I received the following email from someone who is not a member here:
"I have recently come across the forum at Web Sleuths.....and after spending days and days going through the initial postings, I still (like many others including you) can't get Anna out of my mind!
Anyway.....tonight, I did a search for her again and came across the recent article that shows a photo of you and AnnasMom putting a missing poster on the mailbox of their old house. I never knew Anna's mother's name until I saw that article and all of a sudden something hit me that was almost frightening.
Can you PLEASE tell me how she pronounces her name? The reason I ask is that about ten years ago I knew this girl - we attended Tulsa Community College together - and her name was spelled similar to Anna's mom and she pronounced it Ma-KAY-la. Her name in and of itself would not be strange what was strange was the fact that she was very confused as to her identity and origins AND her name had something to do with this. I recall her saying that though it had been pronounced differently all her life, someone had once told her or she had recalled that it was actually supposed to be pronounced the way she now uses it. She had no family and/or had no recollecton of them or at least something to this effect. She had very long blonde hair....but I don't recall her eye color though I am almost thinking they were brown. I just cannot remember. Also, as I am writing this, I am recalling the person who posted teh article about the Kabalian (sp?) numerology sect and how they said someone with the name Michael had the perfect vibe (or something to this effect). Anna's mom's name is very similar to Michael.......and perhaps this all plays into it as well.
Anyway, it seems like this girl's name appeared to be spelled differently (like Michaela or Michelle) but she pronounced it the other way. She was near to my age - I am 40 now - give or take a couple of years in either direction. She was living in Tulsa near to the downtown area in a very small but quaint apartment in a house and was a masseuse. The last time I saw her was around Thanksgiving 1995 or 1996 because actually she was so sad as to be odd. She was going through therapy - to do with her identity and other issues - and had an uncomfortable habit of attaching herself to you. She attached herself to me and literally I took her with me to my family's for Thanksgiving and she wouldn't let me out of her sight. It was a little too strange for me at 28 years old. Anyway, I am trying to remember her last name and will see if I can find at least her old contact info though right now off the top of my head it totally escapes me. But, I will look.
I couldn't post this because I am not a member and after seeing all the difficulties others have had decided to simply email you direct. You are welcome to post this if you wish. In the meantime, I would really like to know how Anna's mom pronounces her name, because this was a significant issue with the girl I am referring to - she was very particular about how her name was pronounced even though I had the distinct impression she wasn't even sure why. "
Annasmom's first name is Michaele, which is the feminine version of Michael. It is pronounced just like the masculine version.
This person then sent me an additional email stating that license plates in Oklahoma from 1970 through 1973 were green letters with a white background (like the plates described by Annasbro when the couple in the car attempted to lure Anna).
