Searching for Anna - #1

[Annasmom]

This is probably nothing, but L is also Roman numeral for 50.

I took the other pic off Doogie's site, where Anna is turned to the right a little and superimposed the pic of this other little girl on top of it... it's eerie... the features line up pefectly! The eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips... I don't have a way to post the pic to show you all but it is a great match up!

Here is the picture of Anna where her eyes are almost closed - she is making a funny face:

go higher!!!!

 

[Dr. Doogie]

go higher!!!!

To the Big Guy upstairs?

Someone suggested earlier that we start an e-mail chain & attaching Annas picture to the e-mail. I really believe it's worth a shot! Note in the e-mail believed to be living at Synanon.

 

[Dr. Doogie]

I have posted links to all of the pictures of Anna in the Vital Statistics thread (Post #13). This is to help people find them without having to scour all of the threads for the various links.

I have been able to confirm that George Waters worked at an unidentified alcohol rehab center some time prior to January 1973. Even if this un-named center was not directly connected to Synanon, it is feasible that fellow employees might have had Synanon connections.

Annasmom, please save me from unnecessary research if you can - do you recall the name of any place that GW worked at that specifically dealt with alcohol rehab? Please PM me the name and I will research it for Synanon connections.

I suspect that "L's" stands for "Liberals", but I tend to blame them for everything. :liar:

I don't want to post a ton of Synanon information on this thread but thought I would post a few things that might or might not help you Doogie.

Synanon has had a profound impact on drug treatment in America and throughout the world. More than 2,000 therapeutic communities created to treat drug addicts--including Amity--are modeled on Synanon.
At one time, Synanon owned more than a dozen properties in California and elsewhere. All of the properties were later sold after the IRS revoked its nonprofit status. All of them except for the ranch.

Could the "L" be for lawyers? Just a thought...

My belief is that "L's" means "Lloyd's", as in Lloyd's of London where he did have an insurance policy. It could stand for lawyers, but since it was plural or possevive (the 's) and I believe that the previous debatable word is "MONY" (Mutual of New York, another insurance company), this whole note seems to refer to insurance manuevers related to the "final arrangements" for what was to occur in January 1973.

Waters had already taken out several policies on himself with Brody as the beneficiary, so why this time it was different and required a "plan" is anyone's guess, but I believe that it was somehow tied up with Anna's soon-to-be disappearance.

That picture made me cry. Annasmom, here is a big hug for you. I can't imagine going through missing that gorgeous baby for 30+ years. My belief is that there is a reason for everything that happens; I cannot think of any possible reason this could happen to anyone. I won't go into religious beliefs here but I reaaally have to read the Book later tonight to find some answers.

Was this post really necessary??? Why are you bashing Liberals out of the blue? Go do that in the Political Pavilion if you have to. I am a Liberal, take great offense at your post, and I was one who was following Anna's case. Why do you suddenly want to disenfranchise us? I would suggest you think about deleting your post before you offend other Liberals who were supporting your cause!

Necessary, no, but I had hoped that all who would see it as parody (notice the "liar" icon next to the post). Even though I am politically converative, the post was meant to be a jab at the conservative tendency to blame liberals for all of the world's troubles (My car won't start? Blame Bill Clinton!). I am sorry that you felt offense at the post, but I will not remove it because you are not the object of the joke - I am!

We deal with serious stuff here all the time and a little levity every once in awhile helps keep us sane. I appreciate your interest in the site and hope that your interest continues.

I have found an interesting handwritten note in the Box From Hell. Some words are undeciperable, but here it is in its entirity:

Plan

1. Contact (undecipherable, looks like "mome") (a p with a line above it) Final arrangements (a c with a line above it) L's have been made. Jan 1973

2. Apply for $100.000 (a c with a line above it) A.C.E. as B (scribbled out word)

3. 3 months later negotiate increase to 5. (undecipherable, looks like "slils") ACE

4. 3 mos later change B.

What is interesting is that this note outlines a plan where the "final arrangements" conclude with something happening in January 1973, the month and year that Anna disappeared. This plan also includes applying for a sum of money (either $100.00 with one too many zeros behind the decimal or $100,000 with a period instead of a comma in the number). It appears the plan was to apply as Brody, then change the name on the loan three months later (which does not make a lot of sense, but that was apparently the plan).

The symbols used in the note appear to be shorthand. Is anyone out there familar with these symbols?

Was the note written by Waters? Because I recognize them as medical abbreviations. The p with line above it is "after" and the c with line above it is "with." The L is probably for Lawyers, as Annasmom suggested, so:

1. Contact "mome" after final arrangements with lawyers have been made.

And would the A.C.E. be Anna Christian Eiffee? And B may be beneficiary, like they were talking about life insurance or something? So then it might say:

2. Apply for $100.000 with Anna Christian Eiffee as beneficiary

4. 3 mos later change beneficiary

(mome) = MONY (Mutual of New York)
ACE = Anna Christian Eifee
B=Beneficiary
L=Lawyers / Lloyd's (of London) / ? (still unclear)

A woman who was at Synanon during the timeframe that Anna disappeared is currently posting on the Rose L. Cole thread. Posters asked her if she recognized a picture of Anna and she said yes. When showed the picture of the young girl having her hair dried, she stated that she knew this girl and her parents - that she was born in Synanon (so she could not be Anna). What I am not clear on is is the girl in the picture the same girl who she identified when shown the picture of Anna, or could they be two different girls and one of them could still be Anna? The mystery intensifies...

She also stated that she did not recognize the names George Waters or George Brody. This is not a deal killer because the connection between Waters and Synanon could also have occured at the alcoholism clinic that Waters was working at (i.e. he may have worked with Synanon people but never set foot in a Synanon site).

I really wanted to ask her if she thought the two girls were the same, but she really didn't want to discuss if further to protect her privacy. She also said she THINKS this girl was born in Syanon. I would like to know just how old this mystery girl was when she first remembers her. Was she a baby? If so, that would rule out Anna. But, if she was 5, then well, whole different story. As for the little girls hair being dyed, maybe not. The pic was black and white, and also blonde hair can appear very dark when wet, which hers was. I assume you will look into this further with Julie, please keep us posted.
