Regroup/Refocus for 2013

[one_hooah_wife]

Anna's Mom ... have you ever considered having the pages from the Squibb analyzed? I am always trying to use photoshop's many features to try and make out what is underneath the scribble. I read an article the other day that mentioned it is a lot better analyzing the actual pages and not scans or copies. They do this with a light box and magnifier ... and there is also some specialized equipment and software available that helps in some cases. I'm happy to check into that if that is something that you think might be useful. Also, it could possibly answer a lot of questions about Seka to know what the scribble on postcard is obscuring.

The journalist from Che l'ho visto asked for "artifacts" and so we got down the boxes and trunks. I thought I would add pictures of three things to my WebSleuths album before I packed them away again: Anna's quilt, her cowboy boots, and a daisy costume she wore that Halloween before she disappeared.

Thanks for sharing the pic's Annasmom. The daisy costume is adorable.

They are the things that I think Anna would remember from her childhood. I remember my quilt from when I was a child, it always brought comfort when I was cold or sick or scared. I think most people remember their favorite quilt or blanket from their childhood.

I know it must be very painful for you to go through Anna's belongings but do you have other favorite items of Anna's that you could take photo's of and put in your album?

I'm not sure how the whole tag thing works, maybe Cubby can help out here, but if these photos or your album can be tagged, if Anna happened to google quilts or costumes she might see her childhood belongings and remember them.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the pictures, they are fantastic Annasmom! I'm so glad to see what they actually looked like.

I didn't have an imagine in my mind about the quilt or the costume, but for some reason I thought the cowboy boots had red in them and were more childlike looking. I love seeing the picture and seeing they look like 'real' cowboy boots versus something a child might wear only for dress up play.

thanks for sharing!

I don't know that the tag feature works for member photo albums but I am updating the images only- no discussion thread (up in the sticky area)when new pic's are added.

Thanks, everybody.

I had a letter from the FBI saying that they had opened a file on "Disappearance of Anna Christian Eifee Waters" which says "Currently your request is being reviewed by an analyst" and gives a telephone number for inquiring about the state of the request. I had thought the FBI had a file on Anna years ago, but this one is specifically about her disappearance and uses the added name. Thanks to Bern for getting this started. Are you all still there?

Great news!

 

[Dr. Doogie]

I recall that the FBI was aware of Anna's case within the context of the several missing Bay Area girls during the 1980's (Michaela Garecht, Amber Schwartz-Garcia, Ilene Mischeloff, etc.) I had just assumed that they had an individual file for Anna, but I guess that assumption was incorrect.

Maybe I watch too much TV, but I thought all abducted/missing children/persons was handled by the FBI.

Annasmom,

It has been very quiet on here lately but please don't think we have all gone away.

I log in every single morning and night to have a look at what is going on and nothing has been happening for quite some time. I personally, just don't know what area to look at. I'm at a bit of a stale mate.

I have spent hours looking at different things and posted them but it doesn't seem to go any further.

Maybe we are all placing too much hope on the Italian TV program at the moment and not looking outside the square.

I think of Anna, you and your family every day without fail.

This might just be the kick in the bum we all need at the moment.

Dr Doogie (Doug), it might help if you could comment more often. To me (and I am not talking for others) you are our leader, you started this investigation.
I personally, would like to see you here more often. We need your guidance.

If I have spoken out of turn here in any way, shape or form, I sincerely apologize.

.... I too thought the FBI had a file 'open' for Anna, interesting they've added Eifee to her name for this file. Can we possibly find out more about this and what do they do with the information?

I am always here, online daily at work and come here to check the forum and I do searches online as well all the time in hopes of finding 'our girl'.

Must say, I can't wait for the airing of Anna's documentary.

Much love...

We have seen many cases in the last few years that give us hope of finding Anna alive such as Jaycee Lee Dugard. Here is an article about a case that closely mirrors Anna's that resulted in a reunion:

http://www.tahoedailytribune.com/article/20100702/NEWS/100709966&parentprofile=search

This woman was taken as a four-year-old in 1975 by a "former family friend". When she was forty years old, she finally located her real family and was reunited.

It is interesting to see the story told to this girl by her kidnapper and how her memories helped find her family. If this story is any indication, our suppositions of what may have happened are reasonable.

Another happy ending that lends hope to finding Anna. Thanks for posting it Dr Doogie.

ditto. And it gives hope that Anna is still looking for her family too.

 

[Dr. Doogie]

I am glad that this woman has found her family, but I am really glad that she found her family before we found out about her. Enough of her vitals (age, look, etc.) was close enough to Anna that we probably would have had another year-long wait/anticipation/agony like the "C" era. I even noticed that her picture resembled the high school aged progression of Anna.
