This is not the type of letter that should be posted to a mailing list, but
it does have to do with family and genealogy. And I do have roots in all the
counties that these lists cover. I beg you all to forgive me for posting
this to the list. If I am barred from the list for misposting, I will have
to accept that consequence.
This evening is not a good time for me. I apologize for sounding like a cry
baby, but maybe that is what I am. Do I have any friends/cousins out there
who live in or near Orlando, Florida or who can give me suggestion on what to
do?
This evening marks five years since my son's wife Linda disappeared with
their two children. They had lived with us for several years, so we were
very close. Evidently, Mark and Linda were having troubles; he was drinking
and she was doing drugs and running around on him. Linda accused Mark of
beating her up and had him arrested. They took her and the kids to a
shelter. Her tears smeared the "bruise" under her eye. She promised us they
would be back at our house the next evening. We have not seen nor heard from
them since.
I don't know how other people would react to a situation like this, but it
has broken my heart completely. I no longer am able to sleep or even
concentrate. Perhaps I would be okay if I could at least find where they are
for sure and maybe talk to them on the phone or receive a letter.
Kevin Caudle was born February 13, 1987 but I'm sure he's at least two years
behind in school.
Susie Q Caudle was born April 15, 1989.
Their mother is Linda Lisa Pittman Caudle unless she has remarried. Our son
was never notified of a divorce though. My son did recently receive child
support papers from Orlando, Florida, so I presume they are living there.
Linda was born May 2, 1968.
If any of you live there, could you please try to find her and ask that the
kids be allowed to write me a letter or phone us collect.
Our address is:
Bud & Liz Caudle
1014 W. Mansur
Guthrie, OK 73044
Telephone: 405-282-2398
At least, pray that the kids are okay and also for my mental and physical
health. This is getting to me.
