ATTN Virginia RESIDENCE....MISSING TEEN IN YOUR AREA

I am Samantha's cousin and I was surfing the internet and stumbled upon your post. It's very kind and considerate to see that there are a lot of people out there trying to help us find her. As of now, there is no word. The police are doing everything they can and I have done everything possible in my power to help find her. She's an amazing person and a very friend. She's very near and dear to my heart and all I want, along with everyone else, is to find her. Thanks again for your concern. I'll keep updating...

Morgan:  Are you Steve's fiance?  i got an email from him today (Sweet guy!!)  I also posted this to www.city-data.com in Virginia and on the "parenting format of that site.  Gail Arthur, I think her husband works with Samantha's dad has posted it on Top Agent Toolbox.  I had another Active Rain member yesterday say she would post it to her MLS board I think she was in DC.  This is what we need to do.  Get the word out to as many people as possible.  THEN get a massive man hunt going, talk to all her friends, ask them were she might have gone.  If she was leaving early in the AM did she drink coffee?  any coffee shops around?  Hand out flyers.  Someone has to know something.  Keep thinking positive.  Love to you all.  Becky

Becky,

This is Steve's fiancee, Amie. I, too am one of Sam's cousin's. I greatly appreciate you posting this for us. We have sent out flyers and emails all over the country.

Again, thank you for helping us.

OOPS  Sorry Amie.  Just know that everyone in cyperland is keeping an eye out and praying that she is OK.  Keep us up to date OK?   Becky

Please know that everyone in Bedford is concerned and praying for the safety of this young woman.  Thank you for the posts.  People all over are praying for this young woman.

Samantha and I were 2 months apart in age. We grew up together. I know her better than anyone else in this world and this is NOT right. We need to find her. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. It's so surreal.

Morgan and Heather:  You kids (i assume) all know people that know her.  Start talking among yourselves, to her best friends, boyfriend (if any) THINK the way she might think..If she was leaving what directions would she have gone?  I asked if she was a coffee drinker, if so, look for a Quick Shop, visit it early in the AM to see if the clerk that might have been on duty and possibly had seen her-give out fliers to every possible stop between where she was that night and where she SHOULD have gone. ie.work, home, etc.  

Why was she where she was anyway?  have the police searched that house for clues, fingerprints, tiretracks of unknown vehicles?

Who had she talked to/texted that night?  She texted her brother but who before then?  Texting is very popular my 21, 19, & 16 can rack up 1000's in a month.

GAIL:  Have her parents called the phone company for her phone records that night AND SINCE THAT NIGHT?  You should be able to get her cell phone #'s of people she talked to that night!!!!Police probably have already gotten the records but maybe since her dad and her were close, it might shed some light on the situation.  Get the records and start contacting people. 

I know in my nieces case, WE were tracking down leads ourselves and talking to her friends. It was amazing what they know about each other and MIGHT be willing to share ESPECIALLY if foul play is suspected and they think they could be an accessory.  The police were doing all they could with the resources they had BUT we tracked her down. 

I will call my brother tomorrow too.  We will have a conversation about the strange things that happened to my niece-it was amazing she was alive and still in Topeka.  That is why I would be pushing for an Amber Alert.  (I know I keep bringing that up!!)

Ok- to answer all your questions;

I have personally been to and spoken with the people she was with that night and they are just as shocked and worried as we are. they have nothing to hide. Just a buncha kids that got wasted and passed out- when they got up she was gone.

She made a phone call to her brother that night at 2:24Am, not a text message. And it lasted 3min+. When questioned, the brother said he didn't pick up and didn't get a voice mail but I don't know how that is possible AT ALL when the record says it lasted for 3+min. Cell phones don't just ring that long- there was a conversation or there's a voicemail. Someone's hiding something...

I've also called EVERY person I know that she associates with. All our friends are the same... everyone says the same things... no one has heard of her or seen her in days.

I made 100 flyers and passed them out to anyone and every store we could find within 50 miles of where she should be. We talked to people... we talked to everyone.

We talked to all the neighbors that live in that neighborhood where she was that night- no one knows anything. I've personally driven the roads she takes numerous times and my family and I have even walked and hiked the roads in search of some sort of clues. Nothing.

We have the cell phone records and there's nothing suspicious about anything. Her phone has been dead and her mailbox full since Monday. Which means she's not checking it.

I'm exausted and the next thing I'm looking into is a physchic investigator....

Morgan:  I have a 21, 19, & 16 yr old and kids stay the night at our house all the time.  Who else was at the house drinking and passed out that was not there in the morning?  If they went to bed at about 1:00 who all was there?  Who wasnt there in the morning when it was discovered that Sam wasnt there?  I mean, at my house, if they have been partying they will go get something to eat at Denny's at all hours of the night.  Is there a late night place to eat close to her cousins house?  That might be a place to take a flyer-if there is. AND is anyone else unaccounted for?

Was Sam so out of it that if she did decide to drive home, she would have been impaired?
