    A friend of mine wrote this and they are going to publish it in the newspapers here soon.

    Dear AUSTIN AMERICAN -STATESMAN:

    Rachel Cooke has still not been found. Everyone in
    this community must stay aware there is a predator in
    our midst and there is still a missing teenager who
    has not been seen in over three months.

    We need to stay aware of the circumstances surrounding
    Rachel's disappearance and be cognizant of the fact
    that last year in Texas alone there were over 71,000
    missing persons reports filed. Statistics such as
    these are staggering, and we need to send a powerful
    message to anyone capable of such heinous acts that we
    as a society will have "zero tolerance" and will hunt
    down and prosecute predators to the fullest extent of
    the law.

    The fight and search for Rachel Cooke is not over.
    Refusing to feel victimized, the Cooke family and
    their league of supporters have channeled their
    frustration and grief into feverish work to both
    continue their search for Rachel and to help others
    protect themselves and their loved ones. For those
    interested, there are easy ways to learn more by
    accessing Rachel's web site http://www.rachelcookesearch.org.

    A Run/Walk for Rachel is being held at Old Settlers Park in Round
    Rock on April 27th. I encourage everyone to attend
    and bring their loved ones to help support the search
    effort and pay homage to this missing child, her family, and the many heroic volunteers who are helping them through this tragedy.
