Sarah Michelle Lunde

Thirteen year old Sarah Michelle Lunde of Ruskin, Florida has been missing since Sunday morning. I don't know how I missed this. No Amber Alert was issued, so the authories apparently have few clues as to how she came to be missing.

There are 24 registered sexual offenders in the area. Police have spoken to all of them and one is in custody on unrelated charges, and has the attention of the authorities.

From the Bay News 9 website:

Investigators are focusing on a three-square-mile area around Lunde's home. Anyone with information about Lunde's whereabouts is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200. Anyone who wants to volunteer in the search effort can call 813-247-0455.

For those who don't know Ruskin, it's a small, rural, bedroom community south of Tampa. Many of your tomatoes come from this area.

Let's hope and pray this has a better outcome than the recent case concerning Jessica Lunsford.
