I remember hearing about her last year, and thinking she sounded amazing. I've always wondered what happened to her; it's just one of extremely sad and extremely romantic endings. Her voice is beautiful.
That's sad. It's probable she may have been found but was given a Jane Doe status if no one was looking for her.
That happened to a girl my sister went to school with. She drowned herself in lake Michigan but her family didn't know for TEN YEARS what happened to her. It wasn't until some lazy cop retired that they talked to the guy who replaced him and he did a little work and figured it out. :(
"After a decade or so spent living and working in New York, she became discouraged and moved to Ann Arbor, and for the next 12 years edited a scholarly journal on International Conflict Resolution for the University of Michigan. In 1974, she packed her things and drove away, and hasn't been heard from since."
Fascinating!
BTW, am I the only one who clicked on this post hoping to read about sneakers?
Recently, I had a (very conservative) friend go on a tear about how useless NPR was and how he didn't want his tax dollars going towards it. I wish he could appreciate the awesomeness of pieces like this, because it's truly why I heart NPR and have done since I was a little girl.
@thatonegirlsays: Next time politely explain that his money is probably going towards a tax break for a Pharmaceutical company so they can develop better boner pills.
That's how I always deal with idiots who complain about arts funding
"Are Dov Charney and his PR team spending hours online posting to newsgroups, buying Google Ads, and sock-puppeting domain names to smear the L.A. lawyer involved in most of the company's current lawsuits?"
Wouldn't surprise me. I bitched about AA on a friend's blog and in flew a PR bod to "correct me" on a few facts.

@LaFemme: I was actually thinking along the early Anna Nicole days, myself. It's funny how our first reactions were more along the lines of "emulator/ impersonator" than that of the original.
Maybe Helen's ambassadorial duties will include running around in underwear on the beach, clutching that bag to her breasts while looking back seductively, then almost-sexing against a tree? It might help boost sales. But that's just me.

Alas, that would never, ever work for me. I've tried, and .... no. just no. Too damn painful.
