Oh, dear. What was the name of that truck driver program, the one which alerted all the truckers to watch for the snipers.

If you know someone who has a CB radio, maybe even drive to a truck stop and get truckers to start passing the word. Sorry, kind of grasping at straws here.

I'm praying.

Another Prairie Lady post:

"He [BIL] notified police this morning, but he had to show foul play before he could get them to act before the 48 hour thing that they put on missing persons. She is now in the computer as missing or endangered."

[Spunky]

PistolPaknMama, would you help Cascadians out and post something about this on the South Carolina Message board?

I would have done it but it appears since the change of format on FreeRepublic no one except the people from that state can post on the state boards.

Thanks Spunky

[Cascadians]

Thank you Spunky!

Are you speaking of the TIPS program that they are supposed to use to report any suspicious possibly terrorist activity?

To the original poster, have Prairie Lady (or yourself), post this request for help out on Trucknet.com on their round table. You have to register a name, but there's no biggie to that. You might be able to get some of the homebodies left behind by truckers to help get the word out by cellphones to their driver buddies, plus some of the truckers sign in from terminals in truck stops. I'd post it for you, but I'll be away from the computer all evening, so I won't be able to feedback any responses, as you folks are doing between here and the site PL posts on.

I live in NH, I'm about to go home, via Rt 93. I've got her license plate on a sticky note for my steering wheel and will certainly holler up the Staties if I see her. I'm printing this thread so I have the background.

"is there a way you can find out what numbers she did punch in when using the wrong pin number? DH said he knew of a case where a person was forced to use their card and deliberately put in the wrong pin numbers to flag the system AND they also spelled something out with the numbers they did choose."

WOW! That is so incredibly smart!!! I'd've never thought of that...up until now...

And of course, I will be praying tonight.

[PistolPaknMama]

bumping the South Carolina bump list and posting on the locale message board too. Wish I could do more. :(

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Does she have a cell phone? I was thinking that if she were able to answer it, even for a moment, then can't the right people figure out where she is?

I'm sure her family has used it a million times, though, if she has one...

[Cascadians]

Thank you! And all, for your prayers, thank you so very much. Prayer is the most powerful force in the universe! Now praying for a lot of fast practical help to prevent Prairie Lady's sister Alice from being harmed further by her kidnappers (if that is indeed what is happening).

Post from Prairie Lady:

"Please tell them at freepers that i didn't know about trucknet.com but I will go there right now. Thanks"

Some posts from the TimeBomb2000 thread:

"Not enough info here to know if I can help or not... Her daughter does need to call the local police though asap... They will tell her the report can't be filed though until 24 hours have passed unless she explains you are sure/think it's fowl play and WHY very clearly. You'll need to have her vechile tags and Registeration, bank info, list of her planned where abouts and anything else available when she calls... Have her make that call immediately...

Post more info. if you can and I'll see what I can do to help...
----------------------------------------
That should be more than enough to get some quick attention from the police and the FBI since it sounds like the state border was crossed...
...
Call the local tv and radio stations for any area that they think she or her card have been and ask for them to comment on the car and plate number asking for anyone who's seen it to contact them... Have her leave contact info with the stations...
------------------------------
OMG Prarie Lady, she would know her own pins. If she was with someone you would think they would make her give pin numbers. This does not sound good. I will say some prayers. please keep us updated.
-------------------------------
Post the info everywhere. The more eyes looking the better.
-------------------------------
This is a real long shot...but is there a way you can find out what numbers she did punch in when using the wrong pin number? DH said he knew of a case where a person was forced to use their card and deliberately put in the wrong pin numbers to flag the system AND they also spelled something out with the numbers they did choose. Took a bit to figure out but this individual had put in a location they were being forced to drive to.
----------------------------------
" ... a reminder for all - that the holiday season is here - and with it come increased risks while shopping and using bank machines.

Here in western Washington, we are experiencing a rash of ATM robberies! Daytime/Nightime - it doesn't seem to matter! Please be careful! And know your surroundings and who and what is around you when using an ATM. Be sure it is well lighted and in a busy public area.
---------------------------
Does anyone here know what the most popular "Trucker" and "Rv'er" bulletin boards are?

Threads on those boards would one way to start getting the word out to the trucking and RV community ASAP.

Another way would be for the family members and friends in the area to blanket the truck stops with fliers handing them to the people and putting them on walls and under windshield wipers etc.

PL You might also consider starting a thread here at TB and over at Freepers etc specifically calling for help from East coast truckers.

My prayers are with you and your family.

I-40 runs through Raleigh-Durham. Get people to look west as well as north."

Registered at the truck site, but then it wouldn't let me post so I went to the trucking bozo?? site and e=mailed him this thread.

Someone else might want to e-mail him and tell him about the I-40 area.

KEEP THIS THREAD @ THE TOP!

It looks like there might be a need for an adult abduction alert. Greta Van Susteran has been talking all week about 4 college students unrelated incidents missing in the last month.

Prairie Lady you and your family are in my prayers. I pray that everything turns out well.
