Hopefully unharmed, that is: they just found her today.

It’s that 14 year old girl from Michigan, Lindsay Diane Ryan, who ran off with/was abducted by a 56 year old convicted murderer. Someone spotted them at a gas station near [Susanville](http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/03/24/state1357EST0067.DTL), California. The truck that Terry Drake drove had been crudely painted to disguise it, and the girl’s hair had been dyed black.

Lindsay? That’s my name…

Well, it’s always good to hear about another Lindsay (it’s not a common name, especially not spelled like that), and it’s even better to hear about someone being safe.

So good for her and whoever found her.

Outstanding!!

I had read about Lindsay, and since Smart was found I’ve hoping we’d hear more good news stories like this!

Lindsey’s mother, Carol Ryan, walked into a news conference Monday afternoon in Cass County, Michigan, threw her hands up in the air and yelled, “Yay!” \*\*

And there was much rejoicing. 😃
