Hope fading for missing N.H. girl

WEST STEWARTS-TOWN, N.H. — Police picked through garbage and planned today to dive into local waters looking for clues into the disappearance of Celina Cass, the soft-spoken 11-year-old who vanished Monday night, as hope began to falter for unsettled townsfolk.

Meanwhile, the FBI yesterday offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to Cass’ discovery, on top of a $5,000 reward raised locally.

She's been gone almost a week at this point. Statistically the chances of her being found are slim - the best chance for finding someone is the first 24 hours, and odds drop off precipitously after that. Hopefully this will prove the exception to the rule, and with searchers and resources pouring in there's a fighting chance.

Good thoughts and prayers for this girl and her family in this difficult time.

That is all.

Prayers and Good Wishes, Please...

Mrs. Weerdbeard is going in for surgery today.

I've met Mrs. WB, and she's a really nice person. Even if I had never laid eyes on her, I'd know she's a saint just for putting up with Weerd - I spent 28 hours in a car with him from here to Charlotte and back and even that was pushing it... (I kid, I kid. Weerd is one of my favorite people).

Please, Dear G-d, watch out for Mrs. Weerdbeard and keep her safe in this time of need.

That is all.
