What a sad story.

And that May 8 post from "monkalup" is a bit out of context. A family lost their daughter and he's posting baseball stats from some lame web site.

WOW, really terrible, when Doug was traded to NY in June of that year was his missing sister a story at all,not trying to diminish what happened but just curious if the media here talked to him about that.

I don't remember anything about it. But of course, it was 30 years ago.

I haven't seen her anywhere

A number of years ago I read a book called "The Bluegrass Conspiracy" which dealt with her disappearance and a lot of other shenanigans going on in Kentucky around that time. Can't remember too much of what went on in the book, though.

Yeah much of the internet speculation I've garnered is of a rogue band of narcotics officers she got caught up in. What doesn't add up, to me, is that if she was allegedly spotted in another state, was at some level mixed up with local law enforcement, her father was a state senator, and her brother a local celebrity, what does it take to get the feds on the case?

Is that book on the Great Online List of Books Sharpie Has Read?

[Guest sharpie]

There is no such online list. It's Yancy who has the online list. I have an offline list. "The Bluegrass Conspiracy" is on that list.

The closest match on my online list is Blue Latitudes by Tony Horwitz. I read it in April of 2003.

There's also The Blue Messiah by James D. Horan. I barely remember it (I read it in 1993) but I recall it was some kind of a cop novel. I think it was a hand-me-down from my grandmother.



As for Doug's sister, it sounds almost certain that it was foul play. I guess there's a very very slim chance that her history of amnesia could account for her being alive for the last 30 years without contacting her family.

Blue Latitudes is also on my list. It's a better book than The Bluegrass Conspiracy.
