Please HELP! Missing Family Memeber!

12 years ago

UPDATE: We found her! http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4754068/

A terrible incident has fallen on my family. I just found out today that my 16 year old cousin Zoe Stehouwer has been missing since Wednesday, June 12th. It's believed that she went missing sometime in the evening, and has been in contact with a man she met online named Andrew (Drew) Williams, age 23. She was last seen at her grandmother's (my aunt's) house in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but could also be near the Detroit area… or anywhere.

I've posted some photos of her on PhotoBucket. If you could share them on Facebook and other social medias to get the word out, it'd be much appreciated. http://s300.photobucket.com/user/Ma.....t=3&page=1

There is also a Facebook page dedicated to her search: https://www.facebook.com/BringZoeHome

Also here is a news blurb about her: http://www.woodtv.com//dpp/news/loc.....g-teenage-girl

Please, please help in any way you can, even if you're not from the Michigan area. Nothing like this has happened to our family before and we're all terrified...

I'm over in Escanaba, Michigan. I know there's a Williams in the next town over, I doubt it's the same guy but I can check into it. Do you have any idea if he would be in the upper peninsula?

Not a clue. The details of this man are sketchy, however I do know that he is 23 years old.

I do live near Detroit myself, the off chance she did end up this far east in the state, I'll have to keep an eye out for news. But hopefully she didn't end up this far from home either.

Made a tumblr post: http://brietunes.tumblr.com/post/53.....missing-person

I hope you find her.

When I was little, I witnessed a kidnapping (or at least I'm sure it was since it seemed like it).
My family called Police for me when I told them.
I don't know who she was or if she was ever found.
I hope she was.
I still think about her.

I made a journal for you, forwarding this on. I don't have a large watcher base but all it takes it just one to repost to help get the word out. I hope she's found safe and sound, I can't even imagine what your family is going through, I'm so sorry you guys are experiencing this.

Aww Mav that sucks. I've got surgery tomorrow but I'll do anything I can when recovered

Mavuriku ~mavuriku

I want you to just take it easy. Having been there, the next couple of days are going to be rough, but the pain with gall surgery actually leaves more quickly than most. Let me tell you right now, (though I'm sure they've already given you the run thorugh) the air that they use to inflate your torso will make your arm(s) ache horribly. But truly, I was up and moving around the day after. If it helps, you can read the journal I wrote about it: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2602698/

Happy surgery, and thank you!

Did you have extreme nausea for yours? It's been 12 days for me and for the last few I actually been fainting and really disoriented.
Makes me wonder if this is more. :<

Mavuriku ~mavuriku

I did on and off. I also had to be very careful with what I was eating. Anything that was high in fat, good or bad fat, made my stomach go crazy. Thought it varies from person to person, you're going to have to be very aware of what you eat afterwards. Your gall bladder is responsible for measuring out how much bile to send from the live to your stomach to help you digest food. While you can get along without it, there's no more measuring system. So your live will be sending bile to your stomach all the time which means a higher acid content will be in your stomach. So long as you eat a little bit throughout the day, you should be fine, but skipping meals and fasting is not recommended. Chomping down a few Tums everyday helps too. = )

Its sad that stuff like this happens more often then you think. I was just 15 when i started meeting up with 24 year olds via internet. Its sad and today i regret it dearly. I hope for the best, that perhaps she ran away with him and not something else.
