Missing

From our friends over at the Houston Chronicle:

    Woman abducted at gunpoint outside Pearland center
    Brazoria County authorities are looking for Susana De Jesus, who was abducted at gunpoint Monday night.

Well, this is especially horrifying to me because I used Google Maps to see exactly where this occurred and it turns out that the stores located in the shopping center she was abducted from are the ONLY ONES I FREQUENT.

Also, our subdivision practically adjoins this area. It’s a place that I've gone many, many times with my husband, my mother and sister, my friends and my little five-year-old goddaughter. Perhaps it was a false sense of safety, but I always felt perfectly secure here. Never once have I worried I'd have my purse snatched much less kidnapped at gunpoint.

That's not to say I'm going to stop supporting these shops, but it makes you think.

This lady still hasn't been found. Her car was recovered after she was grabbed, but they've not found her. As far as the press is telling, there are no suspects or motives for the kidnapping – just a random woman taken for no apparent reason.

So, Internet, I ask you and my four loyal readers, have you seen this woman?
