<font color=purple>Dear Friends,<P>The reenactment of our daughter Kristen's disappearance will be televised nationally on the TV Show <u>Unsolved Mysteries this coming Friday, July 20, 2001</u>, on the Lifetime Channel. Check your local listings for the scheduled times in your area.<P>Viewers will be asked to call in tips (1-800-690-FIND) about what could have happened to Kristen on June 23, 1997, in San Francisco.<P>We were also expecting national exposure through People Magazine in their current issue.<P>Unfortunately, People Magazine chose to go with the more "sensational" story all over the news these days –<u> Chandra Levy</u>. While we certainly sympathize with her family and hope and pray that they find their missing daughter, we think it's a shame that so much media attention is centered around this story mainly because of the potential scandal involving Chandra and Congressman Condit. <P>So many other families with missing loved ones find it nearly impossible to keep their story alive through the media. And unless you can keep the story alive, you will not be able to keep the search and investigation alive. The role of the media is critical in finding a missing person.<P>John Walsh of America's Most Wanted told a national TV audience last Saturday night that when his son disappeared, there was no National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). His story resulted in the formation of NCMEC. He went on to say that there is now legislation in the works to help missing at-risk adults, but he failed to mention the name of this legislation – Kristen's Law. We are sure it was an oversight, but a costly one. <P>We need the national coverage of Kristen's Law more than ever because it is now going before the Appropriations Committee for funding. <P>With this necessary funding, Kristen's Law becomes a real working piece of legislation that can help ALL missing persons who are over the age of 18 and classified at-risk endangered. Read more about Kristen's Law on our website... <BR><a href="http://www.modlink.com/kristen";>http://www.modlink.com/kristen<;/a>. <P>John Walsh said that there are thousands of missing adults, some who choose to disappear, but many who do not. Their families are devastated and desperately need help. We need the support of the TV and print media to move Kristen's Law quickly through the Appropriations Committee so that it can start helping these families. <P><b><u>YOU can also help us</b></u>, and the families of other missing adults, by writing to magazines like People, Time, and Newsweek, and to national TV Shows like Good Morning America, 20/20, Nightline, PrimeTime, and World News Tonight.<P>Urge them to devote time and energy to stories like Kristen's Law that can truly make a difference in the lives of many families with missing loved ones throughout the United States.<P>Thank you,<P>--The Modafferi Family (and friends)<P>Kristen's Website:<BR><a href="http://www.modlink.com/kristen";>http://www.modlink.com/kristen<;/a>/<BR>.........................................<BR>Thank you Modafferi Family and Friends for your message of new hope. I might add that the Chandra Levy missing case is bringing forward media attention to other missing persons.<P>I wish that everyone will tune in on Unsolved Mysteries this coming<b> Friday, July 20,2001, </b> on the Lifetime Channel(check your local listings) Together we can make a difference but we need everyone united to help find our missing loved ones...regardless of their age they are all someones child. Write the media! Don't forget, mark your calendar today!<BR>Thank you, <BR>LadyBug <P><P><P><BR>
