I restored another picture with AI. I can't clean up this other photo of Lori because the restoration tool can't pick up a face with the lines on this other photo I found. But it looks a bit clearer than some of her other pictures.
1983You all have got to excuse me... I am terrible at math and dates. If she were 15 in 1978 and i'm assuming in.... 9th grade? or 8th grade? Then her graduating class would have been 1981 or 1982? Trying to find a page on facebook for her would-be graduating class.
I live in Italy, and here very often searches are done badly, many missing people are found dead a few meters or kilometers from home even after years... I wouldn't be surprised if it were nearby in the woods.That is pretty small. I'm sure her family hasn't forgotten about her, but it breaks my heart to know she's disappeared and it doesn't seem like anyone is looking. I wonder if franklin has a historical society, you'd think maybe for a town that small and a young girl gone missing there would be people that remembered it/ it made somewhat of an impact.
