I think you are talking about Celeste Fleek. Her first name was misspelled.
Wishing her safety. I hope she comes back home unharmed.
Celeste Fleek here…this whole scenario has been a sadly communicated correspondence of information. What if I actually had been a missing person, and all the critical information in the article which was inaccurate and misspelled, like this one about me (food for thought for the writer)… however, thank you so much for the efforts to all the men, women, and K9’s that participated in the efforts to find me-you are all appreciated. That must have been an expensive effort based on false information.
*Domestic Violence Awareness Month is coming up soon…support Humboldt Domestic Violence Services, in Eureka…”You are not alone.” Wear a purple ribbon in support.
*The term Domestic Violence is becoming better known as Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and falls into several catagories: physical, emotional/psychological, property, financial, and sexual.
Celeste, The information came to us from law enforcement exactly as it is presented here. Whether law enforcement got the information inaccurate or it was given to them incorrectly, I don’t know.
