Anyone care to venture a name to profile for a future Select It Sunday?
And in other news, I’m good for Make-a-List Monday for a long time: up till February 23! That’s eight weeks!

This week’s featured missing person is Joshua Price Feebeck, a fifteen-year-old boy missing from Mount Vernon, Washington since July 7, 2007. It’s no mystery what happened to Josh: he was out on the river with a friend when their boat overturned and he presumably drowned.
He would have been 23 next year.
Thomas Jones, who (possibly together with his 13-year-old daughter) killed his niece in 1868.
This list is of MPs who were in the process of a divorce at the time they disappeared. I did not include people who were merely separated. I also did not include MPs who disappeared after declaring they were going to get a divorce, but hadn’t actually filed yet.
Selected by Sarah, this Sunday’s featured disappearance is Kelly Dae Wilson, who happens to share a birth date with my boyfriend. Kelly mysteriously disappeared from Gilmer, Texas on January 5, 1992, five months shy of her eighteenth birthday.
Eight people, including, bizarrely, the police officer investigating Kelly’s case, were ultimately charged with abducting, sexually abusing and murdering Kelly. Prosecutors at the time believed her presumed death was the result of satanic ritual abuse. But it turned out the “satanic cult” didn’t exist and all the charges against everyone were dropped two months after the indictment.
So if an evil satanic cult didn’t abduct Kelly, what happened to her? That remains a mystery.
Awhile back I stopped putting up a notice on the updates page if I added a new picture or pictures to a casefile, or updated an existing age-progression. There were just too many of those. I do still put up a notice if I add an AP to a case that didn’t previously have one. Three of my updates for today were new APs.
I also added a bunch of updated APs and new pics today. I thought I’d list them for your benefit.

This week’s Flashback Friday case is Ann Marie Burr, missing from Tacoma, Washington since August 31, 1961, when she was eight years old. She was apparently abducted in the night, either lured out of or just plain taken from her house. Whatever happened, happened without waking Ann’s younger sister who shared a room with her.
Ann’s case is quite famous because of its possible connection with Ted Bundy. He lived in the area and knew her, and in spite of his youth (he was only fourteen when she disappeared) many Bundy scholars believe she was his first victim. The “did he or didn’t he?” is a pretty big topic for debate among Bundy hobbyists.
I think it’s unlikely we’ll ever know what happened. But in the unlikely event that she is still alive, Ann Marie would be 62 today.
A list of MPs who used wheelchairs, either full- or part-time, whether or not they had said wheelchairs with them when they disappeared.
I’m taking off until Christmas. The reason being that I am going to my boyfriend’s family’s house tomorrow and will stay there until the 25th, and obviously I can’t bring Orville with me. (Well, I guess I could, but it would be far more trouble than it’s worth.) I’ll still have my cell phone though.
Last Christmas was very…um…difficult for me. Family problems. I’m hoping this one will be better. I have no particular gifts I want, only a conflict-free, or at least quiet, time. And for more missing people to come home this year.
Sorry about missing Flashback Friday; I was visiting my dad and didn’t get back till relatively late yesterday. Anyway, this week’s Select It Sunday case was chosen by Angie: Kevin Gerald Mahoney, missing from Fargo, North Dakota since October 2, 1993. He was 25. He left home to walk to his brother’s apartment south of Moorhead, Minnesota, but never arrived. Google Maps says Fargo and Moorhead are only 1.5 miles apart.
I don’t have much on Mr. Mahoney, other than that foul play is suspected in his disappearance. A search for recent news on his case (I haven’t updated his casefile since 2010) turned up nothing.
