Vanished, scary story......
Edited on Thu Nov-27-03 10:17 PM by sgr2
Scary story from up in North Dakota. Something you'd expect to see in a horror movie.

Authorities believe the 22-year-old University of North Dakota senior may have been abducted while she was talking to her boyfriend on her cell phone.

Even though they have received more than 580 calls to a tip line since she disappeared Saturday, police say they have no suspects or anyone who has any credible information.

----------------------

Sjodin had finished her shift at Victoria's Secret at the Columbia Mall and had gone shopping at another store in the mall.

Her boyfriend, Chris Lang, told authorities he was talking to Sjodin on the cell phone when the conversation abruptly ended. Eggebraaten said Lang reported that Sjodin said "something to the effect of 'Oh my God,' or 'Oh no'" before the line went dead.

That was about 5 p.m., said Sjodin's mother, Linda Walker. Lang later got another call that was only static and the sound of number keys being pressed.

------------------------------------------------

Police said Lang called Sjodin's roommate, Meg Murphy, who called police after Sjodin failed to show up for her second job at a nightclub later that night.

Sjodin's car was found in the mall parking lot. Eggebraaten said a package she apparently bought at the mall was inside. "There was no sign of a struggle that we could determine," he said.

The search has been centered on Fisher, Minn., about 10 miles east of Grand Forks, where the Saturday night call was traced to her cell phone. It has been widened to the area of Crookston, Minn., about 25 miles southeast of Grand Forks, because the cell phone signal could have carried that far, officials said.

Police were investigating calls to Sjodin at the Victoria's Secret store. They said she had received at least one call from a man she did not know, who asked for her by name.

1. Frightening
The entire notion of an abduction is frightening. We live in a sick, sick world.

Networks have been covering this pretty good.

4. she is not the first woman to disappear up there...
....i think there have been at least three in the past few years....one was found dead, in a gravel pit...after being abducted while in=line skating out in the countryside...the man who did it, or at least the cops concluded he did, later committed suicide...but this does seem extremely ominous...



(....i don't know what you mean by 'actually, it's from north dakota, yeah, but...)
