Money being raised to help find missing S. Tahoe woman
An event to raise money to find a missing South Lake Tahoe woman is scheduled for July 24 fro 5-8pm at Classic Cue, 1961 Lake Tahoe Blvd., South Tahoe.
On July 1, Marie Hanson left with her neighbors to go to the annual Rainbow Gathering near Stevenson, Wash. The last tim she was seen at the gathering was July 6 or July 7. Her neighbors lost track of her and returned to Tahoe without her, bringing her camping gear, her wallet, phone and medicines home with them.
Marie Hanson
Hanson is still missing. She is a loving wife, mother and grandmother, who is active in her church and community.
A website has been set up to help get the word out.
The money raised from the event will go to hiring a private investigator.
Thank you so much for keeping Marie’s story alive. The family also thanks the SLT community for their enormous support.
If you can’t make it on Sunday and would like to help us get search and rescue up on the mountain, or a private detective donations can be sent to: Marie Hanson Search Fund c/o El Dorado Savings Bank PO Box 14545, S.L.Tahoe CA 96151 or visit our website http://www.mariehansonmissing.com to donate using PayPal.
Again, thank you for your support,
Nancy
Isn’t it misleading to tell the public your raising money to hire search & rescue and private detective when in fact you’ve found people to volenteer for you?
Susan, volunteers are giving their time and will probably end up paying for most of their expenses out of their own pockets. Volunteers, I’m sure, are for the most part ordinary people like you and me and can always use a little financial help while they search for the missing lady. Printers have ink and paper to buy, plane tickets need to be purchased, not to mention all the other expenses it takes to move people around…and people gotta eat! Get the idea…?
I think you should retract what you said and/or apologize for making such an accusation.
some rainbow family members have been involved in trying to get information and with other types of assistance. people have been at the site doing clean up and would inform the sheriff’s office or the hanson family if they uncovered any information which might be relevant. however we are not professional investigators so our ability to help in this matter is limited.
