--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    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.

    My prayers and my heart go out to that family. I can't even imagine how
    that must feel....it scares me to think of my own children missing.

    	Oh, Holly.... how sad....  this is one fear that I had with my
    	own daughter when she was in the 2nd grade and she had to walk to
    	school and home as well and she had to go by the not so well taken
    	care of parts of town too...
    
    	I know how *I'D* feel if this were to happen to her then OR now..
    	(5th floor of Worcester State for sure) so I can feel for these
    	people as well..
    
    	My prayers are with Kali's safe return...

Yeah, I've always worried about this as well. We've had two national incidents
in my (southbridge/sturbridge) area within the last year. one worked out, one
didn't. The Holly fund will be officially announced 8/5 (the anniversary of her
disappearance) to support families in their efforts.

My kids always wonder why we ream them out when they take off without letting us
know their plans...

218.4CHEFS::WARRENJIts a dangerous drug..Thu May 26 1994 13:018
    That's dreadful - a parent's nightmare. 
    
    Looking at the height, she must only be a young lass, my thoughts go
    out to the family.  
    
    Wishing for the safe return of Kali

	Another note to bring tears to my eyes...how dreadful for Kali and
	her family.  I'm praying for her quick, safe return to those she loves.

	This really is a sick society...stop the world, I want to get off.

218.9WRKSYS::REITHJim WRKSYS::Reith MLO1-2/c37 223-2021Thu May 26 1994 18:332
Our area is so sensitive about this subject, there's already posters up at
the post office and banks and minimarts...
218.10Update on KaliUNYEM::SANFORDJRespect yourself....Thu May 26 1994 19:0636
    As of this morning, there is still no sign of Kali, or her big-wheel. 
    There is now a $25K reward for information leading to Kali's safe
    return.  There is also an 800 number set up for anyone to call if they
    know anything, or have possibly seen her.
    
    The number is 1-800-810-KALI.
    
    I visited Kali's mother yesterday, and she is holding up remarkably
    well under the circumstances.  She is not giving up hope, yet added
    that it hasn't really hit her yet, because she's expecting Kali to be
    returned "any minute."
    
    She was an incredible amount of support from her family and friends and
    the community.
    
    I will repeat that Judy and Kali's father, Dave, are supposed to be on
    American Journal tonight, and America' Most Wanted this Saturday. 
    Current Affair will also be airing a segment, but I don't know when
    that is yet.
    
    There are over 400K posters out now.  The Adam Walsh Center distributed
    them nationally yesterday.
    
    To those that have asked for fliers, I put them in the mail yesterday.
    
    And thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers.  Please keep them
    coming.
    
    Again, on behalf of Judy and Dave, and Kali, thank you for your offers
    to help.
    
    Bless you all.

    	Please send me fliers! I will gladly put them out and make copies
    for my town and surrounding ones.
    
    	This kind of thing hits so close to home it frightens me. I'd like
    to get ahold off the animal(s) that took little Kali...there wouldn't
    be much left of them when I was done. Nothing sets my blood boiling
    like someone hurting an innocent child (and abducting them is hurting
    them in my book!).

    Please send my fliers to.  I will do what ever I can to help.
    
    I agree with -1, people that hurt innocent children are SICK.
    I TOO WOULD KILL THEM IF I EVER GOT A HOLD OF THEM.

    Serenity offers a prayer for Kali and her friends and family. When she
    goes home tonight ... she will light a white candle and dress it with
    protection oil.

    Please send the fliers to my home address and I will post them here in
    Colorado.....she might not come this way but i want to be of some
    help...
    
    As for those people that abducted her, they had better pray that they
    never cross this guy's path because I think death would be too easy for
    them!!!!

    Just read this in ::HUMAN_RELATIONS  
    All my prayers are for Kali and her family...
    Please let her be ok...please let her come home safe and healthy. 
    This is such a sick world we live in...where little children, the
    most vulnerable of us all can be abducted just like that...nobody
    sees it happening...nobody pays attention...and a little girl
    vanishes without a trace...

    	I've given copies of the poster for Kali to a friend at the
    registry in Worcester MA (she'll get them out to the cops she works
    with too!), to Anna Maria College and to a local business. More will be
    going to out as time allows....
    
    	My prayers for her safe return...

    all over for her, but I haven't heard anything to date?  Has anyone
    else?

218.20AYRPLN::VENTURAEcstasy beyond purrs...Wed Jun 22 1994 17:318
    I don't think that there is any news yet.  I recently saw her story on
    "America's Most Wanted".  What a beautiful little girl!  There are some
    real sickies out in the world.  Hopefully she's not harmed at all, and
    some sickie kidnapped her just because she's so beautiful and wanted a
    little girl.  Crazy people!

218.21The Latest on KaliUNYEM::SANFORDJRespect yourself....Fri Jun 24 1994 21:0834
    I'm sorry for not getting in here to let you all know.  It's been a
    little nuts.
    
    There is no update on Kali.  It was a month yesterday since she's been
    missing.  
    
    We are all still very hopeful.  Kali's mother has been in contact with
    Polly Klass (sp?) father.  He flew out here to meet with Judy.  He was
    very, very supportive.  He encouraged Judy to break her silence and
    talk to the media.  This is something Judy wasn't ready to do because 
    she felt the more she talked about her daughter, the more she was
    giving her up.  But she's been in the news more and more and it's
    turned out to be very therapeutic for her.
    
     We are in the process of setting up a Kali Poulton Foundation to
    assist the Adam Walsh Center in getting Kali's picture out more
    nationally.  We are aiming to hit every hotel/motel, gas station,
    convenience store, etc in the US, Canada and Mexico.  Over 1M fliers
    have been distributed in the US and 8 other countries.
    
    Over 9000 "tips" have been called in, but there are still no strong
    leads.  The calls are still coming in on a daily basis.
    
    And you're right, she is a very, very beautiful little girl, which is
    to her disadvantage.  And there are alot of sick people out there.  
    
    Again, I'm sorry for not putting in an update.  If you need to reach
    me, you can reach me via A1 (JEANNE SANFORD @RCO) or the above vaxmail
    address.
    
    Thank you all for your concern and prayers.

    U.S.
    
    If you are willing to help distribute fliers in your community, please

    Can anyone reply with an update on this sad case ?
    
    
218.27UpdateNCMAIL::SANFORDJRespect yourself....Wed Oct 12 1994 23:5418
    There is no update to report.  Kali is still missing.  Her mother is
    working with a psychic who is connected to the show America's Most
    Wanted.  The psychic feels Kali is alive, not being harmed, but is very
    angry.
    
    Judy, Kali's mother, remembered Kali's birthday a few weeks back by
    planting a tree on the grounds of the hospital where Kali was born. 
    That was tough, to say the least.
    
    There are no new leads coming in, however, the detectives are still
    actively working on the case.
    
    I wish I had better news to report, but unfortunately, I do not.
    
    Thank you for asking, and keeping Kali and her family in your thoughts
    and prayers.
