April Beth Pitzer missing 6/28/04 Newberry Springs, CA

[carolyn]

  Morning,
  There must be a black cloud following me. Not only is my back messed up, I went from a head cold to a small patch of pneumonia on my left lung almost overnight..I am having it tuff....
******* I forgot how to check and send pm's. I was going to pm you and couldn't figure out how  you know how pc dumb I am...lol

 I cannot believe it is Christmas.This will make the 3rd year I haven't put up a tree..this used to be our favorite time of the year..April had so much fun wrapping all my gifts while I baked her goodies and cooked. We loved to shop.She was always still like a little girl when we would go shopping. Same big smile,excitement..I sure miss that.
I had a talk with her new Detective. He seems like he will be committed to April also. Though I don't think I will ever find anyone as committed as Det. Pennington. I am certainly going to miss him. But we will remain in touch with eachother.
I don't know how you all do it. keep up on more than one blog?? hats off to you..
I want to say thank-you to all of you here for lighting April's candles. Praying for April's return home, her girls and myself. May God Bless all of you here.
If there are any questions, please feel free to ask me. and I will try to answer them today. May God Bless all..
                          Love and Hope always,Gloria

P.S. can I please have somebody put a hat on April's pic for my avatar? Thank you

Gloria,

Gloria ~  I'm sorry you aren't feeling well.  I hope you get to feeling better soon.  {{{hugs}}}  I've forwarded your request for a Santa Hat for April's avi to the Christmas Avatar thread, and Klaas or CBB will soon see it and I'm sure they will get it fixed right up.  Muffy

Keep the faith, Gloria.

Missing Woman April Beth Pitzer (UPDATE 040308)

We are in the final stretch now and the pressure mounts. Saturday I am going to meet with two awesome dudes, Brian and Tim, that I met at the last search for April in November. Together we will brainstorm the final preparations for the big weekend.

Everything is coming together nicely. Today I got confirmation that RKI Instruments will loan us two of their portable gas detection units so that we can ensure the air quality of the mines is safe for our volunteers. I also found out that the t-shirts are ready for pick-up so I will pick those up tomorrow. Donations are coming in from this forum and other places, and Gloria, the victims’ mother, assures me that we will meet our needs.

My only concern at this point is the transportation issue. I have yet to hear back from the Public Affairs office at MCLB Barstow as to whether or not they will supply us with trucks and busses to move the estimated 250+ volunteers I expect to show up. So, I contacted the Governors office and asked if they can gently persuade the Marines to support our cause. Next week I am going to kamakazi call every government office and military installation in the state until someone steps up. Wish me luck! This is a big part of the plan that needs to happen to make everything else run smooth.

Again I want to thank those of you that are following along as I document the search for April, and a special thanks goes to those that have donated. Thanks for your faith. You guys ROCK!

I received this email from Gloria:

Everybody,
    I want to thank you all for your prayers, support and friendship. I couldn't walk this journey
without you. As you know April's search is in a week. We have not met all the finacial needs
yet. I am not one to ask for things. But recovering my daughters' remains is another thing. I cannot and will not ever find April's remains without help
Please circulate www.whereisapril.org to everybody you know. No amount is too small. Pennies makes dollars.
The potty's, water, plywood,gas for generators, stands of lights, are all needed still. Please help me to obtain
 the money for those needs. Also survey flags, food, buckets and other things. I appreciate anything you can
do to help. god's blessings to all of you. I love you. I will never have money, but I am wealthy indeed...
because I have friends like all of you..
                 Blessings and Hope always,
                 Gloria, girls, & April in spirit

The search was supposed to be April 26-27 rain or shine.  Has anyone heard from Gloria?  How are the girls?

NEXT SEARCH:
May 24, 2008
RAIN OR SHINE

[Bearlyhere]

UPDATE 050908:
The excavation of the primary search site did not yield any remains. The site, which has been suspect for years, has been cleared thanks to the efforts of many volunteers and is no longer a nagging unanswered question. On day two searchers scoured an open area of desert where partial human remains were found a year ago. No further remains were found.

Gloria took time to meet with two persons thought to be involved in April's disappearance and cleared them. One passed a lie detector test and the other has agreed to the test. New information has now surfaced and the search will be taking a new direction in the weeks to come

Thanks, Bearly.  At least they can now rule out this particular location.  They know April isn't there.  Prayers for continued strength for Gloria.
