First thread was started by Trisagion on Wed 30-Oct-13 15:18:17

"
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."

We had a near miss incident some years ago and the newspapers were very pushy. I agreed to one interview with one news paper and every word I said was turned into something completely different and I was attributed phrases I had never uttered!

Unfortunately it is their job and they are very persistent.

Back to Carol and her family, I hope today is the last day of waiting.

CiderwithBuda · 06/11/2013 08:42

Really hope they find her today.

ParsingFancy · 06/11/2013 08:47

My thoughts are with Carol and her family, and all the searchers out today.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 06/11/2013 08:48

My heart is just in my boots right now. Please let there be news, any news for her family.

merlin · 06/11/2013 08:52

Thinking of Carol and her family. Praying for her to be found safe and well.

Weegiemum · 06/11/2013 08:57

Still hoping for a good outcome. Our candle burned outside in the lantern all night, I'm just going to replace it before I go to work.

thekitchenfairy · 06/11/2013 09:03

AnonYonimousBird · 06/11/2013 09:12

My swiss friends reported snowfall this week, after an unduly mild spell the previous ten days. I know it's not exactly where Carol is missing, but general weather patterns definitely turning in in the region...

Still hoping for news along with everyone.

motherinferior · 06/11/2013 09:33

Like so many of us, I keep checking this thread.

Bluebirdonmyshoulder · 06/11/2013 09:34
