-ShadowDancer- Have you considered calling the local police in her area? Or any of their neighbors?? I used to live in NJ... and most people would let their neighbors know when they were leaving town, so someone could watch the house. You can also call the Local chapter of the Red Cross - they may have a list of people they're housing during emergencies. AS a Last resort, you can call their local Police and put in a MISSING PERSONS Report. Collect as much person info on the missing person you can find from your friends and family, including names and phone numbers (if any) of any of their relatives.... so you can give them some means of locating the missing person.
