Sometimes people confuse a drug addict or a homeless person or even a prostitute with someone who is not loved and does not love. How tragically sad.

Maliciously missing, Glenedene, that is what happened in the Vancouver case, but although there were about 3 women who did just take off and not tell anyone, the rest were truly missing and as we know now all murdered including Sarah. I remember when I first went into the Missing Persons department and met with the Det, he kept saying well these are transient people and they just take off and go to some other city. I told him no way, Sarah would never have done that. She cared so much about her family and friends she would never have wanted them to think something had happened to her. It was a theme that came up quite often with the Vancouver Police. The Vancouver Police got it all right, but not until 68 women had vanished without a trace.

Maureen and I 'met' when Jessie went missing. Her husband Jon had already been missing and because they both went missing in Las Vegas, we somehow connected with each other (gosh, I don't even remember how we met anymore). For a very long time Maureen and her family went through hell. There was not one single thing showing that he just left, so like all loving families, they reported him missing and searched and searched and searched and was in pain through it all. However, it turns out, he chose to put his family through this. I am sure a person can come up with a million reasons to leave and a million excuses as to why they left - but none of it compares to what the loved ones left behind feel and go through. G.

As the mother of a missing woman, I have to say my opinion here.

If someone wants to leave & start a "new life" and truly does not want their significant other or members of their family to know - they still need to be humane about it. Tell someone else, if not someone in your family, tell a friend, a co-worker, your boss, your neighbour . . . report yourself to the police before you leave, so when your loved ones are beside themselves with fear over what they believe might happened to you and they call the them - at the very least, the police can tell them right away that the person is alive and safe and has moved on. They may not like it, but they will have no choice but to live with it.

They do not HAVE to tell anyone, of course - it is not illegal . . . YET. BUT if there has been a missing person's report made, with man hours put in, and searches done looking for them and they have just "picked up and moved on", then yes, they should have to pay restitution for it. I heard someone on HLN yesterday say that it is not fair to their family to be put into financial distress, so he believes there should be charges laid instead.

For all those who have been reading this thread, the ones that have had anyone they know go missing for even a day (hell, even an hour), you know the fear. You know the panic. You know what we go through. We can't sleep, we can't eat, we cry, we scream, we are in pain - and if someone did that to us INTENTIONALLY . . . well, I don't even know what to say. I just know that having a missing loved one is one of the worst things a person can live through, if not the worse - there are no answers, it goes on and on, and we have to try to live with it.

A MALICIOUS MISSING PERSON IS AN AWESOME TERM and it needs to be a crime. I would not call myself one, even jokingly, because I doubt anyone in this group is that heartless - the reason we have all come together is because we all care.

So, remember - If you want to leave, LEAVE - just be a grownup about it. Do not let someone live my life ON PURPOSE. Glendene.
