NWCAVE Committee Reports
Missing Persons Division
Shelley Shaffer, Chair
We are happy to report that missing Arizona teen Saddie Cowart has been found and is safe back in Arizona. NWCAVE, in particular Michelle Bart and Natalie Brand, were great allies for the family of Saddie. After a few days of constant media attention, two adults were taken in for questioning in Oklahoma for helping Saddie run away from home and take her over state line. Good job ladies!
Sadly, our other case Kara Nichols in Colorado Springs has yet to bring any valid information to the family on the whereabouts of their teenage daughter. NWCAVE continues to get the information on Kara in the news and everyone is hoping the family will have information soon. Learn more by going to www.karanichols.org.
Lastly, Michelle Bart has served as the family spokesperson of Yashanee Vaughn; learn more about this case by visiting www.yashanee.com.
