Hi. A missing woman was found deceased last night in the greater Chicago Area. She was a 31 year mother. This case is totally different from Holly's case but I want to note for our contemplation what the Detective just reported during the press conference that just took place.
He said that Facebook is proving to be very useful in Melissa's case. That is, the Facebook page that is setup after a person goes missing - the missing person's Facebook page. (Although I'm sure they looked into the history of M's personal FB page too.) He said that alot of friends came forward with alot of helpful information regarding M's habits and what was going on in her life that may have contributed to her being missing.
They couldn't/didn't find M until last night. She was found in a Van that had been parked in a random apartment complex (not in her direct hometown) on
April 25. She had been missing since April 15. There wasn't a cell phone to
track. My main reason for bringing this here is to highlight how useful
Facebook is in filling in the details and building a scenario on what was going
on in her life. Still, noone knew exactly where she was until last night when
the Van was found. M had totally different circumstances than H but we can
hope that the tight lipped LE have gathered circumstantial info from friends
and FB history of H's that could lead to POI and possible scenarios for her
having been taken in the first place (unless, of course, H was randomly
kidnapped but that doesn't seem likely.)
