guppie01 0 #1 May 14, 2008 How long would you want your family and friends to search for you / wait to start the grieving process??? This family waited 3 years "Our family is happy that they are finally able to bring Lindsay home and that the family is finally restored. We have been waiting a long time for this and will now hold a church service for Lindsay with her friends and family. We are extremely grateful for everything everyone has done, and we are happy to bring her home and put her to rest." http://www.fox5vegas.com/news/16258785/detail.html I don't think I'd want my loved ones to linger that long - it seems a bit unsettling to me. Although there have been stories where the person does show up and is alive and healthy... difficult call. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

happythoughts 0 #3 May 14, 2008 QuoteFollowing her disappearance, Barron told FOX5 she worked as a dancer for three different entertainment services. That can be a job/lifestyle of the very transient. That is why serial killers target them. Easy to contact without witnesses, and then people just figure that they skipped town when they they go missing. A Tampa serial killer used that MO.

ACMESkydiver 0 #4 May 14, 2008 That's an intriguing question... I suppose it depends on the circumstances? Foul play is suspected, I'd want it sooner than later. If i'm lost in the woods or something, I'd kinda hope they keep searching for me for a lil' bit. If I had to throw out a number off the top of my head, I'd say 3-6 months. -And if I did show up later alive and well, well then it would be a happy thing, and at least people weren't dwelling on it the whole time. If someone just ended up missing but NO foul play was suspected (say house cleaned out, purse and car missing, just no details) then I'd hope they would just assume that I'm being a jerk and not telling them that I'm moving or something? I dunno... ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d_squared431 0 #5 May 14, 2008 Everyone needs some form of closer regardless of what it is. If i had a family member missing I wouldn't be able to grieve until i knew one way or another. I think it would be the same with my family if i went missing as well.TPM Sister#130ONTIG#1 I love vodka.I love vodka cause it rhymes with Tuaca~LisaH You having a clean thought is like billyvance having a clean post.iluvtofly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 226 #6 May 14, 2008 Couple of weekends - if the Atlanta crew, the Washington Crew, or the California Crew doesn't hear from me in three weekends (In a Row) - then you can pretty much just write me off. I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livendive 8 #7 May 14, 2008 Quote What a sad story. There's been a bunch of 'em lately. Between tornados in the south, the cyclone in Burma, and the earthquake in China, nature's definitely been taking her fair share, but the circumstances surrounding some recent individual deaths are incredibly poignant. This one and this one spring immediately to mind. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
