Please Help Find Allie Loftis
UPDATE – Nov 16, 2011 – Allie Loftis has been found and is safe. Thanks to everyone.
This blog post is something of a Public Service Announcement. The daughter of an old colleague of mine has been missing for the past week. Please, if you know people in NY, please help by spreading the word. The more eyes on the street, the more people who see this flyer, the more likely Allie will be found.
Allie’s parents have started a Facebook page.
And here is her page on the website of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
