Thanks for this. She posted alot on the 17th of November. It makes me a tad uncomfortable in that it sounds prophetic. I wonder what she was doing in Arkansas? I hope they find her alive. She sounds like a gentle, loving soul.

According to her FB page, she is married. Did hubby report her missing, or was it someone else? Trying to catch up here.

What's really weird is that their all dated Nov. 17th, including a post about SP, who was a victim last year of her step father and mother and took off with some man she met online. It doesn't show a year's difference in the time stamp. What in the world?

 

[Steelslady]

Oh my goodness, there's some weird information about "phones" from a friend on this page. We can't discuss it here, but it's worth keeping an eye on. Newton County Sheriff's Office Arkansas

Oy, I am really scared for this woman and the possibility of who may be involved in her disappearance.

That Sheriff seems like he's on the ball and very active on there as well as in the community.

Something fishy is definitely up with this poor woman's disappearance.

Still missing, not a trace of her. No one has heard from her. I don't get a good vibe about her being ok. Sitting on my hands for now.

From that same article, which is what I suspect:

So far, the sheriff isn't ruling out foul play.
