Fellow S'cubies, what follows is a thread that was especially made today becuase Patti had been missing for a couple days. Being as it was over hte weekend when things slow down no one paid as much attention. It wasn't until this morning, when she missed an important meeting with me to get some work done that I was alerted. After being unable to rouse her on her home phone or cell phone, I checked hte boards and found out she had not posted since the wee hours of Saturday morning.
I won't go into great detail here (you can read below), save to say that Diane *hug* checked her house in Houston and her car and some old mail were still there. Unable to get in past Patti's security on the house, Diane called the police. After what took Diane and a good portion of us S'cubies many hours, finally hte police entered the house at around 9 or 10. Patti was found to have passed away, apparently from natural causes. We managed to contact her brother in Florida only minutes before this was discovered.
What follows this is, in the beginning, a record of the things we did to try and find Patti and make sure she was alright. Then once hte news broke around page 12 or 13, it has become a memorial and eulogy for a friend that deeply touched us all here on the S3. Patti truly loved this site and everythign and person upon it. Perhaps we can find relief in the fact that for the last couple years a truly wonderful retired person managed to find a place she was truly happy and very much needed. In the beginning, she was my chief co-conspirator at making htis something manageable and fun. As time went on she became the hardest worker adn the one that believed in us (and me) the most. I honestly believe, that without her, this place would simply not exist.
Sometimes the hardest thing in this world is living in it. Patti made it easier and more worthwhile for us all. There can be no greater gift than such generosity. Thank you, Patti. I loved you very, very much.
Mitchel... tho' she always, always would call me Vlad
Folks I am placing htis board at hte top of this thread for people to find easily.
If you have any information at all about Patti, why she is missing, last contact info within the last over 48 hours hours (Rob's last email from her was from late Friday/early Saturday.)
What we know:
-Patti has not been heard form since that time.
-Patti missed an important meeting abuot board stuff with me for this morning at 10 AM that she set up.
-Diane investigated her house and found it completely shut up, curtains and drapes all drawn. Patti's car was present as was several days worth of mail.
-Patti's house is "barred" necessitating a hard break in.
-Diane contacted the police who sent officers out. They refuse to enter the premises without approval from a relative. This even knowing htat Patti has diabetes.
What we think we know:
-Patti has a brother that lives in northern Florida, most likely Jacksonville.
-Patti's brother is most likely named Cal Thompson. He is slightly older than Patti which would put him in his mid 50's
-I have done searches online and have dismissed the two phone numbers on record by calling them. These numbers are 904-598-2608 and 904-981-0393
the numbers: (904) 713-8431 and (904) 448-9901 are also no good.
That is currently the information that we have. Matt is tracking down some other possible leads to people in Florida that may be her brother and Erin is searching through some othre records for last year's S'fest for contact info.
If anyone has any idea, information or thoughts please use this thread to post them to us.
Updated list of Bad Numbers:

Thank you,
Vlad
