"...our family is broken, and until we find our daughter Kristen, there will always be a void..." - Bob Modafferi, Kristen's Father

Kristen had completed her freshman year in the School of Design at North Carolina State University, one of a close knit group of twenty-five students on full academic scholarship through the Park Foundation. Kristen was encouraged, like her fellow students, to plan an enriching "summer experience", either domestically or abroad, and be prepared to share the adventure with the group of Park Scholars on returning to NC State University for their sophomore year.

Kristen had researched and planned a summer filled with life experiences in a big city, San Francisco, where she would work, live on her own, and take photography courses at the University of California at Berkeley to compliment her design major.

Departing for San Francisco on her 18th birthday, June 1, 1997, she found employment Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Spinelli's Coffee Shop in the financial district of downtown San Francisco.

Kristen had just started a second job on weekends at the Cafe Museo at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

She was planning to start class at Berkeley on June 24, 1997. The day before, June 23, 1997, Kristen left work after her shift at Spinelli's, and completely disappeared without a trace. The case remains unsolved, but the determination of all of us to find the answers we need remains intact.

If you have seen Kristen or have any information:

1 . "MSNBC Launch Missing Persons Show Oct 6 - Oct 7, 2000"
Posted by LadyBug on Oct-01-00 at 05:45 AM (EST)
Dear Friends,

MSNBC will be launching a new show on Missing
Persons on October 6, 2000 and October 7, 2000.
The first episode will feature Kristen's story.

Our investigations team has been very tight-lipped about their progress in determining Kristen's contacts and actions just prior to her
disappearance on June 23, 1997.

It is our understanding that relevant new information will be released during the airing of the show on both nights. Please check your local listings for the time of the MSNBC telecast in your viewing area.
Thank you,
The Family and Friends of Kristen Modafferi

October 20, 2000

We were tuned in to C-Span tonight and watched Kristen's Act debated and at approximately 7:30pm go to a vote and pass in the House of Representatives.

We expect it to reach the Senate as early as Monday, and within 10 days get signed into law by the President.

This is a time of many mixed emotions for us. We are very pleased that we have seen this through
and are confident that Kristen's Law will help other families with missing loved ones,
regardless of their age.

We have requested that we be allowed to be present in Washington, DC for the Presidential signing of Kristen's Act into law.

Many thanks to all of you for your continuing prayers and support of us and our efforts to find
Kristen.
Sincerely,

Bob and Debbie Modafferi
Kristen's Parents

4 . "Kristen's Law Enacted November 9, 2000"
Posted by LadyBug on Nov-10-00 at 01:26 AM (EST)
President Clinton endorsed Kristen's Law Nov. 9, 2000.

Dear Friends,

The "Help Find Kristen Modafferi" web site has
been updated with news of the long awaited sign-
ing into law of Kristen's Act on this very day,
Thursday, November 9, 2000.

Kristen's web site is located at...
...and the complete text of the update is in the thread Kristen's Law November 9, 2000.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and
support,
The Family and Friends of Kristen Modafferi.

The reenactment of our daughter Kristen's disappearance will be televised nationally on the TV Show Unsolved Mysteries this coming Friday, July 20, 2001, on the Lifetime Channel. Check your local listings for the scheduled times in your area.

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.

We were also expecting national exposure through People Magazine in their current issue.

Unfortunately, People Magazine chose to go with the more "sensational" story all over the news these days – Chandra Levy. 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.

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.

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.

We need the national coverage of Kristen's Law more than ever because it is now going before the Appropriations Committee for funding.

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...
http://www.modlink.com/kristen.

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.

YOU can also help us, 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.

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.

Thank you,

--The Modafferi Family (and friends)

Write the media! Don't forget, mark your calendar today!
Thank you,

sheree

Ladybug that's very interesting--The phone call came from Hawaii !!!
Sounds like Onunan (sp) has done that before.
Ladybug I just don't think this was a stranger abduction.
She must have known the person responsible.
She was new to SF very smart and knew what she wanted to do in life.
She did not live a risky life style from what I've read about her.
Now if Onunan or Mathew offred to give her a ride to Golden Gate state park and then take her to her appartment and she knew them.
Then maybe she excepted and at that time she was defenseless.
Kristin was a beautiful girl and if someone watched her wait on tables and met her through a friend.
That person wanted her.
I don't wont to hurt the Modafferis but I think their daughter was sexually and murdered and desposed of in a isolated area.
I've seen to many of these cases. Their must be a connection and it's from the coffee shop.
Jill went with Onunan and he was very abusive to her. He had a criminal record of violence towards his girl friends.
He is a person of interest butts he was in love with Jill and very possesive of her at the time.
I want to know more about Mathew ??????

Roadrunner you can research these people and the case by reading the web site I mentioned by Dennis Mahone.

The "Help Find Kristen Modafferi" web site has been updated with a Summer 2003 update from the Modafferi family. The text of the update is included in this e-mail but, before we present the update, here's an important bit of news.

Kristen Modafferi's disappearance will be featured on a television special called "The Vanished" which will be aired on ABC-TV on
July 21st, 2003. Please check your local listings and let your friends and families know! Thank you.

An now, here is the text of the update to Kristen's web site:
Summer, 2003

We're back from another trip to the San Francisco area, but this trip was a little different. Our goal is always the same...to think of good, meaningful things to do while in the bay area that could lead us in a new direction, or turn up a vital clue that would point out at long last what happened to Kristen...six years ago... when she left her job at the coffee shop in the Crocker Galleria on June 23, 1997.

This trip was different because we asked for a moment of hope, a weekly message offered on the radio by a local Charlotte minister. He knew about Kristen's disappearance and was kind enough to deliver to our family a personal offering of hope and encouragement, and peace and comfort. What happened next was nothing short of amazing.

Over the next few days, we were contacted first by the FBI, then by a TV Producer for the ABC series "Vanished", and next by an investigative reporter doing an in-depth story on missing adults for Reader's Digest. In all these instances there is a renewed focus on Kristen's disappearance, on understanding what was done in the early days after she went missing, and more importantly, what wasn't done that should have been done. The Vanished ABC-TV Special will be televised on July 21st, and the Reader's Digest story is scheduled for publication in December.

All of this unexpected attention strengthens our faith that there is a greater power behind the minister's message. The effects can be measured in terms of stepped up FBI involvement and a great deal more national exposure covering Kristen's case. The objective of the FBI is to find out who knows something significant about what happened to Kristen but has not come forward. The national exposure serves a similar purpose, to reveal investigative areas that may have been glossed over or overlooked completely, allowing the ongoing investigation to "zoom in" on these target areas. We are very pleased that so much new effort is being put forth to break through the impasse we have been struggling with for the last six years.

The final piece of good news involves a man from California who has been deeply affected, as a family man and father, by what has happened to us and to other families faced with a missing loved one. He is making a very generous offer in an attempt to convince those with importantinformation to find the courage to come forward now. He is a good man with a kind heart who feels compelled to try to help. Read more at : http://www.findkristen.com.
