Tammy, I work for the State Police, the authorities should get involved with
any missing person no matter how long they've been missing. If someone told them different they are wrong. If she's 17 she is still a minor (well in DE anyway) and should have been immediately entered into the FBI's computer system.
I'm keeping all Courtney in my prayers.
They live in Rhode Island.....
She didn;t make it to the 5oclock news till last night, but my mom said they started looking for her officially a week after she was gone....cause they considered her age...17..and the concert...even though she's a Christian girl who does not drink or do drugs...they didn't care/believe...Plus she had gone to live with her dad, and they waited the weekend cause they said she might've been off with her friends...
I HATE THAT STATE!!!
they do NOT care about the teenagers there!!
Thank you hon...I couldn;t stay online last night..between my daughters news and them my cousin...it was to much for me to take
Going across to my MIL's in a few for coffee, been up since 4:30, and Shawn's grandma and Aunts are up from Fl and leaving this morning.
Then going to come back and take an early nap, return movies, and be back online for the day.
Hugs!
adding an edit from our pm in case anyone else can get any info...
Her name is Courtney Palen (or Pallen...my cousins old married name) pronounced Paylen. She's 17. And not this past weekend, but the weekend before according to my mom was going with her friends to a concert of a group of grateful dead imitators...the cops assumed she took off with a bunch of groupies that follow the band, she was suppose to stay with the friends for the wekend...so no one worried till the weekend was over. Then that's what the cops said when they were called...that she probably went with the band like the groupies..it took a week for them to be convinced I guess that she's not that kind of kid,,,but I guess this "group" is suppose to be in Phili and Cal. So that's where they're focusing on.
Thank you!!
