No, it has been on the news the past few nights and the cops have a few people that they are interested in.
sad though....guess I have to make sure that my daughter gets it into her head to be careful no matter what.
In the original story, the reporter alluded to the fact that authorities haven't determined whether she was abducted or, quite possibly, that she left on her own. This was due, in part, I believe, by the statements of the last person to see her, apparently her roommate who said that Taylor accidently walked in on the roommate as she was "entertaining" a boyfriend. Embarrassed, she excused herself, closed the door and disappeared.
Since the original broadcast of the story, I have not heard any reference to the roommate, only the girl's mother saying how she gave her $40 before she went back to school that evening and that the daughter called when she returned to school saying that she returned safely.
I love Richmond. I love Virginia. It is where my soul is. But it is not the Richmond I remember as a child. My mother could put me on the bus and I would meet my grandmother under the clock.
Sadly, Richmond is like every other city. If she was not oriented to where she was, if she did not know her way around town, if she did not know what areas to avoid, it can be a dangerous place.
I shudder to think what would be possible had she gone for a ride and ended up in one of several areas late at night. I hope to God she is a runaway.
That being said, I would move back in a minute. I left a part of me there when we moved away. I love Georgia, but Virginia is where I belong.
