@madamx tomorrow I'll look through newspapers and see if I can find more on Francia's or Sonya's disappearance. Both seem like decent enough matches with what little is known.

I know, I'm always pleasantly surprised when I find a photo of a MP/UID in a newspaper article! Especially when there were none previously available. Fingers crossed.
