Comment:
This 73 year old woman has been missing for two days and it has taken about 32 hours to get her photo up on the internet.
This is a pitifully slow and potentially dangerous response.
Let's all pray for Ms. Packard's speedy and safe return to her loved ones.
Update 8:05 pm:
The Journal News In Westchester Also Has A Photo Up On Thier Website.
Missing Greenwich woman sought
Update #2 1:58 am August 1st:
Ms. Packard still has not been listed on the Greenwich Police Department's official Missing Persons web page.
Photo's of missing persons should immediately go up on on the police department website. Further, police department missing reports should go out to all media not just the mainstream media.
Time is of the essence while trying to locate this 73 year old woman and all media and communication outlets should be utilized.
If the Greenwich Police Department had sent Greenwich Roundup an emailed press release with a photo it would have went been up on the web immediately and on our RSS feed instantaneously.
The Greenwich Time might have a photo in tomorrows news paper. The certainly don't have the picture up on the Greenwich Time web page.Somehow WTNH in New Haven and the journal News in White Plains got a picture of Ms. Packard and put it up on their website.
Greenwich Police Detective Mark Zuccerella should immediately see that Ms. Packard's photo is put up at the Greenwich Police Department's web site and that all concerned media web sites are sent updates and photos about this missing 73 year old Glenville woman.
Update #3 10:14 am August 1,2008
Has Ms. Packard been located?
Why has the Greenwich Time has removed Rosa Packards story from the home page of their news web site?
Nor is the story of her disappearance 48 hours ago on the local news page of the Greenwich Time website.
These old news items ate still on the Greenwich Times local news page:
Judge Judy called Tuesday's California earthquake a wake up call. "The Earth shook, the lights shook," she said yesterday over the phone.
And
Judge denies delay in pool case
A state Superior Court judge has rejected a bid to put off a wrongful death suit filed by the parents of a 6-year-old Greenwich boy drowned after getting stuck in a powerful suction drain in his family pool last summer.
If you want to find the story about the disappearance of Rosa Packard you have to use the Greenwich Time search page to find yesterdays news story.
Poor 73 year old Glenville woman has disappeared from both Glenville and the homepage of the Greenwich Time.
One Glenville resident told me they thought the Greenwich Time took down the News story about Ms. Packard, because it was just some kind of hoax or police misunderstanding.
This Glenville resident further speculated that the Greenwich Time did not want to be embarrassed by being the only Greenwich Newspaper to put up an alert about Ms. Packard.
Maybe, this is why the Police Department has not put Ms. Packard's photo and information up on their missing persons web page.
Here at Greenwich Roundup we are going to assume that Ms. Packard is still missing and possibly in need of help until we hear differently.
The Greenwich Citizen and the Greenwich post has not even put so much as press release about Rosa Packard.
Is is stange that you have to go to an out of town website to see a photo of a missing Greenwich woman.
Let's all hope and pray that this elderly Glenville woman is returned home safely.
