Any updates?
I was told that there is three girls missing
did anyone check social media for any clues?
Our thoughts and prayers are with the girls and their families…
If they left school early on their own, did they question classmates as to where they may have gone? New York? North Jersey? Boardwalk? Any classmates have a cellphone number to call for either or both girls???? Can cell provider triangulate the phones to get a location???
Was this between Marlin and Albert? Drove by a little bit ago and there were tons of cop cars there.
Heard they were found safe, Baruch Hashem! They should be grounded for a week, though.
@thestory, a little bit of sensitivity at this time would go a long way.
