I am staying off of all of the information threads to our missing pilgrim, as I don't want to muddy the waters and detract from one bit of evidence or focus, and I think that's what most of our forum members are doing right now.
I wanted to just note that I have been praying nonstop for several days---and while I'm not Catholic, have called on St. Anthony, who helps find missing people and items, I've been told. I wanted to get a post out there if anyone wants to share prayers or feelings of worry or concern, or of hope. It's just helpful to do that sometime, isn't it?
Looking for answers, and wishing all of you well. I am so appreciative to NateFaith, Kinkyone, Angela, Wayfarer, Grayland, and all moderators who are working hard to take care of our online presence, and of course, Ivar, who has provided so much assistance.
Still praying, and looking ahead for a resolution.
Best wishes to all pilgrims, and in the spirit of "looking ahead," I've booked my first night on Camino Frances at Orrison ----night of 1 October. Perchance I will meet one or more of you!
Amen and Amen... I will stand with you on that... "one can put a 1000 to flight, two can send the legions fleeing!" The new Testament says "where two or three are gathered in My name, I am there in the midst". There is power in shared prayer. I had posted on the original thread that I have whole world wide prayer groups now alerted and praying. We will continue to believe for her safe return and peace during the wait.As a woman who has walked on my own I have felt great kinship with Denise. My thoughts and prayers keep turning to her and her family. Last night I took out my guide and placed my hand over the page showing Hospital de Orbigo to Astorga and prayed for them all, and it came into my head the words in the bible that says" not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father in heaven knowing and you are of more value than many sparrows. I just asked the Father of us all to care for Denise and all her family.

Denise has been on my mind since the day we found out she was missing. Today was an exceptionally difficult day. I have had an aching heart all day long for this situation to be resolved. I don't know her. I didn't walk with her. But somehow...as August said...we are family here...and I just want this sister of ours to be safe and to come home. Continuing to lift her up to God...praying for Angels to camp round about her .
HUGE BIG HUGS. It is so awful that you have had to deal with this. I'm very glad you got away and very proud of you for reporting it AND impressed that you will indeed walk again...this is from the the Denise thread. found several others stating robbed by men with knives too.
Hello. My name is Josie and I'm from Germany.
In September 2014 I walked the Camino and a friend from Canada told me about your search because I might help you. On the road between Astorga and El Ganso my guide has an alternative route appears to me, that runs over Castrillo de los Polvozares. This route I went alone and ran off with a "fake" arrow from the path. On the wrong path, a masked man attacked me with a stun gun. However, I was able to free myself and run away.
After the incident, I called the police in the next town. I gave up a complaint with the police in Astorga and was with the police on the spot where the attack happened. I want to make thee no fear and hope you'll find your sister soon, but perhaps the report could help you in your search. If you have any further questions, I offer my help. best wishes

Thanks for starting this thread, Deb. Like many others, Denise and Cedric have been very much in my thoughts and prayers, and I have entered her into the book of prayer petitions at my parish and at another nearby church. I have been following the search for Denise since Cedric first posted, sadly reading as the initial reassurances turned to genuine concern, and now a widely publicized police search. May she be located soon, safe and in good health. God be with her, and let's all continue to pray.
Hi Ledean, I understand. I too was shocked when read about a woman been attacked with a stun gun, I haven't cancelled my flight but been honest I do feel I need to re focus my thinking to get back to the place where I was counting down the days and was so excited. 4 weeks tomorrow I will be in St Jean , I am only walking for a week but I hope I will never be far from others on the path and that I will feel safe and my instinct will serve me wellI was scheduled to walk in June 2015, but I am going to put it off a year and find a walking buddy for my delayed trip in 2016. I don't think I can shake the taser and other issues that are being talked about right now. I don't think it matters if I am a solo female, a few men have also mentioned issues they had.
I am keeping positive thoughts for Denise and will be very happy when she is located. Many encouraging thoughts towards her loving brother, keep the faith.
