My Friend Has Been Missing A Long Time Now

I knew her as Sarah when we worked together years ago. She was a very kind person and I liked her very much. I also knew her husband and they seemed to make a terrific couple. I remember that not long before she went missing I had the chance to go visit her, but I turned it down. I was too tired. I will always regret that decision. I never got to see her one last time. After she was reported missing, all our friends went out to scour the country side near where her car was seen on Bee Cave Road. But they found nothing. Eventually we had a memorial service on Mount Bonnell for her, but I didn't feel like there was any closure. We don't really know what happened to her. We all had our theories, but none of them panned out. I only hope that some day the mystery will be solved so that we can have some closure. All of us, especially her husband.

Her is the report on her:
