Their father has been deceased since they were 3 and 5. That's what I took "conversion of trust" to mean too. I suspect that the cop just didn't want to deal with me. The problem is, if I report the car stolen, and it turns out that it's not, I don't want something like this on her police record. I'm looking for a lawyer I can call at 9:30 am on a Sunday so I can inquire. It's saddens me that they would look harder for a stolen car than a missing child, but that's how I feel right now.
Thomas Hurley just called me back from church and said that he has started a call chain based on who the group leaders might be for Christina's H.S. He couldn't give me phone numbers but promised me that someone would call me back as soon as they knew something.
I don't think it is a good idea to report it stolen if it wasn't. They already know it wasn't stolen and they aren't going to look any harder for your daughter. And she would face charges when you find her or you would face charges for filing a false report.
Try the local media. Maybe you could get someone to listen and put her picture up. They don't have to wait until the police start searching. They do human interest stories all the time.
Are the police waiting 3 days? That is such a stupid law. I would go to the media and tell them about her life. If you can convince someone at the media that she didn't run away, you have a better chance of getting her story out.
I just started reading this thread, so I might have missed something. How about "young Life"? Have any of her friends there been contacted. Take her picture and show it around. anyplace you think she may have been. The mall, etc.
