Hi TelikoVenus, This link may help answer some of your question:

http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=624459 by Nagyzee

” Yeah, it’s me who left a feedback on the 22nd, not her. The last contact I had
with her with regards to her order was on 5th March. And I’ve just checked tracking
on the order again, and it indeed says that it was successfully delivered on
15th March. She didn’t change the order status nor did she reply to my mail sent
on 21st March though. “

Maybe this is silly, but her bricklink shows some feedback left on March, 6, 2012, March 12, 2012, & March, 22, 2012 with her as a buyer. Maybe I’m wrong, but isn’t feedback left quickly when you’re the buyer… So, maybe there’s a chance she made that last purchase -after- her disappearance on the 20th?

So, has anyone attempted contacting Nagyzee (one that sold to her & left feedback the 22nd) to see when the purchase was made? Maybe the police could work with the owner of bricklink & check the IP address of where she was when she placed that order or if that order was sent to a different address than usual?

I mean, I dunno about you guys, but one would think that the knowledge of an incoming lego package would be enough to keep a person around home gleefully anticipating its arrival. Especially, as she made 3 purchases this month alone. Forgive my rambling, but I want her found & maybe my ranting may be of use.

So sad! I have never met Heather, but I am hoping and praying for her safe return.

Logging in simply to say that I’m praying she is safe and will be back home with her loved ones soon. Never met her, but I’ve long admired her creations. This is very sad news.

This news brings me to tears. I have never meet Heather and I know very little about her. I will pray constantly for her safety and quick return home. Remember, the loving and merciful God that holds the universe is also holding her in His hands.

@Jim: Hmmm, it still works for me. Maybe their server was having intermittent issues.

Oh man… I really hope she’s alright.
I hope I’ll never have to know what her family and friends are going through, but I can only imagine they are worried sick.

I hope she’s ok. I’ve seen her on flickr, and in any photos with her in it, she’s always smiling.

Not good.

By the way, your link to the missing report page does not work.

I had traded comments with Heather on Flickr and met her at Brick Con last year. She’s a remarkably sweet woman. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about her where-abouts. I hope that she’s simply dropped off the grid for a bit and is alright.
