I was born and raised in Connecticut and just recently moved to Michigan from there.

I worked for The Hartford Courant as a staff writer. I have a good friend who is an investigative reporter who lives in Litchfield County. I just e-mailed him at work and attached the link so he can get an idea of what's going on. He'll e-mail me back and let give me some suggestions.

The one thing I WOULD do is call all the tv stations. Ask for the newsroom and the assignment editor. There's nothing like publicity to get someone out of hiding. Even if they can post her picture on tv, somebody might know her, have seen her or know SOMETHING that'll crack this awful situation. Maybe even America's Most Wanted might want a crack at it.

I wish you alot of luck and I hope the pony is okay.

I'll keep you posted Rachel. Hang in there.

Hey Vermontcat, I didn't know you were from CT? What part? I was from Wethersfield, in between Hartford and Rocky Hill.
