Sara,

Glad you found that link for Sarah T.

Just a suggestion for anyone posting anything about remains being found please include a link (legally you should include a link) and continue to follow the story you posted for any updates and post those updates.

Also, just a thought:

All of the families of the missing come from different backgrounds, different personalities, and cope differently. There are some very, very fragile families out there.

Many of us are keeping a watch out for each other and we know which families we can privately email with information on remains found and which we can't or have to be more careful in presenting the information to.

Some it does not upset them, they may even welcome seeing a posting on a board of remains found. Others it can send over the edge.

After reading an article about remains found and you have an idea, or even just a guess that it might be a certain missing person contact the missing person organization that is working with that family and discuss it with them and let them be the ones to decide whether or not they want to bring that information to the family. If it's a good organization they have built a relationship with the family and they will know what's best to do.

I believe that it sounds like they have been identified as Crystal...

What is known about the remains found in KY? This is the first I've heard of this. I know Todd Matthews has Heather's DNA. Someone please let me know. Heather does have fillings in her teeth. She had her wisdom teeth excised when she was 16.

Examiners Working To ID Human Remains from KY; they believe a female teenager. Prayers for the family that they can ID this child and bring closure to her loved ones.

There's still no word on the identity of remains found by a hunter over the weekend in McCreary County.

The Kentucky Medical Examiner's Office says they have not been able to make a positive identification yet and there's no timetable on how long it may take.

So far, no dental records have been available. Police say the remains are that of a female teenager.

The family of Crystal Marler,.who's been missing since 1998, tells 27 NEWSFIRST they are holding out hope the remains are hers, but they've been told the skull had teeth with 2 fillings in it and they don't remember Marler having any fillings.

That is what I am afraid of is that she is being kept against her will somewhere. The detectives think she is just hiding out until she is 18 so she can do whatever she wants to do until then. I am afraid of the sex trade people maybe having her as she is "marketable"

THANK YOU MAGGIE FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE. THIS GROUP IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO ME AS I HAVE HAD A DAUGHTER THAT AS A TEEN CAME UP MISSING. I UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO CONNECT. I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT A VAST MAJORITY OF TEENS ARE OFTEN TAKEN BY MEN AND PLACED INTO SEX SLAVERY AND PROSITUTION. SOME TIMES WE THINK TEENS RUN AWAY WHEN IN REALITY MANY OF THEM ARE ABDUCTED. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING YOU ARE DOING. BLESSINGS MAGGIE.
