24 year old Anu Solanki had been missing since Christmas Eve. Dignesh Solanki 
last saw his wife Monday when they both left for work. A call to a friend after she got off work was the last time anyone has heard from her. Her has been located Anu Solanki’s car in a forest preserve. Thus began the costly search for Anu Slolanki.
Cook County Forest Preserve police searched Tuesday for a missing northwest suburban woman and may ask a dive team to search the Des Plaines River Wednesday, a spokesman said.
Anu Solanki’s Honda Civic was found about 4 p.m. Monday in a forest preserve near Hintz Road and Milwaukee Avenue in Wheeling, Forest Preserve District spokesman Steve Mayberry said.
UPDATE I:Divers, copter search for missing northwest suburban woman
Divers were searching the Des Plaines River near Wheeling this morning as a Cook County sheriff’s helicopter combed the area for a northwest suburban woman whose abandoned car was found this week in a forest preserve.
Cook County Forest Preserve police are coordinating the river search and working with the Cook County sheriff’s police and the Wheeling police and fire departments.
The couple have been married for about seven months, Shah said. Solanki is originally from Virginia, and moved here after she wed. Several relatives drove overnight to arrive Christmas morning after hearing that she was missing.
Dignesh Solanki said his wife told him Sunday night that she was going to the forest preserve’s river to discard a broken religious statue. The Ganesh statue, which has an elephant head, was used in their marriage ceremony in New Jersey and was mailed to them recently, the husband said.
UPDATE II: Search For Missing Woman Concludes For Today
Most of the officers searched the six miles of shoreline on foot with two trained dogs. A third dog and police officers traveled up and down the river by boat.
Mayberry said that so far, there is no sign of Solanki or of her missing cell phone, purse and laptop computer. He refused to say whether police now consider this a recovery operation.
Sheriff’s detectives spoke again with several family members, including Solanki’s husband, Dignesh, at the Skokie courthouse.
The family is aiding the search by distributing fliers, and Mayberry said the conversations were held “only for the purposes of gathering information for the missing persons investigation.”
UPDATE III: Missing woman Anu Solanki is alive, authorities say
UPDATE VI: Illinois woman back after $250K search
It appears that we have a “runaway newlywed”. So much for just leaving your husband and getting a divorce. Instead pretend that you have gone missing and waste tax payers money and the police’s time.
CHICAGO - Family members arranged a meeting at an undisclosed location between investigators and a married woman from Illinois whose disappearance on Christmas Eve prompted a costly search.
Anu Solanki, 24, met with law enforcement officials at an undisclosed location Friday, said Cook County sheriff’s police spokesman Steve Mayberry.
UPDATE V: Missing woman who ran: I was unhappy in marriage
Anu Solanki, the 24-year-old newlywed who appeared to go missing this week, has told Cook County Sheriff’s police she instead ran off with another man because she was unhappy in her marriage.
She and her friend Karan C. Jani, 23, drove on Monday from a forest preserve near Wheeling to Jani’s Los Angeles apartment, said Bill Cunningham, chief of staff for Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.

When will these teenage girls ever learn? Conversations on the web are hardly ever what they are made out to be in real life. Such seems like the situation for 17 year old missing Amanda Mespelts of Boise, Idaho. Mespelts was last seen on February 15, 2007. It is feared that she ran off with someone that she met on the internet.
(Amanda Mespelts)
They say it began with a conversation the girl had with someone on the Internet.
There are more questions than answers as to Amanda’s whereabouts.
She was last seen around noon six days ago.
NewsChannel 7 talked with Amanda’s mom who says she’s pretty sure that wherever her daughter is — there’s sure to be a stranger she met online with her. (WKTB)
Amanda Mespelts apparently left early from school the day of Feb 15. with supposedly someone she met on the internet. Amanda failed to show for her usual ride home.
“Like we said, we know she’s been online. We know there’s an individual, possibly from Georgia, that is somebody they’re looking at, somebody from Horseshoe Bend that we’ve learned about, that the police are aware of,” said Emory.
Judging by the date that Amanda went missing, we can surmise how the conversation on-line went between Amanda and the person she ran off with. The Valentine connection is too much a coincidence to overlook as to why she ran off with someone who may have been feeding her a line to especially meet for Valentine’s Day.

Heather Greig, 17-year-old Cleveland High School student and star athlete is missing.
Heather Greig, a star athlete at Cleveland, who lives with her parents on S.E. 68th Avenue, disappeared after going to her first-period class and hasn’t been seen since, as far as her family knows. (The Bee)
Heather Grieg Myspace profile
Police believe that Heather Greig is a “runaway” and in no immediate danger. However, how many times have we heard that misdiagnosis in a missing persons case? According to her parents, Heather has never run away before and gave no indications.
That’s what makes it so frustrating for Heather’s family, who say she has no history of running away, gave no indication that she was unhappy or wanted to run away, and has no money, cell phone, or car.
“We haven’t heard a word from her,” said her mother, Shannon Greig. “We filed the missing person’s report that first night. … I just want her picture out there. Somebody’s got to have seen her.”
Greig said it’s tough to know for sure, but her daughter might have taken a bag with some clothes and her travel hairdryer with her when she left. But she has no idea where her daughter would go. They’ve posted fliers around the neighborhood, but can’t afford to offer any reward money.
If anyone has information, they are asked to call Heather’s family at 503/775-5272 or 503/774-1450, or e-mail: findheatherg@aol.com. Her parents have become frustrated with th lack of action from the police, as the case is deemed a runaway. If anyone has seen Heather, please let her family and authorities know.
