OUTDATED


Example:   [Collected via e-mail, April 2011]


Casey Nicole Mueller went missing on Monday, April 11, 2011. The last time I spoke to her was at 6:30 am that morning. her Facebook profile is here https://www.facebook.com/profile.asp?id=1679049161 It is assumed that she
is with her boyfriend Kris Rosche but their whereabouts are completely unknown. his Facebook profile is here https://www.facebook.com/profile.asp?id=662763513

Casey, 16 years old, was last seen in a light green, 2006 Ford Focus 4 door Wisconsin License plate 842 KDV. (This is her vehicle) Kris, 17 years old, is from the Fond du Lac area and this is where Casey made her last phone call from her cell phone. They could be anywhere though. If you have any information at all, even if you think it is insignificant, please call me at 920-979-0621 or message me on facebook at Angella Hill Mueller Invite as many guests as you can. Thank you so much for your help.

*if you actually spot the kids or their car, it is appropriate to call 911. Casey is about 5'6" and average/thin build she has a distingishable scar on the back of her left hand . Kris is taller and average/slim build. Some information to stop the endless stream of people posting the same questions over and over and over and over....

1) The police have been contacted and are involved. 2) Amber Alerts are not issued unless you can prove someones life is in danger. 3) We are not able to track Casey's phone by her GPS at the very least this would
involve an app that needs to be downloaded by the phone, at the most a court order. **UPDATE** We are aware of all avenues of cell phone locating... thank you for your help. 4) A Facebook event is just one of the many things we are trying. By no means is this the only thing we are doing. All we are asking here is that you keep a look out for Kris and Casey and the Ford Focus they are most likely driving.
