Heather is Missing


Recommended Posts

This is serious, guys. About a week ago, <b>Heather "LEGOGirl" Braaten</b> was reported by her mother to be missing. She was a well-known member of the Lego community on several fansites, an active member of SEALUG and regular BrickCon attendee and a good friend of mine. You can read the official missing person report <a href='http://www.waspc.org/mp/missing.php?wac=12M0004558' target='offsite'>here</a>. If you have any information on her location or have seen her recently, you're encouraged to contact the <a href='http://www.seattle.gov/police/' target='offsite'>Seattle Police Department</a>, leave a comment in the talkback topic (which I will send to Lino directly) or on Lino's photo of Heather <a href=' Heather Braaten is Missing target='offsite'>here</a>. You're also encouraged to send him an email at linotopia(AT)hotmail(DOT)com. He is in contact with Heather's Mom and will be passing along any information. Please keep Heather in your prayers. Thanks for your concern, everyone.

Wow, I think this is the first time we´ve had news like this on the front page. This is very serious indeed. There is barely anything I can do living on another continent but I wish you and the police the best of luck for finding her. Let´s hope she turns out to be alright.-Gata signoff.jpg

Not a whole lot to go by as far as the description goes...

There's also a link to a picture of her in the news post.I hope that Heather is found soon, and that wherever she is, she's okay. I'm pretty far from Seattle, but I'll have my eye open anyway.-:t::n:

Thanks for posting this here, Micah! I've been sharing and reposting this everywhere I can. Her deleting of her social network and sharing accounts seemed odd; hopefully the disappearance isn't connected to this. I hope she's safe.

This is horrible, I hope shes found safe :(My heart goes out to those who are close to her. Its never a good experience when you think you're about to lose someone close to you.

Even when trapped by Karma's cycle, the dreams we left behind will open the door! Even if the universe stands in our way,


our seething blood will determine what will be! We'll break through time and space, and defy all who would stop us to take hold of our path!

Not a problem. I'm really worried about her and just trying to do my part to make sure she's found.I'd encourage everyone to follow HH's example. Get the word out to everyone you know, involved in the community or not. Every bit helps.Thanks guys!

I found out about her disappearance when an Administrator on a Brickfilming forum said that he actually knew her in real life.I hope she is found alive and well. My prayers to you,Heather.-CDP

Same. I'll pray that she turns out well and alive, keep an open eye, and spread this news. :(

Just wanted to give you all an update, though it's not something that I'd like to do.Heather's body has been found.I'm really not sure what to say here. She was a great friend and always fun to talk to, though I regret that my only opportunity to do so was at BrickCon. I wish I could have seen her at least one more time.Rest in peace, Heather. The Lego community (and indeed, the rest of the world) won't be quite the same without you. I'll be praying for you and your family.

Things like this happen way too often. Actually, they shouldn´t happen a single time. It´s hard to find fitting words and no words could make up for this loss anyway, so I´ll just give my condolences to her family and to you and all her other friends. I hope whoever did this can be brought to justice. May I suggest that you post this on the front page?-Gata signoff.jpg Edited by Gatanui

This is truly saddening, disheartening, awful news. While I never met her, I know that her presence in the LEGO community and in the world will be missed.My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to her family. My fervent hope is that whoever perpetrated this heinous crime will be arrested and that justice will prevail.

Oh, no. Rest her soul. My heart goes out to her friends and family; I never knew her, but like Gata said, this sort of thing should never happen in the first place.

Although this is indeed horrible, I guess in a sense we got lucky in terms of the finding of the body. Lots of missing people's bodies are found months or years after the disappearance.As Sumiki said - I hope the person who did this will be punished severely.

Doing so now, thanks. I was trying to find a way to add an update to the original entry but I figured it would be safer to just post here. (And just to clarify, guys, there are no details yet on how or why she died. This may not have been a murder, unfortunately.)

I've never heard of her. But man, that's sad.Heavy Metal Salute goes out to her.*Starts playing Cemetary Gates by, of course, Pantera*RIP. I really don't know what to say. With other people, I would be a total ##### about stuff like this.But yeah, I never heard of or knew of her. I hope her family won't dread on the worst. I remember how I was like that. R.I.P.

I don't know really know what to say. When things like this come around all I can really do is pray for the family. Rest in peace, Heather.-don't touch my pocket protector
