According to CNN ... the Von's store where Caroline purchased her sandwich and contacted her mother is over two miles from her home in the opposite direction of the medical center.

Could it be that Caroline is a runaway ... a runaway who wanted avoid for personal reasons getting on a plane this morning with her father for a family gathering in Boston?

When I consider the alternatives ... I hope that this young lady has left of her own accord.

It would be appreciated if someone could post a simple map that outlines Carolines route from home to the Von's store and ... then to the medical center.  Thanks.

If my Caroline was my granddaughter ... I would rather cling to the hope that she ran away from home over a family matter rather that imagine she had been abducted, raped and murdered.

Hospital volunteer Caroline Karimi vanishes; search intensifies
Wednesday, July 31, 2013


<snipped>

Authorities and the woman's family are now trying to figure out what happened to her.

Police say Karimi's friends, Vivian and Valerie Lopez, may know where Karimi is. They say the twin sisters have not been reported missing, but detectives have not been able to track them down. Investigators believe they were the last ones to talk to Karimi.

"We're trying to do the best we can to identify where we think that they may be, if they may be together or they may not be together, we don't know that yet," said Lt. Andre Dawson with the Los Angeles Police Department.

I am hopeful there is about to be a positive outcome in the disappearance of Caroline Karami!  The possibility that Caroline may be with her good friends must afford a measure of comfort to her parents.  If Caroline did leave of her own accord ... the underlying reasons can always be discussed and worked out within the family setting once she returns.

Mystery Deepens Involving Missing Hospital Volunteer, 18
July 31, 2013 6:41 PM


LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The mystery surrounding missing hospital volunteer Caroline Karimi intensified Wednesday when police said they believed she might be with two friends.

Police also said Wednesday they did not suspect foul play.

Meanwhile, Karimi’s mother arrived home from Boston where the missing woman and her father were expected to join her today on vacation.

<snipped>

The woman’s frantic father, Dr. Ardeshir Karimi, said today that his daughter had a mild case of Asperger’s Syndrome.

Police believe Karimi might be with friends and former classmates, twin sisters Valerie and Vivian Lopez. They think the Lopez sisters could also know where Karimi is.

The lead detective on the case told Lazar the twins have also not been seen since Monday. They had email contact with their father but when asked if they knew where Karimi was, he said they did not reply.

Karimi’s parents said their daughter, a recent high school graduate, has no history of depression or running away.

<snipped>

Detectives said Karimi’s cell phone has been turned off making it impossible to track her movements.

“There has been no credit card activity … any types of phone calls we may be able to trace, so far, again we are in the earlier stages of it. That is all we have right now,” said LAPD Lt. Andre Dawson.

SoCal Teen Missing for Two Days Found Safe in Wyoming

http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Police-Seek-Help-Finding-Missing-Teen-217705281.html

Quote
An 18-year-old woman who was reported missing this week has been found in Wyoming with friends after taking an unannounced road trip, her father told NBC4.

Caroline Karimi of West Los Angeles sent her mother a text late Wednesday saying she was in Wyoming with friends, according to her father, Dr. Ardeshir Karimi.

"She told her mom she just wanted to spend some time with her friends before college started," Ardeshir Karimi said.

 

Is this a result of her Asperger's? Or is this another teen with no sense of understanding of what they do has consequences?

Obviously we are glad she is safe, that goes without saying. But what is up lately with the rash of reporting missing person cases where these kids are just wandering off telling their parents one thing and doing something completely irresponsible?

The parents will be lucky if they are not stuck with the tab for the man hours for this search and investigation.

Missing Cheviot Hills Teen Found Safe in Wyoming

Her father, Dr. Art Karimi, said he received a call from his daughter on Wednesday at about 9:30 p.m.

She had gone on a road trip with friends without informing her family, according to Dr. Karimi.

Family members became concerned on Monday when she failed to show up at San Gabriel Valley Medical Center, where she volunteers four days a week.


So this kid has Asperger's ... the friends did not. Are you saying that none of these people had the common sense to say where they were going? 

I mean she was dressed to go to work. She told her family she was going to work. I actually think that the blaming on Asperger's is a bit of BS. She purposely put forth the charade that she was going to work and did something totally different. Imagine if something bad happened when they went on this unplanned trip to Wyoming?

I am thankful that Caroline is safe.  However ... there are many unanswered questions as to why this young lady did not contact her parents ... why she put them through this h--- on earth of not knowing.  When the Aspereger syndrome is considered ... Caroline's mother may be correct in her suspicion that Caroline was influence by her friends ... friends that fail to comprehend that there is a difference between parental protection and parental control.

My heart goes out to this young lady who is struggling for her independence but ... my heart also goes out to her parents are aware of their daughter's life-skill limitations.

Missing Cheviot Hills Teen Found Safe in Wyoming
August 1, 2013


CHEVIOT HILLS, Calif. (KTLA) — A teenager with a form of autism who disappeared after leaving her family’s Cheviot Hills home was found safe Wednesday evening in Wyoming.

Caroline Karimi, 18, was pulled over by state police as she was passing through the city of Cheyenne

Her father, Dr. Art Karimi, said he received a call from his daughter on Wednesday around 9:30 p.m.

She had gone on a road trip with her twin friends without informing her family, according to Dr. Karimi.

<snipped>

Karimi has Aspereger syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism, which her parents worried was the reason for the change in her behavior.

“She’s easily influenced by people around her, and it makes guiding a child through adolescence and into adulthood extremely difficult,” mother Anita Nathoni said.

“It sounds like she’s trying to be independent, but there are two other children involved,” Nathoni said.

“It could be with the influence of the two other children that she’s gotten herself into this predicament,” she said.

Karimi said she has no plans to return home and, instead, will go straight to college in the fall, according to her parents.

Asperger Syndrome

Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger disorder (AD), is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development.

The syndrome is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, studied and described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers ....
