    I know there is a special note for Prayers for children, but more than
    prayers are needed here.   
    
    I will give you the details in a nutshell:
    
    The daughter of a former Digital employee is missing.  At this point
    the case is being treated as a Missing Person, rather than an
    abduction, but as more time goes by, the "status" will change.  Really,
    it doesn't matter what the case is called, the point is she's missing.
    
    Name:            Kali Ann Poulton
    MIssing From:    East Rochester, NY
    Birth:           9/20/89
    Sex:             Female
    Height:          3'6"
    Weight:          40 lbs
    Hair:            Blonde (to just below her waist)
    Eyes:            Blue (BIG!)
    Race:            White
    ID Features:     Small mole on each side of her face (Dimple area)
    ID Info:         Child was last seen in GLeason Estates while riding a
                     pink and white big wheel.  She was wearing an orange
                     tank top, multi-colored shorts and white slip-on
                     sneakers.
    
    Other info:   Kali AND her bike are both missing.  There is no trace of
    her.  She was taken from within the apt complex where she lives with
    her Mom, and was playing outside with other children.  She was taken at
    approx 7pm on Monday, 5/23/94.
    
    Kali's Mother (former Digital employee Judy Gifford) and Kali's father,
    Dave Poulton, will be on American Journal Thursday evening, 5/26.  They
    will also be on America's Most Wanted this coming Saturday evening.
    
    Fliers are being mailed/faxed Nationally today or tomorrow.  The faxed
    copies are not coming out very clear, distorting Kali's picture.
    
    There are over 30,000 fliers out locally as of this afternoon. 
    
    Please, please, please, we need prayers.  I am usually a read-only
    noter here, entering only occaisonally when I'm looking for some hints
    for my two daughters.  But I know the closeness of this Parenting
    community.  I've read the comforting notes.   I've *felt* the genuine
    caring.  I've said alot of prayers along with you.
    
    Please help us.  I have access to fliers if anyone wants them.  I can
    mail them to you.   
    
    Please pray for Kali's safe return.  Please pray for strength for Judy
    and Dave.
    
    On behalf of Judy, Dave and Kali, thank you.

71.1THERE WITH YOUEMASS::RAGUCCIWed Jun 01 1994 01:116
    
    that is real tragic, I'M THERE with your prayers
    this may sound silly, but not to me, have you tried a real good
    Psychic? I would.... keep us informed

71.3Kali UpdateUNYEM::SANFORDJRespect yourself....Thu Jun 02 1994 19:2924
    Psychics have been called in, ones that have worked with the various
    police departments in the past.  Unfortunately, I can't tell you what
    they've said, because I don't know.  It wasn't something I wanted to
    ask Kali's mother about.
    
    And no, Kali has not been found.  There were all sorts of rumors going
    around yesterday stating that she had been found, and unfortunately
    the rumor got to the media who reported it as fact.  The rumor spread
    as far as New Hampshire.  So needless to say, there was a fresh batch
    of tears shed and spirits crushed when the rumors were put to rest.
    
    So, there is no good news to report at this point in time.
    
    The reward has been capped at $30K.  The authorities don't want it to
    go any higher in case whomever has her has hopes of getting more money
    the longer she is held.
    
    I will continue to keep you all posted.  
    
    Thank you, again, for your support.

71.4Any update?SHIPS::OTTEN_PThu Jun 16 1994 13:504
    Has there been any update, I live in the UK so I would not hear
    anything on the news.

New Hampshire last week.

71.6UpdateUNYEM::SANFORDJRespect yourself....Fri Jun 24 1994 20:2013
    There are no updates to report.  It's been a month since she
    disappeared, but we all still very hopeful.
    
    There are over 1M fliers out to date, in the US and 8 countries.
    
    The hotline has received over 9,000 calls so far, and leads continue to
    come in daily.  I don't believe the police have anything solid to go by
    yet.
    
    Thanks again for your concern.  Keep your prayers coming.

71.7Still nothing?...MROA::MAHONEYFri Jul 08 1994 14:407
    No reports since June 24... we are on July 8th.  It is a long time
    without clues of "where" she can be...
    
    My heart goes to her family... they must be out of their minds with all
    this... I do pray for her safe return.  Please keep us posted.

71.10LA Times Cover StoryLABC::PENNEquestrian LadyMon Aug 01 1994 19:022
    Kali was the cover story for the Los Angeles Times Sunday, 7/31/94,
    edition.  They also ran a photo of her and her mother.
71.11UNYEM::SANFORDJRespect yourself....Wed Aug 03 1994 19:0311
    Judy Gifford, Kali's mother, will be on Good Morning America tomorrow. 
    Judy is out in San Francisco to watch a launch of a satellite that is
    going off tomorrow in Kali's name.
    
    Kali's father, unfortunately, attempted suicide two days ago.  He is
    expected to make a complete recovery.
    
    There are no updates on Kali's whereabouts, and the investigation is
    continuing.

71.12Need HelpNCMAIL::SANFORDJRespect yourself....Tue Aug 23 1994 17:5715
    We need some help in distributing fliers of Kali in countries outside
    of the U.S.
    
    If you are willing to distribute fliers in your community, please send
    me vaxmail.
    
    If you live within the U.S. and would like to do the same, please let
    me know.
    
    It's 3 months today.

71.13Hope is the last thing to lose...MROA::MAHONEYThu Sep 29 1994 13:0017
    Wouldn't it be much better to do that through official channels like
    the Interpol? (Multicountry police) 
    
    They certainly can reach any country within minutes with accurate
    information/fliers/whatever... though my gut feeling tells me she
    could be within the U.S. instead of a far away country... I think our
    police should be doing better... there are so many missing children
    that the matter is not treated with the urgency and tenacity it
    should be... or is it?  I don't know, there are just too many unsolved
    crimes to think that they are as effective as they think they are...
    
    There are so many broken families with split parents that the police at
    times is helpless at preventing the so called "child kidnapping" from
    one spouse to the other... that is not police's fault, but the society
    we, ourselves, have created... I truly hope that Kali will appear soon!

    So much time has passed.  Has Kali been found?  (sorry for not knowing)
    
    What a heartache.  
    
    Prayers and support...................
71.15statusUSCTR1::BAKSTRANFri Jan 06 1995 14:562
    anymore updates?
    
71.16NCMAIL::SANFORDJda me la manoMon Jan 16 1995 19:398
    There is nothing new to report on Kali.  She is still missing, though
    the good news is that leads from all across the US are still coming in. 
    All leads thus far have turned out to be bogus, but at least Kali is in
    the national spotlight and people ARE looking for her.
    
    Wish I had better news to report, but unfortunately, I do not.
