Missing Children who were found alive.

Natascha Kampusch: an Austrian schoolgirl who disappeared at the age of 10, was found eight years later in August 2006.

Elizabeth Fritzl: another Austrian girl, who was held captive by her father, in a cellar, beneath their family home for 24 years.

Shannon Matthews: her disappearance sparked a masive ipolice nvestigation. She was found with a relative.

Danielle Cramer: 15, who went missing in June 2006, was discovered by police a year later, locked in a secret cupboard under some stairs in West Hartford, Connecticut.

Shawn Hornbeck: who had gone missing in October 2002, was found in a St. Louis apartment.

William Ownby: the police had been searching for missing 13 year old William Ownby, in the same area that Shawn Hornbeck had gone missing, when the both boys were found alive.

Quite meaningful for them and those who love them, that their cases weren't closed and their files released to the public.

Off topic here but as a Mother of two Daughters this has struck a chord with me todayand I pray this girl makes contact with her family soon!!

What also strikes a chord is that none of the families highlighted in this thread gave their children up for dead and continued hoping for their safe return.

Poor children....I feel so badly for these troubled young girls who do this....

Shasta Groene - her brother Dylan was killed by the pedophile who abducted them and killed their family. Another case where the children were stalked like prey. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/07/03/idaho.children/index.html
