Dear Mr. Archer:

I think I have seen your wife, but I can’t be sure. I think she had the room next to me at the Best Western just off the Beltway in Pikesville. She was coming out of the room next to mine and looked just like the girl on all those flyer’s I saw posted all over town, only younger maybe. When I asked her what her name was, she said it was Beth. I remember because it was the same as mine. I thought about it all during breakfast. My husband said I was crazy and that it was none of my business anyway, but the more I thought about it, the surer I was. I was going to call the police when we got back to her room, but by then her room was empty. How could I have stopped her anyway?

I hope this helps you to find her, and I realize I don’t get any reward, but that’s all right. At least you know she’s alive.

Sincerely,

Beth Brill (Mrs.)
