"
This is to ask for the help of all Mumsnet members, most especially anyone who lives in the Haute Savoie departement.

One of our members, Carol Sheridan, is missing. She is a keen and intrepid hiker and explores the high mountains of the area. She is experienced and resourceful but neither her family nor many friends have had any communication with her since Saturday 27 October.

She may be lost or perhaps had an accident and be awaiting rescue.

She is 73, five foot five tall and drives a black Fiat Panda registration AZ522AP

If you have any information on Carol's whereabouts or the location of her car please contact French Police and her daughter Fiona Conyers [note from MNHQ, we've now removed the email address to respect the family's wish for privacy]

HQ are hoping to post the MISSING poster circulated by her family on here."

Here's hoping.

Candle lit.

Another one who has not posted until now but has been keeping Carol and her family in my thoughts. Sending hope to her family and keeping everything so tightly crossed that there is positive news soon.

Like many others, just checking in...

No updates - they will go straight to the family first with any news.

I suspect any update to the forums may be very delayed. As Granjura has mentioned on the update thread, they are giving no details in order to keep the wolves away.
Some of those wolves will be the very media that we needed to provoke in order to raise the profile and disseminate the info as widely as possible.
It is always a double edged sword.

Hope everyone out searching feels the positive ibex and goodwill being sent from MN

Vibes, not ibex!

What molding said x

I would like to feel a positive ibex....

yes, positive IBEX is very much needed here!

Carol, look, a new word has been invented just for you, so hold on, help is on the way!

Good grief, I don't want a wild mountain goat there. Auto correct at its best.

I'm hoping one of the searchers has a hunch, or gut instinct to look in a particular spot, and there Carol will be.

Hope today brings the good news we are all wishing for

Just popping by to see if anything new has been heard

I was thinking the same - about the gut feeling! (not the goat)

I so wish I could be there, doing something.
and if I feel like that, just how tortured her family and friends must be, trying to wait patiently.
my heart goes out to them!

apart from the search there's nothing else to do - or is there?

All we can do now is wait - I am sure those experts will find her. They are amazingly experienced & well trained & it is a matter of pride with them to find the person.

Zing, I don't think there is, but hoping someone is inspired by an idea, or to search somewhere specifically is no bad thing.

I hope the family are drawing some comfort in knowing perfect strangers are wishing for the best outcome and that today they hear good news.

From following these threads early on, you and others have worked hard to get the message out. Now, it is over to the search teams.

I did read that back to check for stray goats, or other auto corrects

Am hoping and hoping and hoping.

Love that rowrow's positive vibes auto-corrected to ibex!

An ibex is a tough wild mountain goat that lives above the snow line. Very fitting I think!

Cross post magi . Stay patient and stay strong a little longer.

I mean that as a compliment, if anyone's offended or think Carol's family might be then I'll ask for my post to be deleted.

I wouldn't worry, bluebird. I think most of us are hoping that she is indeed a tough cookie.

keeping an eye on the local French news:

Bluebird Carol has many times referred to herself as 'a tough old bird'.

She'd love to know that she has been elevated to an ibex!
