I recently moved back to Texas from West Virginia (Clarksburg area). If you think of all the colleges/universities in the state, it could be possible they were college students. I am primarily speaking of the Asian woman. I was employed at one of the universities and the school is highly known for international students. I am wondering if it could possibly be a college student. With international students you have so many issues--INS, deportation, the school must document everything (not sure how well documentations are done at this school), etc. I know from working at this school that the Greenbrier area was a huge attraction for the students (all races/cultures).
And, yes, you may think, wouldn't the school or classmates report her missing? You would think so, but if you knew of a school that was being fined for violations of the Cleary Act (not sure of the full name), you may find it possible for a scenario such as this. I am not sure of the dates, I will look it up in a while, but if I remember, the time of disappearance may be around the same time the school was found in violation. I also believe there was an issue of some international students obtaining their I20 forms to attend school, and they never showed up. I do not believe they were reported.
Anyone from West Virginia can most likely figure out which school I speak of; I just don't want to type the name of the school. I know this sounds like bashing of my former place of employment, but I thought the information would be relevant for this situation or at any other school.
I also say any other school, because if you live or even drive through West Virginia you cannot help but notice the amount of colleges/universities the state houses. When I first moved there, I thought it was amazing, it seemed to be a college/university at almost every exit. And with that, knowing West Viriginia's economy and employment rate is not the best in the states, you would think with all the education avenues available, the employment rate and opportunities would be greater.
Don't get me wrong and please don't take offense, I loved living there but I just found that to be interesting. I just assumed that people would attend college and then move off. You also have a lot of out of state students who attend those schools and then move back home.
Maybe someone can look into this.
