable with, unless there was some major motivating factor. And that is where I am stumped. This whole case is baffling, and maddening because the girls who went to MB are not saying all they know. Too bad someone can't put truth serum in their dinners!
