The first time I heard about this case was not too long ago as I was scrolling on YouTube and it's a very sad almost 20-year-old cold case.

I am going to share the information from these articles about this case in hopes of bringing more awareness to her disappearance. I will have all the resources linked at the bottom as well.

There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Some Florida restaurants are famous for their locations - like Cap's Place. Others are famous for both their location and a specific food item like - Keylime Bistro – Loose Caboose. Unfortunately, the latter was recently shut down after a state inspection.

Delray Beach, FL

After writing Florida restaurant articles for years, I've come to believe that Floridians want high-quality food when they splurge on a restaurant meal.
