The "Urban Legends and Folklore" site is the first place I go when I read things like this. I like to make sure before I send something out.
How many times has this girl been reported missing? The latest is an "Amber Alert" e-mail that's been going around. I thought she looked familiar and Urban Legends confirmed that, once again, it is a hoax.
I'm not saying stuff doesn't happen, I just like to check before I react.
