Example:   [Collected via e-mail, February 2012]

This is a 16 year girl that was abducted yesterday at Hurrican High School in Hurricane WV. She is believed to be taken by Daniel A Uriguen from Jacksonville Florida. He is originally from Miami, Florida and has lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. It is believed he is taking her south in a newer green colored Honda Accord with Florida tags. Taylor has been missing for over 24 hours. We need as many eyes out there looking for her. It is believed she is no longer in the state of WV. We need to get this girl safely home to her mother. Please let as many people know. If anyone sees either of them contact your local authorities.
