I'm glad you found this, Sarah. I've looked for her since yesterday...everywhere except channel 13.

[sarahhod]

LOL. Always the way Roamer, last place you look.

Mariah has been missing almost a week now, that's a long time for a 12 year old to be "out there" on her own. I just hope that a family friend or school friend has taken her in, wrong to think that I know but far better than the alternatives:(

I'd like to know how these alerts work. Are they the same as a news release and it is just the original information found in the news release? Or what?
