My sister, Shelby Dawn Gosling, has not been seen since saturday
evening.  She lives in calgary, but was up in edmonton visiting some
friends and me.  I walked her to the bus stop to go back to her friend's
place saturday evening, and neither I nor our mother has heard from her
since.  We are also worried about her cat, who she had left in the apt.
while she was up visiting.  She said she was going to hitchhike back to
calgary on sunday or take the bus on monday because our mother put money
in the bank for her to catch a bus.  She also has rent that she was
going to pay when she got home.  Our mother called a friend of shelby's
in calgary and had her stop by shelby's apt. yesterday.  She's not home.
 Friend is attempting to get hold of the super and pick up the cat, Toby.

What worries me the most is that edmonton has a serial killer on the
loose who kills young women, usually prostitutes, but still.  Besides
that, edmonton is apparently the murder capital of canada, we've had
over thirty murders here just since the new year began.

Stupid question, but did anyone call the police in both places?  Saturday to
Wednesday is a long time for a young woman to go missing.  Did she have a
cell phone?  Were there other friends she might have decided to visit
without notice?  How old is she?  Announcing she had plans to hitchhike
would have caused me to have apoplexy on the spot.

Anyway, purrs on the way for your sister and you and your mom for your
worries and for Toby the cat, too.

I've called once, yesterday.  They told me to have someone check her
apartment.  I don't live there, so our mother called one of my sister's
friends and had her check.  She is not there.  Friend is supposed to be
getting the super's number for my mother to call.  If super hasn't heard
from her, then we're calling the police again.  RE other places to
visit:  i really don't know, i just know she was already worried about
her cat being alone, so i can't see her deciding not to go home.  As for
the hitching.. i used to do it myself and survived fine, but these days,
and out here, it worries the hell out of me too.  She will be twenty in
july.  She has two cellphones, neither of which she is answering and the
voicemail is full on at least one of them.

Besides calling the police, put ads on the radio and TV.  Most have a
public service policy and should not charge for it.   Like for lost pets,
perhaps putting out some fliers might help.  Even if it's overkill,
better safe than sorry.  Purrs for her safety.   MLB

I'll tell you a tale which I didn't hear about until I was 30 years old.
This happened when I was about 15, back in the 1970's.  I have two older
brothers.  We'd previously lived in South Carolina and my oldest brother,
middle brother and a friend of theirs (Gary) decided it would be "cool" to
hitchhike back to SC for a weekend and hang out.  They caught a ride with a
couple of guys who took them to Savannah, Georgia.  They were having a big
time, drinking beer, smoking pot, having fun.  They let my brothers and his
friends out in Savannah and continued on their merry way.  Unbeknownst to
them, Gary's wallet fell out of his pocket on the back seat of the car.

Shortly after that, these guys were pulled over.  The car was stolen; there
was an all points bulletin out for them for having shot and killed the owner
of the car and his wife before stealing it.  Gary's wallet was found in the
back seat and there was no trace of him or my brothers.  Everyone presumed
they had killed them, too.  I didn't know at the time but my parents and
Gary's were in frantic communication together and with the police, even
though my brothers were 18 and 21.

Doesn't matter how old you are.  Do NOT hitchhike.  Even "back in the day"
it was not an okay thing to do.

Yeah, no doubt.  Not too long ago, and when I was older than twenty
and ought to have known better, I told my parents I would visit them
on my way home from visiting a friend.  (The friend lived about 10
hours away from me; my parents about 7.)  Well, I didn't get onto the
road till about 10pm, and I hadn't charged my cell phone, and I didn't
get to the house till 4am.  Naturally, my parents had called the
highway patrol, couldn't sleep, etc. and I (deservingly) felt like a
complete jerk.  I only got a few hours of sleep, spent the morning
feeling like crap from lack of sleep, and then had to drive home.  It
was completely awful.

When I think of all the torment I've inflicted on my parents ...
there's just no way to make up for it.

Glad for the good news.  What about the cat?  I'm quite concerned if the poor
kitty was left alone for a non-trivial length of time.

was happy to see her when she got home.

Purrs that your sister is safe, but surely she would have got home to Toby
if she possibly could have, and a serial killer on the loose sounds really
frightening, I hope the police have all the facts by now.   Jean.P.
