My Friend's Daughter Is Missing

by **Peartree12249** » Tue Nov 10, 2009 2:44 pm

Tonight my husband came home and told me that a good friend's adult daughter and mother of three children is missing. They recently rescued her from an abusive marriage and she has filed for divorce. She disappeared from their home on Saturday. She sent the kids to play in a nearby park and said she'd be there in a few min and never arrived. She doesn't have a car and left without taking anything including her purse. Her parents are frantic. In addition, she is suffering from depression and the emotional after affects of years of abuse at the hands of her husband so they are also afraid she may have harmed herself or had a mental breakdown. The police have brought blood hounds to the home in hopes of tracking her and are trying to access her e-mail to see if she may have had someone pick her up.

Please keep this family in your thoughts & prayers that they may see the safe return of their daughter.

Hey PT, she was obviously planning something sending the kids off without her. Is this on the newswires yet?

If she instigated her leaving, she probably would have taken her purse. Women don't ever leave without one as a norm. Prayers out to all concerned.

No not yet. It's supposed to hit the news tomorrow morning. We're hoping that she did plan to leave, but to just leave her kids alone in a park doesn't seem right either. Although no one is sure what her mental state may have been. Her parents were out of town and didn't find out about her being gone until Saturday night.

I pray, that she returns home safe to her children and family.

Just a thought, cause media coverage is key in situations like this. Has the family called "Nancy Grace"? Not everyone likes her, but there's no doubt she is a pitbull when it comes to getting the news out when someone is missing. If she were covered on that show, it might yield faster results. Just a suggestion.

by **Blueskies** » Wed Nov 11, 2009 2:37 am

The anxiety must be terrible for her family and for you as their friend. I hope they find her well soon.

I "buzzed" this up on Yahoo! but I don't how many people have to vote for it to get it on Yahoo!'s news page. ??? I don't see it on any major news sites.

by **Rhiannon** » Wed Nov 11, 2009 4:08 am

Peartree, I posted as much info as I could to my blogsite to help get the word out. And if it doesn't help finding her, she as well as everyone involved will have tenfold more prayers being sent your way.

Hoping for the best...

This may be positive news. As long she hasn't had a run in with bad elements or harmed herself.

Search continues for missing Mukwonago mother

By Mike Johnson / Nov. 10, 2009

A Town of Mukwonago woman missing since Saturday disappeared after asking her children what type of mother she has been, Police Chief Grant Turner said Tuesday.

Kathryn Cruz, 32, then sent her three children to a local park shortly before 11 a.m., told them she would meet them there, but never showed up, Turner said.

"So we are concerned about her mental state at this time," Turner said, adding that it's possible that she walked away.

The woman and her husband are going through a divorce, her family members said at a news conference at the Town of Mukwonago Town Hall.

Cruz has been stressed by the pending divorce because while she has custody of the children, their 3-year-old girl and 10- and 12-year-old boys have been living with their father, Adrian Cruz, so they could continue attending their school in Milwaukee County, Kathryn Cruz's mother, Pat Esposito said.

Grant said while there was no reason to suspect foul play in Kathyrn Cruz's disappearance that he also could not rule it out at this time.

Police searched her home and found the woman's keys, cell phone, wallet, purse and car there, Turner said.

The husband was at a birthday party on Saturday at the time Kathyrn Cruz disappeared, Turner said.

The father picked the children up on Saturday after they called him and told him their mother didn't meet them and that they could not reach her on her cell phone, Turner said.

A helicopter and search dogs were being used Tuesday to search areas south of her home at S86 W30494 Stonegate Drive in the Stonegate subdivision, Grant said. The area being searched includes woods and fields of corn that have not yet been harvested, he said.

Dogs searched an area north of the home on Monday but found no sign of Kathryn Cruz, he said.

Cruz is described as 5-feet-8 inches tall, weighing 135 pounds, with light brown hair and hazel eyes. She was last seen wearing a gray, hooded zip-up Abercrombie & Fitch sweat shirt.

Anyone with information about Cruz's whereabouts is asked to call the Town of Mukwonago Police Department, (262) 363-5188.

Could be a cry for help, not wanting to keep the kids. Not saying she doesn't love them, but she may not be ready to handle 3 kids on her own, and by going "missing" is a way for the dad to keep them. Not saying that is the case, but has happened to people in the past with two much pressure on them. Some can't handle it and go off for a time, not thinking clearly, and some choose on purpose to go off so that the kids will be takin from them. I do hope everything turns out good. I don't know your friend, but I have seen what divorce has done to people and families. I some cases it hurts worth than a death in the family.

Good point, hopefully its a case like the runaway bride. Maybe she boarded a greyhound to get away for awhile.
