MY NIECE IS MISSING (3/9/03 Update: "MICHELLE CAME HOME LAST NIGHT AT 2AM!!!")
self | self

Posted on 03/06/2003 6:50:41 AM PST by RMDupree

Please forgive the vanity, but my family is desperate for some FReeper help and prayers!

My niece, Michelle Berry, left home for a walk at 4:30PM on Sunday, March 2, 2003. She's 14 years old, blonde hair, blue eyes, about 5' 2", between 115-120 pounds. She's a beautiful girl and will be noticed in a crowd.

Michelle has run away before, but has always called or had a friend call for her. But this time, she left wearing flip flops and didn't take anything with her, no money, not her purse, nothing!

Her friends, old boyfriends, etc have not heard from her and are helping us pass out flyers and asking people if they've seen her.

Michelle's parents, Shiela and Allen Berry, are worried sick, as any of us would be in this situation and I'm hoping that some FReeper eyes and prayers can bring Michelle home. This is the FOURTH day and she's NEVER been gone this long, especially without calling her friends!!!

Note: She had her mother's cell phone with her and 2 calls were made. One at 5:04PM where she tried to call her friend Eric, but he did not answer and the other at 5:15PM to her friend Chris who did answer and has told us that she was calling to let him know that she wasn't coming over. We have spoken to the cell phone company and they informed us that no other calls have been logged on that number, but that it appears to still be within the range of the Miami tower.

No one has spoken to her since, but last night, a call came in to the house from that cell phone number. When Allen answered it, the person on the other end hung up. This gives us hope that she is just scared to call, and that's why I'm asking for prayers.

I pray that Michelle is just pulling a teenage stunt and that nothing has happened to her, but as more and more time goes by, our desperation grows. Please pray for her safe and quick return!

Thank you so very much.

Ruthy Dupree

She has been official filed as a missing person. The number to call is (305) 4-POLICE and her case number is 115406B.

I wanted to post the actual flyer, but it is too graphic intensive and takes forever to download. I'm posting her pics instead along with typewritten stats for ease and convenience. Pass it along to anyone you know!

Oh Lord. Prayers going up Ruthy...

Sometimes I wish we could track cell phones!

So the cell phone company says it 'is probably still within range'... So they can tell that? I assume they have called it many times, does it just ring?

I will be praying for her to return but my head says this young girl is headed for or already in very severe trouble. Those young girls and boys who run away very often become used by the lowest forms of life that slither on this planet. far be it from me to prescribe what needs to be done but when and if she returns some serious intervention needs to be undertaken.
