CA CA - Susan Jacobson, 59, Sun City/Roseville, 2 May 2013 - #2

[Deleted member 39678]

I'm sorry if I ever seemed to be directly criticizing the family. I'm not. I think they're in a horrible position. It's just so very frustrating to be local, wanting desperately to help, and having no idea what to do.

I will admit it adds a layer of frustration when the family doesn't seem to even be looking for her anymore - but I know there might be a dozen reasons for that.

I want to see her found.

Do we know that Susan's family isn't looking for her anymore or is that an assumption?

No need for an apology nikb. And i can completely understand your frustration, being local. But again, just because the family doesn't seem to be looking for her doesn't mean they are not, and if they aren't there may be some very good reasons that we are not privy to.

BBM so do I.

You're right.. I don't know. Lack of FB updates, postings here, and flyers in the area have led me to think so, but I don't know first hand. It's a good reminder.

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

Just as there could be innocent reasons why they are not posting here, there could be similar reasons why they are not updating the Facebook page.

I just think its a huge leap of assumption for posters to pronounce the reason for lack of updates is because of a lack of caring on the family's part.

Poin taken...

but looking on the other side of the coin... So to speak...

maybe Susan is reading here... Somewhere... And is encouraged that there are still a group of people she doesn't even know that are looking for her?

there has been at least one case where a missing person followed her own case... And she came back to notify LE that she was okay.. And there was a glorious family reunion!

(Ivy Merck WS case)

Just some thoughts...

 

[scmom]

Still no news on Susan.

Wow really?? That may be my reading for the night. I remember the name but didn't know anything about Ivy's story. That is amazing! Can you imagine how much we'd rejoice if that happened here?

I just finished skimming the later posts in Ivy's case, and wow...so glad she was found. I don't want to be a "downer" but it seems like Ivy was spotted here and there on video several times while she was missing, unlike Susan where it seems there's just nothing. BUT, I'm still keeping up hope.

Im alot like Susan. I recently retired. I always said it would be easy for me to be a recluse because I like to be by self and time to read or do whatever I want. I recently deactivated my FB because I long for my privacy.I had it for 4-5 years and was a farm town junkie. I qut it about a year ago when it go too big and was more work than fun.so I just wasnt enjoying FB anymore. I talk to my sister on the phone every day. I talk to my kids just about every day. I get out of the house about every day and go to the store or the Dollar Store. We dont have much else in my town. I hate going to Walmart which is 25 mi away and only go occasionally when I have to. Id rather online shop and do too much of it. After years of working and being around people I love my privacy and alone time. Im just not big on socializing.I am into these cases so my internet time is mostly websleuths So I understand her.

 

[concernedmother]

Remember the preachers wife who took off during a women of Faith conference, pawned her wedding ring and was gone for several months? Maybe Susan missed her old life and decided to just up and leave. Do we know why they moved? I would think moving to a new place at her age must of not been easy. I think that's harder on women than men. Maybe she was unhappy.

Concernedmother, I understand completely what you are saying re spending time alone. I spent years dealing with people at work (human resources) and since I was recently laid off from my job, am semi-retired. It takes a big effort for me to get out, preferring to stay at home.

I had a thought - what if Susan returned home voluntarily months ago and no one was alerted due to to the family's request for privacy? Is the case still open with the Roseville PD?

This has been the most baffling of disappearances I have encountered and it is on my mind a lot. The enormity of someone vanishing under mysterious circumstances makes me question why much more publicity wasn't given to this case. I mean, this is a mother, grandmother, sister and wife. I just don't get it.

It is so much easier for me to believe Susan is home, safe and sound, than the alternative.

BBM as I understand it from my questions to the Roseville PD FB website, emails to them, and asking a friend who's recently joined the Roseville PD, it's still an open case. On a scale of say 1-10 I don't know how they're treating it, but as far as I can tell it's still open. Not very publicized IMO, but open.

As far as the rest I think I'm probably like you (and Susan). I've always been that way, even in college - have to really force myself to get out. The one thing I notice in common with many of us introverts is that we seem drawn to the internet - IMO you can be quietly by yourself but still connect with others. I really loved the idea posted earlier that for all we know she's reading along and realizing people love and care about her. I know it's a longshot but I so hope that's the case.

Lectures aside, where is Susan? What happened to her and how are we ever going to find her if there is no activity by anyone anymore??? Will she ever be found? Is she relegated to being one of those ladies who disappears from the family home, while at a shopping center, never to be heard from again, and her remains found years from now by a hunter or his dog???

What a sad ending that would be to this lovely lady. Like in the case of Jessica Heeringa, there have been no organized searches for this lady.

So I guess we all just shrug our shoulders and say "Oh well. No one is looking for her so why should we at WS?" And just move on with our lives, to other cases where we have more to work with, just as her family has moved on because they still have jobs, homes, family to tend.

Um... I'm not trying to be a jerk here but did I ever come across that way? I'm not trying to lecture anyone! I'm not shrugging my shoulders, I promise you that. I'm very sorry if I ever came across that way. I have my own health issues that interfere with me physically searching for her or I'd be doing a lot more physically. I HAVE NOT given up on Susan and I won't. I'm following other cases as well but I think of Susan daily, and try to think of what I might be able to do for her. I haven't given up on her, I just don't know what to do.

From this article:

"Susan and Chris Jacobson moved to Roseville from Las Vegas in 2006, primarily to be closer to their son, Kevin, who was caring for Susan’s ailing mother in the Bay Area. Susan and Chris settled into their Sun City home. Chris started working at the Rocklin R.C. Willey and Susan took over fulltime care of her mother, who eventually passed away in 2007."

Thinking of Susan tonight. Susan I hope you're out there and ok. Heck I hope you're not only out there but enjoying a fabulous new life, however unlikely that may be. I try to be an optimist.

BBM: Who was this? Name? Is there a thread on her? I'm interested.

Mary Smith.
There is another case too of a woman who disappeared about the time a drifter came through and stayed at their house.She was a religious woman. They found her a few weeks later in a state park. I cant remember her name. She left on her own.

I hope Susan is ok. I know its a big stretch but possible.

BBM I hope so too. Thinking a lot about Susan again today for some reason. Wish there was something new.

 

[concernedmother]

I know. I really hope something happens soon.

You sound a lot like me, Concernedmother...
