I remember reading about missing 28yo mother of two in the Pacific Northwest - turns out it was a week ago today exactly.
Here is that diary. Well, I was putzzing tonight, really, just winding down for the night, but I stumbled across this story in the NY Daily News which pretty much all but confirms that it's the missing mom, Jennifer Huston, caught here on surveillance cameras at a convenience store in the San Juan Islands, close to the Washington/Canada border.
I'm not exactly sure what to make of it all, and I figure that the original diarist must be aware of the circumstance by now, but I've emailed a link to this diary to Arthur anyway just to be sure.
More than anything, it just proved to me, I guess, the power of getting the "word out". I never would have thought that I would stumble across a potential clue like this in a million years.
Wishing all the best for both Arthur and his niece, as well as a speedy resolution to the situation - hoping for an optimal outcome for all involved.
