This is an urgent plea for help from Prairie Lady; these are her posts: [copied]
I JUST got off the phone with my neice. It seems my sister (her mother) is missing since yesterday between 3pm and 4:40pm yesterday from the SouthCarolina area.
She headed north as far as we can track, but then nothing. This is TOTALLY uncharacteristic of her.
We need to know if she is on her own willingly making decisions, or if she has been abducted and is in need of help. Is there anybody from that area that can help?
----------------------
ok, she spoke to hubbie from home via phone about 3 pm yesterday afternoon. She left home at that time saying she was headed for her local walmart near Aynor South Carolina..I don't know the exact town...maybe conroe or something? She never made it to walmart. Survaliance tapes show she never went in there. She withdrew some money from the bank locally. She put gas in her car at the north carolina / south carolina state line (cherry creek). She withdrew a BUNCH of money in Raliegh Durham North Carolina. She spoke to her daughter at 4:30 saying she was going christmas shopping and that she would be late. But she never made it home.
If she had any inclinations to leave home, she never indicated it, and she would NOT be heading NORTH!!
She is 5'7 inches tall, LONG legs, 150 lbs, has very short medium brown hair. lots of freckels, hazel eyes. Driving a Dark Blue BMW 4 door with a mini antennea on the driver's side on the post between the door and the windshield, licence plate # 845HLG
----------------------
Go ahead and post it at freeps..thanks

My brother in law is former military police. He made a call to the police and is tracking bank usage which is showing itself to be very abnormal such as numerous attempts to use the various cards but rejects due to wrong pin numbers. He's requested survalance tapes from the banks as well. She was supposed to go to walmart, but walmart survaliance tapes show she never made it there. So, hes compiling stuff to show that something IS very wrong.
Also, she talked to her daughter AFTER one of the cash drafts and said someting weird to her daughter...like I love you...and she NEVER says that to THAT daughter.
Anyway, I didn't want to put all this on the boards...
This is too weird.
------------------------
So why are they telling us that Alice might be in the car... I'm guessing they haven't left her in the trunk all this time... :(
You are so right... FOX getting ready to repeat the story after the break.
Gotta go and get to work. Will keep FOX on and keep praying and check in later. Take care.
FOX talking about it now. Showing picture of Fulks (sp?) sitting in a stolen BMW. Some kind of surveillance footage. It looked like a dark blue BMW.
Kentucky police arrest escapee linked to abductions; South Carolina kidnap victim still missing

ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) -- Police have caught one of the two Kentucky jail escapees who are suspects in a pair of abductions, and believe they spotted the other man in Ohio, authorities said Tuesday.
One of the abduction victims, a woman taken from a parking lot in South Carolina, was still missing Tuesday. A sheriff said without elaborating that the arrest provided "a lot of leads."
L. Branden Basham was arrested late Sunday after allegedly trying to hijack a car carrying a woman and her 15 year-old daughter in the parking lot of an Ashland mall, police said.
An officer spotted a man less than a block away and chased him, and "the suspect fired two shots at the officer, and the officer fired back," police Capt. Robert Ratliff said. "Neither was struck."
Police later found Basham in the nearby Ohio River, but don't know how he ended up in the water. He was treated for hypothermia.
Basham, 21, and Chadrick Fulks, 25, escaped Nov. 4 from the Hopkins County jail in western Kentucky. Basham was serving a five-year sentence for writing a bad check and Fulks was awaiting trial on robbery charges, authorities said.
Police believe they are linked the abduction Thursday in Conway, S.C., of Alice Louise Donovan of Galivants Ferry, S.C., who was taken from a Wal-Mart parking lot. She remained missing Tuesday.
Police in Conway had been conferring with Kentucky police since Basham's capture, said Conway Police Chief Sam Hendrick. "There are a lot of leads coming out of that arrest," he said.
Authorities in Indiana, West Virginia and North Carolina also were investigating because the fugitives are known to have been there, Hendrick said.
Late Monday, Ohio Highway Patrol troopers spotted a man believed to be Fulks sleeping in a car with a stolen West Virginia license plate at a rest area in Marion County in north-central Ohio, authorities said. The man sped off when a trooper ordered him out of the car, which was the same make as Donovan's, the patrol said.
A trooper broke off the pursuit because he feared another officer had been injured while trying to stop the car, patrol spokesman Lt. Gary Lewis said. The other trooper was uninjured.
"Our trooper did not see anyone else in the car but we don't know if there were possible victims or abductions inside the trunk," Lewis said.
Basham and Fulks also are suspected of abducting James Hawkins, 42, of Hanson, Ky., who was taken 40 miles north into Indiana and left tied to a tree, authorities said. Hawkins struggled for hours Nov. 6 before freeing himself.
Basham, of Hopkins County, Ky., was being held without bail on charges of attempted robbery, criminal attempt to commit murder on an officer and fleeing or eluding a police officer.

Dear Lord please bring this to a quick and happy conclusion!
Son-inlaw has taken flyer from FR to station, also gone to truck stops, parking lots and what have you.
When was this Great Dane?
AMEN !!!
I hope they catch the second guy soon. He can't get that far. As for the other one already in custody, I certainly hope they are using ANY MEANS NECESSARY to get him to talk. He has to have an idea where Alice is.
My folk's farm is only separated by one other farm from the dam area. It is a very good place to lose oneself. I called my folks and told them to lock their doors and turn on their radio. They're in their eighties and didn't have a clue that anything was going on. The escapee better hope that he does NOT come to their place though. Mom is a dead shot and has been practicing on coons, skunks and groundhogs all summer and has quite a burial ground under the old oak tree. We call her "Grannie get your gun!" She would have no problem with handling him.
