Can anyone elaborate on what search efforts have been made thus far? 

We sure hope so, Matthew. People have no idea unless we tell them long and loud about the plights of the families who lose loved ones abroad. We're here to help - please spread the word.

Have any U.S. teams gone there to participate in the search for Aubrey?

I am by no means the family spokesperson or an "insider" - just a family friend. Aubrey is very very close to her family and was in constant contact up until the day she entered Langtang. I can tell youI the search efforts have been pretty extensive, initally included her father and brother, helicopters, local authorities, tons of posters, and at some point the FBI. There are some reasons to suspect foul play and there are NO REASONS to believe she is dead. There is some suspicion that people who may know somethign are afraid to talk. Aubrey vanished on day 2 of a a relatively easy trek in a populated area. Not a trace has been found of Aubrey or anything she had with her on the trek. No backpack, article of clothing, nothing. There are links to news stories here that can tell you more. Today is Aubrey's birthday. She is missed beyond expression.

YOU ARE A VERY GOOD FRIEND FOR CARING AND KNOWING ABOUT AUBREYS CASE.MY FATHER DISAPPEARED NOV 11 AND HIS BIRTHDAY WAS DEC 15 AND IT WAS A VERY SAD DAY BECAUSE WE HAVE NO NEWS BUT A HAPPY DAY BECAUSE ALL OF US WERE TOGETHER AND WITH HIGH HOPES ABOUT HAVING MY DAD HOME FOR HIS NEXT BIRTHDAY.

HOPE AUBREY IS OK

 

Hello Alison, Were the searchers from Nepal or were they from the U.S. (aside from her brother and father of course)?  What type of training background did the searchers have?  Has anyone offered a monetary reward in Nepal for information,etc.?  I am keeping Aubrey in my prayers.  Sharon
