Soren here is my brother's reply.
Soren: May name is Ron Simmer. I am Dave Simmer's younger brother. He forwarded me your forum and picture of your missing step daughter. I live in Southern California, in Marina del Rey area. Many run aways head towards Hollywood, and Los Angeles. My wife Candace and I do a great deal of volunteer work through AA at local missions and homeless shelters. What I thought I'd do with your permission is post her picture here, along with maybe posting something on local missing kids blotter. Like you said could be a long shot but anything is worth trying in my opinion.
I have a daughter 21 and a step daughter 21. Both went through some difficult times at around the 16 age area. Our prayers are with you, and trust in God to protect her.
all our love
Candace and Ron Simmer -
