Getting back on topic...

I've heard of several new scams being played on the families of the missing. Perhaps I can get those who got such mailers to post their experiences.

It's an ongoing problem, and we hear of new things all the time.

With HOPE, Lanie

family members in special situation
I am going to speak from the position of a family member of a missing loved one. I have worn many hats over the twenty five years of my searching for Jean Marie Stewart, and sometimes I have to switch gears. I have been a cyber seeker for as many years as it has been available, and before that, I haunted cororners and LE with my phone calls.
The cases of the missing are all so individual that there really can be difficulty in knowing the right course to pursue. Some cases get lots of publicity, some, like Jean's , never get any. I have read posts in various forums about why people think this is so, but Jean's case doesn't fit any of those theories either. Maybe it is just that back in 1980, nobody wanted to notice. Now there are so many missing, we have to notice.

I post all over the place about Jean now. For years, I did not...just searched and searched for info. Now I actively seek it from strangers. It is always difficult to know how much info to post, how much will help me get some answers and how much would interfere with any later police actions. All I know is that after 25 years, no one is looking for her except those of us who love her.

It is horrific to think that there are people who would exploit and betray those of us who have suffered the loss and endured the uncertainty of a having a missing loved one. As someone who has now searched half of my life for my missing Jean Marie, I cannot imagine the void these people must have where their humanity should reside. In some ways, they are as despicable as the beasts who snatch people from our lives.

Pardon my ranting, but as we approach the 25th anniversary of Jean's disappearance, I am losing it.

Are you saying that Lauran's post is fraudulant? Thanks Lanie for guiding those of us who aren't as well informed! :angel:

Here is a link for Jean Marie Stewart. She is very much real and greatly missed by my whole family.

There is also a thread for Jean under "missing but not forgotten".

She is also listed with NCMEC as well as "for the lost".

Hi DS, I was trying to show y'all where you could post wishes to Lauran and her family.

I was also trying to get back on topic, as this thread was generated to bring awareness to the families of the missing, lost and abducted.

I assure you that Lauran is not a fraud, and Jean Marie is missing. Several of us are now assisting this family with links.

Please re-read my post and you will see what I meant. I feel certain of that.
Thanks for caring for the missing, DS. God bless you!

With love and HOPE, Lanie
