12/11/05 Sundays of Hope--A Sighting
The family of this week's Sunday of Hope featured missing person, has much reason to be hopeful. They just received word that there was a positive (hopeful) sighting of their missing loved one, William "Mike" Hogan, in the Rutland, VT area. They ask us to please be on the lookout for him and call the VT State Police immediately at 802-773-9101 if you see him. Here is the information as given by the family:
"Friday, December 9, 2005
Thanks to all of you who have forwarded this website to your family, friends and colleagues. We have already gotten a tip that is hopeful. I received an email from someone who overheard a coversation in Coconuts, a music store in Rutland that Michael frequented. As a result of her message, we have discovered that someone who looks like Michael was in Coconuts on Friday December 2 around 7:45 PM and purchased a CD with cash. The person was described as confused and concerned about being in public. He refused to give a zip code. He looked disheveled. He was wearing jeans and a blue fleece jacket or vest. His face was thinner than his photos.A few days later there was a report of a person with the same overall description and clothing in the nearby Radio Shack.
Many people will be out and about during the Christmas shopping season. Please keep Michael in your mind and heart, especially if you are in the Rutland area. If you see anyone who looks like him please contact the Vermont State Police IMMEDIATELY. A prompt report is very important. Please forward this website to all your contacts, especially those in the Rutland area.
Thanks to all who have signed our guest book. We love hearing from you."
