Frank, if you read this, I was wondering about something.
At nightime, when the prostitutes you paid for to keep you company have gone home, if you are able to handle being alone with yourself during the empy moments…When you are sitting in your house alone with the shades drawn, do you think of Leta?
The body dies, but I believe our souls live on. Do you think Leta’s soul may still be present in the home you shared with her, watching you?
Something to think about next time you are home alone, especially at night.

I am in prayer that Leta’s remains are found. I miss her terribly along with the rest of the family that have passed on. Whoever done this, you will pay. I wish we never lost contact and I am heart broken. I am confused by reading that the hotel did infact at first say that Leta was there and there was some altercations and that there was a cell call from her cell the following morning but then they say none of that is correct. Somewhere I read a post where the Westin at the time of Leta’s disappearance that a vacationer was told (everyone in the hotel was told) do not take any taxi cabs but theirs … the hotel cabs were to be the only ones they use to go places and be picked up … what about the neighbors? If Frank indeed did do the drive and did not see Leta, could one of the nieghbors seen her start to leave and say hey come over here and have a drink etc? Leta would of went, knowing she knew her neighbors … could one person of done this? I don’t know, i am so hurt right now … Could of Frank really have done this? Elaine, please keep in touch … God Bless and I pray she is found.

We are all blessed to have had Leta in our lives. I can not thank you all enough for what you have and are doing. I am so numb Elaine. You just never expect anything like this. I love you all. I love you Leta, Curtis, Mo and Rick … I love you too Rory and God Bless you and I wish I could see you.

Hi Kristi,
I am so sorry you had to find out Leta, Curtis, Rick and Modena have all left us on a disturbing, distorted TV Show! It is beyond heartbreaking. I too loved her and her family with all my heart and miss them terribly! Cary and I will keep searching…that I promise you. The answers are out there and we will find them. Rory is hanging in there (this has been horrific)…but he is well. I hope all is well with you and your family. The Dutch Officials have been incredibly helpful and supportive…they too will not give up. I sent you my private number in an email…did you get it? If so PLEASE call me.
Lots of LOVE to you to.
My best to you,
Elaine Karas
