My niece went missing three years ago today

[rhiannon55]

and her mother (my sister) has a broken heart. :cry:

Angie disappeared under very suspicious circumstances, but because she was an adult, and was not a rich blond cheerleader, my sister has had a hard time getting publicity. But she isn't giving up. Somebody knows something. If only that somebody would come forward.

What I've learned from this is that ambiguous loss is the worst kind of loss because there is never a chance for closure, and the not knowing eats you alive.

I'm posting this on the third anniversary of Angie's disappearance to honor her and my dear sister, and to honor everyone with missing loved ones.

1. Wow, that's really sad.

I'm sorry to hear of this grim anniversary. I wish you and your sister's family peace and comfort. As a mother myself, I can only imagine how horrible this must be for your sister. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Oh God, rhiannon, I can't begin to imagine...

My thoughts go with you, your sister and all of Angie's loved ones...that you some day find her, or closure. I'll be praying that she's returned to you. :hug: :cry:

[Kerrytravelers]

3. I am so sorry.

I looked at the pictures and information, but I don't recognize her. However, I will forward this information on to others.

[seemunkee]

4. Every parents nightmare

Your sister must go through Hell everyday not knowing. :hug:

I can't imagine the pain. :hug:

[flvegan]

7. I can't even begin to imagine what this is like.

I'm so sorry for Angie and her family.

[NewWaveChick1981]

8. Wow...

:hug: I took a look at her pictures and description, and I don't know her. But I can certainly pass on the information and ask other people. :) That's got to be horrible for your sister, you, and your family and friends. :hug: I'm really sorry.

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. How tragic for all!

:hug:

Has anyone contacted the Doe Network to get her file up? There are a lot of sleuths there that give personal time to make connections regarding missing persons.

Hoping someday all the efforts to find Angie do bring her back hime. :grouphug:

[rhiannon55]

26. Yes, she's listed there

My sister has posted info in a lot of places. Finding Angie is almost all she thinks about these days. Thanks so much for your concern.

[flamingyouth]

10. Prayers for you and your family.

This must be a horrible date for you. May there be peace. :hug:

[wildhorses]

11. so sorry that you have to honor another anniversary with the

ambiguity of not knowing. Prayers that you and your family find peace and comfort and that Angie is somewhere trying to get back to you all.

Did not recognize her but, will forward this on to everyone on my e-mail list.

you have my deepest sympathy,

wildhorses

[ThomCat]

12. I'm very sorry for what your family is going through.

:(
I can't imagine...

I wish your sister some peace :hug:

[crim son]

13. It is painful just to read your post.

I am so very sorry. Ambiguous loss is indeed the worst, and loss of a child... I can't even imagine.

[redqueen]

14. I'm so sorry...

My prayers go out to you and your family... and to all those with missing loved ones.

Bless you for posting this. :pals:

[idgiehkt]

15. I am so sorry.

:hug:

[rhiannon55]

16. Thanks to everyone

Thanks for all your love and concern. And thanks for forwarding this information anywhere you think it might do some good.

My sister Marianne thanks you, too. You guys are the best!

:hug: :grouphug: :hug:

[Haole Girl]

17. Did they ever try to contact America's Most Wanted?

Just an idea (though, probably a long shot). I'll pray and hope they turn up some info on her soon. You are right about it being the worst...the not knowing...John Walsh talks about it all the time.

Hugs for you and your family...:hug: :grouphug: :hug:

[rhiannon55]

24. Marianne has been trying to get John Walsh's attention

for a long time, but hasn't been successful. She WAS on the Montel Williams show about a year ago, but nothing came of it.

[lildreamer316]

28. Well, hell. Why not DU it??

Screw it, we'll make it a Lounge Project. Put up the email and everyone in the lounge can flood America's Most Wanted /John Walsh with emails.
Yes/No?
Crazy?

[Haole Girl]

30. Sounds good...let me know what date and I'll help kick it...ok?

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. Sending all my hopes

and hugs... :hug::hug::hug:

I hope you learn something soon. She has such a sweet face... :cry:

[mad-mommy]

19. sorry....

It is kind and thoughtful of you to honor her, your sister, and people in the same situation.

[Quantess]

20. This is so very sad.

In your words, she's not a rich, blond, cheerleader, but I think she's super cute. I'm not a religious person, so I'll just think a positive thought for her. :grouphug:

[Vidar]

21. I'm very sorry.

[donheld]

22. I wish I knew what to say

I'm sure you all must be very devastated :hug:

[Zorra]

23. Just found out today that my missing brother died 4 1/2 years ago.

Still don't have any details. I've been a total mess all day.

Gotta get some sleep.

[rhiannon55]

25. Oh, I am so sorry

damn damn damn :cry: :hug:

[flamingyouth]

32. I'm so sorry, Zorra

That's terrible. :hug:

[Rowdyboy]

27. There aren't any words....Just let your sister know that people care....

Your heart must break daily. I can't imagine the pain.

[1gobluedem]

29. I am so very sorry

My best childhood friend has been missing and presumed dead for sixteen years. I understand the agony your sister is living. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Paige and what could have happened to her. It'll be seventeen years in May and the feeling never goes away completely.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today.

[BarenakedLady]

31. I'm so sorry

How incredibly sad.

:hug:

34. Welcome to DU.

I'm so sorry for what you and your family have been through...and continue to go through.
I pray for the day when she is returned to you. :hug: :grouphug:

[rhiannon55]

36. Hi mariannesong

my bestest bestest sister/friend. Welcome to DU. Isn't this a great place? I've been posting here for several months and have discovered a lovely community of smart funny caring people. And there are so many of them (of us!) all over the country and abroad. You can show Angie's picture to a lot of people this way and increase the odds of finding her. And, you can make some cool new friends and help take our country back from those evil people. I'm so glad you're here.

:loveya: Rhiannon

P.S. Your post made me cry. You are the strongest person I know. :hug:

[Downtown Hound]

35. Oh man, how awful

I'm so sorry. Here's to hoping that there is closure to this one day.

[pinto]

37. Kick. Hope you get some answers rhiannon55. Not knowing must be

hard for you all.

[struggle4progress]

38. Ow! I'm so sorry.

I hope someday this has a happier ending ...

[Lydia Leftcoast]

39. How awful not to know

May you get the answers you're looking for soon.

:hug:

40. You mentioned Montel

did he put you in contact with Sylvia Browne?
