Woman cyclist missing on Silver Comet Trail

Alachua. I work in Gainesville. How could you leave???

I am from MN, lived in CA for a year (HATED IT!!!) and went back to MN, then moved here for cave diving. I love it here.

Don't assume that criminal types have no bike skills, some of them use bikes as their only conveyance. My recently departed nephew was one of those.
He used to ride at night wearing black clothing to burgle houses to feed his crack habit. However, he was not violent.
I guess what i'm saying is don't assume criminals aren't comfortable on bikes.

if she fought like a wild dog, good for her. i hope that evdience brings this sick person/people down. sounds like she was a strong person all around. its to bad that bad things happen to good people.

There is now mention of this on the Randonneuring list. A man contacted me about his fiance, or something, that lives in Atlanta, who is looking for people to ride with. She is qualified for RAAM this year. I told him how to hook her up with TE forums- maybe she will reveal herself soon! If so, I hope you local guys can maybe ride with her.

Its a word with an interesting past. The original meaning of an avatar is a physical manifestation of a god in the Hindu religion (generally as a human or animal). Somewhere in the early days of computers someone decided that it would be a good word to describe the little icon that a person chooses to represent themselves in the machine world. A lot of computer terms have been swiped from religion/mythology - deamon, sprite, avatar - I'll bet you could name a lot more.

hopefully they have the right guy in custody

**Cindyloo** · 07-28-2006, 07:55 AM

An article I read at WSB TV said that when he was arrested he had a wound to his genital area that was bleeding profusely and was taken to the hospital. He told police at first that a prostitute had done it and then a wild animal. She was a fighter! I hope his ding-a-ling is still in the kudzu!

That may be the best news to come out of this. Hopefully that will give authorities some good blood evidence.

Cindyloo "He told police at first that a prostitute had done it and then a wild animal...."

He was right about that, she fought like a wild animal, like a mother bear.

This is so sad....but good for her.

There's a time to be nice and as women we have that conditioning in all things, and it's beautiful that we do.

But for her to be able to turn that off and rip body parts off....good for her, that's what you do. Keep moving keep moving keep moving.

She fought to survive, for her kids, family. If they caught the right guy there's going to be enough bits and parts of him on her and her on him.

Here's the link: I hope the justice system makes him pay for what he did to her and her family. and for putting fear into countless people who live there and use that recreational trail.
