Excellent idea, beachlvr. I will email Oprah as well as local stations and newspapers.
And not that this horrific situation of 5 missing people needs any "beefing" up, but there are a total of 11 in Virginia who were missing or murdered starting in late August 2009. So far, none of the cases have been solved. In addition to the 5 already mentioned earlier you can add:
Cassandra Morton, 23, missing 10/10/09, Lynchburg, VA, discovered in a wooded area, Candlers Mountain, near Liberty University, 11/29/2009. Deceased.
Morgan Harrington, 20, missing 10/17/09, Charlottesville, VA, discovered 1/26/10, 10 miles from arena she attended for Metallica concert. Deceased.
Heidi Childs, 18, and David Metzler, 19, VTech students, discovered 8/28/09 shot and murdered near Caldwell Fields, VA, in the Jefferson National Forest.
Suzanne Patsel, 43, missing from Roanoke, VA, 9/14/09. Supposed to meet family at mall, but never showed up.
Letisha Faust, 50, missing since 12/9/2009, vehicle located, but she has not been found. Landowner found the vehicle in a remote area of his property that is not visible from the road.
Since August 28 then, 11 Virginia citizens have either disappeared or have been murdered, and their cases remain unsolved ... That's a lot of people. Way too many people in a six-month period.
