Veronica Ruiz search effort

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Veronica Ruiz has been missing since Dec. 3. Authorities have called off the search since no trace of her was found at Mount Tamalpais. A new site has been set up to coordinate volunteers who are forging ahead with the search. Link here. Searches are happening today and tomorrow.
More on the search effort at this yelp.com page.

Veronica’s mom showed up at the workplace of this blogger looking for help in the search.
