Please Help Find Makenzie

Makenzie

I just found out today that Makenzie Williamson, the 17-year-old daughter of one of my co-workers,  went missing last week.  How Jolynne was even able to come in to office today is beyond me.  They are uncertain as to whether she ran away or was lured away.  She is a young woman looking forward to Homecoming and all the other things that teenage girls do and she needs to come home.

Please read Makenzie’s flyer.  It contains the details about her and the person she may be with.  Jolynne said that she may be in California and that this week is critical.  I know I have readers throughout the country.  I ask that you pray for safe return and keep an eye out for her.

If you do see her, please call (540)562-3265 and refer to NCIC Case # 09-060057.

Makenzie, your mother loves you and misses you so terribly.  She wants her to come home.  We all do.

    Oh Jennifer, this just sent chills through me. I don’t know how your co-worker is functioning either. She’ll be in my prayers.

      Oh no! I hope she is found, or at least gets in voluntary contact with her mom, very soon.

          Seeing that makes my stomach hurt. Any time something like this happens, as a parent, I always think “some mother’s heart is breaking”. Please please keep us updated. I will pray that she comes home.

                I am in Calif but I have heard nothing about this case. I will keep my eyes and ears open.

                  Is this on Amber alert–she’s only 17, I would think this would be more out there, but I didn’t see it when I checked. I hope they find her. So scary.

                    I can’t imagine what Makenzie’s family is going thru. I hope she does get in touch with them soon. Will you update us?
