HI ShootingStar,
Thank you for caring about my health It has been a roller coster ride with 37 surgery's I just can't get the 38th one done right now cause then I would be layed Up for months and all the work I have had to do since her first missing report never got opened and now that I got It opened for sure with the wayne county sheriff's I cant just lose that precious time again and I don't think my health would permit me to go thru this again.
I swear I don't know which Is worse my broken heart or my health I would say my heart hands down but thanks for all your support and everyone please read my mom's story's maybe you might have known her.
I'm still waiting on her age progression I'm wondering If I should just pay the 300 dollars that I really can not afford I wish I knew how to do one I wonder If a tatoo place could do one I'm gonna look Into that right now.
Take care everyone and have a beautiful week.
Sincerely Debbie Lynn.

HI Everyone,
I have some new Information on my mom's case I got some recorfs she was In allegan michigan In july around the 8th and she got pulled over In 1988 In walker city mi for a wrong turn, and I have a copy of the ticket.
And In 1995 she was spotted In finville michigan at the grocery store by my cousin Inlaw ans she was pulling out In a green truck before my cousin could get her attention.
So please keep your her in your prayers and keep a lookout for her she won;t look nothing like the one age progression they are working on another one the doenetwork and I will let you know as soon as I get It.
Sincerely Debbie Lynn.

Good luck with this Deb! God Bless, I sure as heck am praying for you.

I saw the orginal age progression, and while not bad cause the age does come through, I had thought that since your mother was such a beautiful woman,that some of that should have shown through, even though so many years have passed. You know, some older women in their 60's or older, for example, you can tell they were very good looking at one time..I feel there may still be a hint of that. Of course, I'm no good at this stuff, so I don't second guess... It is definitly an art, that I wouldn't be able to it at all. I can draw stick figures, barely.

Hang in there, woman!

HI ShootingStar,
That age progression Of her Is terrible cause they only had old picture's of her to go by , my mom has a long neck that age photo she has no neck and anyone that would see her new picture's would know that would look nothing like her or no one In my family the people that have seen It emailed me and said who done that no way would that look like your mom and I had to explain they did the best they could with the photo's they had but now with the new photo's on her http://www.geocities.com/ruthhoffmanmissing you can be the judge of that.
See you on the other board In a little while.

HI Everyone,
I really want your advice on this age progression?
Even though the guy Is working on some changes and I'm so thankful to him I just thought If you guy's could tell me what you think from and outsider looking In maybe I'm just to close to the whole situation, but I got a email actually telling me she looked like a man In the age progression photo so please tell me what you think.
Deb.
PS: She was 44 when In the photo of her In the brown leather jacket and she would be 63 right now.

================================================== =======

I believe this is a very good age progression, if not excellent.

================================================== =======

HI Shootingstar,
oh and I agree with you this guy does very good work and after the changes like the forehead and hes pulling off 7 years and the chin he just might have her nailed. you know how you would look at a 80 year old woman and think to yourself gosh she must have been beautiful In her day well thats what were working on Is getting her best possible look to put on flyers.
She was Is a very pretty woman and I can't wait until the day comes when I can see her again and we are going public In november so hopefully somebody knows something?
Thank you so much for your opinion I really do appreciate It.

================================================== =======

Today Is my mom's Birthday october 5th and I want to wish her a happy birthday and to tell her I love her and mom If you are reading this by chance I love and miss you and I promise you I will keep looking for you with my last breath you are my whole world and without you there Is no life for me.
But this Is your day and I hope wherever you are you are smiling and happy.
with all my love your loving daughter debbie lynn,

Can everyone say a special pray for my mom or light a candle for her on her special day and such a special woman.

HI Everyone,

HI Everyone,
Realcrimes has added my mom to there site and I wanted you to have there link and I need your help am I suppose to get ahold of the news now or not yet??
I don't know why but this site is not letting me add the link to realcrimes.com and I am probally doing something wrong.

============

Debbie,
Truckingboards won't allow you to link to outside pages until after you have posted at least 15 times. Kelly popped in and posted the link, but it came up as code.

I did a little research: the link that RealCrimes has is the bad one. It links directly to the nonsense coded gibberish with no other place to go except the family website. I have the home page quote for you, but until they get it fixed, there is nothing much to do.

http://www.realcrimes.com/

scroll down to the 4th from the bottom, and you will see Ruth's box:


MI Case Ruth Sharon Hoffman

Rogue River Police Dept.

Wayne Co. Sheriff's Dept.

Ruth vanished the day after being beaten and brutally raped by the owner of a local "cops bar" and his buddy. Is that why Rogue River Police only pretended to file a missing person report and told Ruth's daughter not to "bug them" about her missing mother? Ruth's official website.

God Bless all of you out there that have helped me or gonna help me and god Bless all of the people hurting over someone.

Debbie,

When I click on her name at Real Crime, I get a page of code. I do not get a story at all! Perhaps it is me!

Just in case I am the only one affected by this issue, here is the link:
