   Michelle, you and your family have not left our prayers. I know it’s hard to view what we see as tragedy, setback or disappointment as gifts from God. But if our Creator is the source of all things, all things come from God and we must look at all things as gifts. Our understanding of “good or “bad can not comprehend the infinite. His reasons surpass our understanding. May His love be with you and yours.

   I hope that you can find some answers so you will at least know what happened. The agony of just not knowing can eat a person alive. My own experience with the disappearance of a loved one did not last nearly so long, but it seemed to go on forever. The search for my beloved friend did not have a happy ending. I hope your search does.

    Wherever Marizela is right now, I believe God is right there with her. We take comfort in that belief. I know a tiny bit of the panic and fear involved in a missing loved one, as my little girl was missing for a couple hours once. To have that uncertainty continue for months is unimaginable to me. I pray every day for Marizela and the whole family and will continue to do so until she is found.

    I read recently that the Feds were on the attack for Google, as they are for business in general.

    Google is guilty of being in bed with this current admin. They are guilty of scrubbing and hiding things.

    For this reason and for their unwillingness to try and help out in cases like Marizela’s, for once I hope this corrupt government sucks the lifeblood out of Google.

    It’s called “Sleeping With the Devil”.

    Marizela’s Google web history was not included. The Seattle Police Department will not disclose the actual Google records to her parents so that they could pursue the search for Marizela on their own.

    This is an example of bureaucracy run amok, the trouble with following the rules to the letter instead of using simple common sense might have made a difference to a family desperately searching for a missing loved one. As if the anguish of not knowing where your loved one is, is not enough, the hurdles an ordinary citizen must leap, just for the records which you know are at the touch of a keyboard, must make that anguish that much harder to bear. Prayers go out to your family and you, the heartbreak must be unbearable.

    Why? I mean, after 4 months can we dispense w/ all the formality, roll our sleeves up and get this done? It’s not just her parent’s that are being denied justice here. It’s all of MM’s loyal readers, eyes & ears in all 50 States!

    You’d think LE would be delighted to have such a resource at their avail? No one “just disappears”. Certainly not into thin air.

    Can they not get a judge to force the release of those records? I bet that, combined with some FBI targeted assistance could go a long way. Find and ask an ex-NSA tech for advice.

    After months of pressing, we finally received a search warrant two weeks ago related to the case.

    Grinding progress is still progress, I suppose. One can only hope that the information revealed will provide the spark necessary to break this loose.

    Appreciate your keeping us informed, Michelle. Hoping for the best.

    I am sure that the Seattle Police Department feels that Marizela’s right to privacy is greater than her family’s right to find and rescue her.

    In other words, political correctness trumps common sense.

    This is heartbreaking, Michelle – please know your longtime followers have you and yours in out hearts, minds and prayers.

    And, geez, all of the web related info should be released to you & the rest of Marizela’s family. Not to short-sell the local LE, but frankly you and other concerned web-savvy folks just have more experience in what might mean something in that area.

    Know, too, that God keeps Marizela, you and your family in loving His hands.

    Is it Google that is blocking the progress citing some kind of privacy issue? Do the Dectectives have the google history? This makes no sense.

    There are ways around this I suppose. A well meaning Detective can take a “bathroom break” while inadvertantly leaving the google records file on the desk.

    It seems to me that police need the publics help in solving almost every investigation. Family memebrs may have additional info based on what the Detective knows. Police often do not have the resources to track down every lead. They could use the families help in gathering information that they really don’t have time for.

    This situation seems like the police and public/family are fighting each other instead of working in cooperation. Why would that be? Are there political considerations here? Did a Policeman become offended somehow and now won’t share information out of spite?

    Is Google standing on some principle here that precludes the solving of a police investigation? We should all know that what we “google” is not really private. Never has been. I guess thats like when they tell you that criminal activity before the age of 16 is “sealed”. Unless, of course, some one wants to see it.

    The longer they wait, the colder the trail becomes. Its irresponsible for Google or the Police to have stonewalled this long. I would keep pushing them. Maybe they need a swift kick along with the push. At least some “suggestions” about how to get google records out there without violating any laws.

    Wherever Marizela is right now, I believe God is right there with her. We take comfort in that belief. I know a tiny bit of the panic and fear involved in a missing loved one, as my little girl was missing for a couple hours once.

    I felt that feeling for 5-10 minutes once. It felt like hours. My son had deliberately left us to go look at something in a LARGE store. Turned my head and he was gone. Praying, talking to store security, thinking at lightspeed, running through the aisles, thinking thoughts of John Walsh… the relief on finding him was immeasurable.

    To have that uncertainty continue for months is unimaginable to me. I pray every day for Marizela and the whole family and will continue to do so until she is found.

    Amen and amen!

    And, I’m not going to share my personal opinion, because I’m too tired to deal with the vitriol I would receive by all the pseudo-conservatives who pretend to hate the nanny-state…

    However, in the wake of the Casey Anthony case, a Tulsa woman has started a petition drive for “Caylee’s Law” which would make it a felony not to report the disappearance of a child within 24 hours.
