8. Neighborhood Watch – Recently I had a mysterious flooding where the hose was turned on by someone.  Simultaneously, I got a call from a Community Correction Officer, and he informed me that my deceased husband’s daughter had failed to report to her halfway house after 3 months out of Purdy.  There is a warrant out for her arrest. If you see a late 40’s early 50’s woman with brown or blond hair, about 5’7 missing teeth in the Lake Desire area, call 911 and tell them you think this is Christine VanNostrand who has a warrant out for her arrest. Do not approach her; she may be dangerous or traveling with dangerous people. Submitted by Nancy, altercoach@comcast.net
