Karissa Boudreau

This girl has been on my mind for 2 weeks now non-stop. This little 12 year old girl went missing January 27th from the Sobeys parking lot in Bridgewater. Her mother went into the store for 15 minutes, and when she came back, Karissa was gone.

This story breaks my heart, and my imagination tends to run away with me really bad with this. Not a day goes by without me checking online newspapers, and the facebook group to see if anything's been found.

I have my ideas of what's happened. Many people seem to too. Some think someone took her. Some think that she left (angry at her mom because they had just had a fight) and someone took her. Some think she tried to cross the LaHave river to get to her house, which was just on the other side of the river.

Yesterday, I think everyone's hearts stopped beating for a while when we heard the news that a body of a young, Caucasian girl had been found on the bank of the LaHave river by a passer-by-er. The police have yet to say if the body is that of Karissa's or not, and we wont really know until Wednesday. The body was too far up the bank to have been washed up, and I've been told other things (that haven't been confirmed) that also make me, and others, believe/know that she hadn't been just washed up on shore - that she had been dumped there.

I pray that it's not Karissa Boudreau's body that's been discovered, but in a sense, it at least offers some closure to the family. I know everyone who knows about the case hopes that Karissa shows up safe and sound really soon, but something deep inside me tells me that wont happen.

I'm not saying that I know anything, because I dont. I'm just saying what my guy seems to be telling me.

My weekend went by pretty good. Nothing really interesting happened. It was mainly spent here at the Patten house.

Well, its getting late (yes, 9:45 is now 'late' for me) so I'm going to do a little reading, and then go to bed.

I'll update tomorrow afternoon. :)

Peace!
