A more detailed picture emerges in the Nolan case
One seriously has to wonder why discussing one’s past and trying to possibly tarnish a missing person past has anything to do with finding them. If a person is troubled or has gone through traumatic experiences, is that supposed to make them any less worthy to be found? Kelly Nolan is missing PERIOD!!! She needs to be found.

Still, not surprised at all.
Although this is still sad, it is the norm.

I realize things may be different in Canada than in the USA but why is there such a dearth of news items on the investigation?
There were reports of a waiter at Amy’s Cafe assisting her homeward when he encountered a man who claimed to be a friend of hers. There were also reports of her having been fired for insufficient waitressing experience just prior to a music festival at the bar. Yet now it seems there is a total news blackout.

IF the Amys Cafe story is true, why haven’t the police released a composite sketch of this mysterious killer?
Comment by DAS | July 26, 2007
Composite sketch?? My understanding is that not only was the waiter unable to offer the slightest description of the man to whom he turned over the tipsy patron but that the police wish to proceed on the more reliable forensic evidence rather than field a host of spurious tips sure to follow any sketch publicity.
