Carol - messages of support

Keep Carol's plight in the French public's awareness by re-tweeting, sharing on Facebook, keeping the threads going. It all helps.

Please, you don't need to feel helpless - keep looking and liking & sharing & emailing media etc as the more that do the more they'll listen & act.
Please keep looking at the Carol Sheridan Missing FB page - the latest info an hour ago is:

Search levels have been raised to high alert via interpol. Hikers, climbers, cyclists etc... have also been told to be on the look out! The main focus is on finding the car FIND THE CAR - FIND CAROL. KEEP SHARING!

biker we would have been jumping in our cars to help with the search, but Carol is so far away from the majority of us.

it just seems so odd for some one to disappear like this....I think we feel a bit helpless being so far away and greatnan being in another country, I know that if we were all near by we would all be our searching for her.

Great news, glass. He's right on the ball.

Exactly my experience living in rural Var Mamie friends and neighbours not computer minded also doesn't help, but hoping their children are. I was never involved with the ex pat community so have no contacts there. Just racking my brain the same as everyone else.

there may be some BBC news coverage on one of the local networks this lunchtime as family member has been interviewed by BBC.

Just had this back from Dan MacGuill,

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for this.
I'm publishing an article at this very moment. We'll do everything we can to spread awareness among our expat readers in France.

Keep up your efforts,

Best wishes,

Dan

I've Bern on holiday in Suffolk in a WiFi free cottage, and just read about Carol in the Telegraph I'm so shocked! Praying for her and her family x

Yes she's been a godsend with her language and local knowledge.

Granjura is very active about it all & in touch with NZ family.

(I am not her, but have heard all this on a French expat forum).

Folks there are actions that people (particularly the French speaking variety) can take appearing on the IMPORTANT thread. Please remember only to post actions and suggestions on there. (poor whenim64 is trying to do her shopping)

She was very active the other day, but no longer on Gransnet. I know some members are in frequent contact with her and she is in contact with the family via Facebook. Perhaps those who speak to her can help?

Is Granjura still around, when? I really think that a call from someone local to the local papers or TV might be the best way. I do think we need to know what the family's strategy and what the gendarmes are doing first though. We don't want to get in the way of what is happening already.

I'm sure Mamie has covered most options but I have emailed and sent tweets to le dauphin libere and le messager with no results...will do again.Have been reading messages on the Complete France site and others have done the same with no results

Just seen another media mention to tweet/retweet t.co/xtsdFulYt7

Ladies, I have only just seen this thread. I have only ever posted once on Gransnet, about the pros and cons of moving to live nearer my family. Greatnan was one of the people who replied to me, describing where she lived in France etc. I can't believe what has happened. My thoughts are with you all, Greatnan and her family.

I heard the family were being interviewed for French and UK media yesterday, mamie. Hope this she's up soon, but perhaps some more emails and tweets to French media are called for.

Are there a few fluent French speakers who can assist, let us know with a link and we can share/re-tweet.

I fear that is all there is when. One story, two days ago. I think it unlikely that anyone else has picked it up from there; Google normally picks up what there is on line, as does Twitter. I think that until we hear from the family or someone local what is actually happening, then there is not a lot more we can do at the moment.
Not that I am giving up!

mamie I was picking up from this Facebook entry:

Seems alpes france3 are saying the French media have picked it up. Hope they're not going round in circles.

Please don't pm me this weekend. I will be away - hope to keep in touch by FB but my phone isn't much good with Gransnet. Need to update. Thanks to everyone who has contacted me.

And me.

Me too Granmanorm: Carol is on my mind, it seems, all the time. 'see
' you at noon
