I wanted to thank everyone who read, recommended and spread the word about my friend Tamra. I knew that an important matter like this would be shared and promoted by Xangans, as we tend to help one another wherever and whenever we can....one of the many reasons why I can proudly say I'm a Xangan.
The good news is that Tamra is alive and the family was able to speak with her.
Here's the latest update from her sister, who has led the search:
Heard from Tamra. Thank you all for your help, support and prayers. I dont know where she is or what she's doing, and I am humilated and hurt and horrified that it had to go this far. Please continue to pray for her.....I am scared she is giving up on herself. I am sobbing with hurt and anger and fear and Lord please help her now! My mom can sleep at least tonight. not peacefully, but she now knows her daughter is alive. Please re-post this and forward to all who've helped. Please do not mesg me or comment, as I have no answers.
As a friend of Tamra and of the family, I won't go into the details unless they give permission. Just know that she is alive, and your help has been appreciated. Please continue to pray for Tamra and her family as the journey they have to take is a long one.
If there are any further developments I can share, I will be sure to pass them along.
Thank you again.

[update 12/9 - New message from Tamra's Sister:
ok.....embarrasing as it is.....Im putting it out there, and i'd like for you all to forwards this etc.: My sister Tamra Garrett, is still missing in the sense that after she called briefly to tell us she wasn't dead but has not been seen or heard from since. Please continue to keep an eye out for her and if you see her, tell her to come home please. My mother and I, (and the rest of us) are not mad, we just want her to know we love her and want to help her get better. and always, Please pray. I keep moving forward, going through the motions with her in the back of my mind, but its very hard to ignore....for those who I emailed posters....please post them still. All over CA please. I feel that she may be within 30 miles, but really dont know. The police will not help unless its foul play. I am relying on all of you who truly love her and want whats best for her and my family. Thank you. For posters-send me your email you and I will reply with it as an attachment.

Hopefully everything turns out okay for your friend.
@bloggicus_maximus - thanks. I hope so to.
Thanks God she's alive. I'll keep them in my prayers.
Glad to hear she is at least alive. May she have the courage to work through what lies ahead.
I hope your friend can look at the big picture and not do anything drastic. There was a period of time when I was also very depressed, and life seemed unbearable. Hope she'll be okay...
praying for the Lord to touch her heart, give her peace in her mind and bring her home safely.
So glad that they at least know she is alive. I will continue to keep her in my thoughts and prayers. <3
Thank you for the update. I will keep praying for her and for her family. I hope she will be okay and can find the help she needs.
