    May God bless you and yours Michelle. Remember, in all things we should pray that God’s will be done. Sometimes what seems to be bad at the moment, can harvest many great things in the future. Who knows how many can be saved from evil by the attention drawn to this incident. I hope for the best, pray that you maintain, and ask that God’s will be done.

    Is that just a disposable cup from the Safeway cafe or Starbucks or whatnot, or is that a reusable cup of hers? Hard to tell. I know it’s a minor detail and there could be gazillions of identical cups out there, but I just thought I’d ask.

    I’ve cried 2x in my adult life, and those times were in celebration of new life, but every morning when I open up my web browser and come to this blog, it brings tears to my eyes when I don’t see good news about Marizela. I’m still praying for her and your family Michelle. God will bring her home to you, I’m sure of it.

    @michellemalkin I am helping organize a search party 4 #marizela in the Univ District tmrw. If you’re in Seattle & can help, pls let me know.
    45 minutes ago

    How about a “prayer party” for those of us who can’t go? There should be 100+ prayers for each foot on the ground in Seattle.

    Lord God, grant Michelle and her family success today.
    Lead someone in this group to Marizela.
    Bring her home Lord. Please bring her home.
    In Jesus name.

    Repeat it all day. Or just say “Bring her home” 100 times or more. God knows what it means.

    Be there in prayer. You in?

    She’s headed north on Brooklyn in the top photo. I wonder why. It’s away from the University and into residential areas that seemingly would have less interest for a 20-something than going south toward the U. Michelle, keep that in mind as you search – favorite haunt that way?

    But? How about “but” this is not the forum to entertain grim thoughts nor to inflict them upon our gracious host who is still “refusing to mourn”.

    If you can’t offer hope or help, please, find someplace else for your understandably grim but inappropriate in this venue thoughts.

    One would assume all these “gentlemen” would be questioned as to their whereabouts, yet I’m beginning to wonder. Why did it take five days to get these critically important surveilance photos published. They knew she was at Safeway day one from her debit transactions.

    Damn I wish I were in Seattle. I’d be visiting every miscreant on this list.

    I’ll take it this way:

    1) Bull Sh*t – “An astounding 2,300 Americans are reported missing every day, including both adults and children.

    But only a tiny fraction of those are stereotypical abductions or kidnappings by a stranger.”

    2) Even if true (WHICH IT IS NOT), what an astoundingly inappropriate and insensitive thing to post.

    For the first time in my adult life I’m sorry I don’t live in (liberal) Seattle and can’t help in an active way by getting on the street and searching for her.

    Since I’m an atheist (a very conservative Ayn Rand-type), I can’t offer prayers though I wish I could to help you, but I can offer you my sincere hope she will be found safe and quickly. If there is some other way someone like me in Kansas can actively help (I care for my disabled brother), please let me know.

    Because it’s such a small percentage, my guess is that police don’t have the resources to exhaustively search. Some cities have rules about how many days someone must be missing before the police search. It’s maddening for relatives.
    Hang in there Michelle.

    Was on the road most of the day; couldn’t wait to get back to Michelle’s site to check for any updates.

    Still fasting, praying, and believing there will be a victorious answer.

    I randomly opened my Gideon Bible in my motel room and was in I Samuel chapter 30. David’s two wives + other Israelite women and children were kidnapped by the Amalekites. With God’s word to pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all, David rescued all that had been carried away.

    Dear Lord, Thank you for this word to me. Let the pursuers without fail rescue what had been carried away.
