local PSA

Seattle folks, please check out this Seattle Times article about a missing UW student, and spread the word to other locals.

Co-workers may have seen signs in the ID this morning - the girl (18) "was last seen in the Rainier Beach neighborhood, where she lives, heading to a library on the UW campus." The investigation's just starting (they're hoping the security cams at the on-campus libraries will show if she made it that far), but she was reported missing on Saturday. She's non-local, and her family's all the way across the country.

There's a lot of variables here, but it's worth getting a good look at her picture and passing it on.

Update: The land of the internet is indeed small - thanks to dreamstrifer for pointing out that a friend of the missing girl is here on LJ. You can see the friend's post here, with more details about Marizela and more complete contact info if you've seen her or have any information that might help.

That girl and I are part of the same LJ community. One of the posting authors there made an announcement about her. :( So scary.

EDIT: I misspoke, That girl's friend and I are part of the same LJ community.

Yeesh. Yeah, I don't know her at all, just saw some signs on the way in to work and then the article in the Times this evening. I hope it turns out she just... I don't know, ran off with a boyfriend or something stupid like that, and comes right back when she realizes what a fuss she's caused. Something safe.

Well, she does have a boyfriend, and he doesn't know where she is. Her friend mentioned she is taking medication for depression, so... it's even scarier when you think about that.

There's a lot more information here: http://samerantha.livejournal.com/3010.html
