Where are you?

I don't know you. You didn't exist to me until I saw you on the news one day, listed as mising. Our lives never crossed paths until you were believed to be in danger, and your plight was broadcast across the wire. I keep hearing your name and reading of you in the headlines and wondering, "Where are you?" Somebody's child is out there, somewhere, where no one can find her, and we all stand here - friends, family, strangers - wondering, Where is she? This morning at work a fax came in with your pictures - you were listed as missing in this area. "Have you seen me?" No. Nobody has. Or somebody has but isn't saying. I don't think anyone else thinks you left of your own free will, but if you did, just let someone know you're okay. Not on this website. Call your Mother. Send her an email from an account that only you can get into (not some all-access public forum posting like this). And if it is true, that you were taken against your will, then God help you return, and damn to hell the person who took you.
Taylor, i didnt know who you were before i heard you were missing. It sickens me to see what some of these people are saying, especially the one that posed as you. You and your family are in my prayers, we all hope you come home safe.

about a week after taylor went missing, the immediate attention of the media went not to helping finding her but to describing the lifestyle she led, alledged 's and m' photos she took with the man they now have in custody as a 'person of interest'. regardless of how she lived her life (we all aren't saints) our media decided instead to focus on how this missing girl led her life and what potentially led to her kidnapping, all because she is an attractive girl to begin with. i never knew taylor, but i've seen enough of the media taking this story and destroying the reputation of a girl just beginning her life. i think about this everyday, everyday i walk by the same poster in sanger hall with her picture and the same 'missing' scrolled at the top. my heart has truly gone out for someone i have never known in my whole life and if there is a God, please lead her home, or at the very least, put her parent's minds at ease.
