FREDONIA, Pa. -- Within a few weeks a picture of Sandra Kay Baker -- the Delaware Township woman who disappeared last year -- will be distributed throughout the country.
The Nation's Missing Children Organization and Center for Missing Adults is featuring Baker's picture in its current newsletter, which circulates nationwide.
Baker's family and friends are hoping someone will see the publication, recognize Baker and shed some light on her whereabouts.
Baker was last seen by her fianc & eacute;e, William T. Crea Jr., the morning of May 25 at the Sheetz store on Route 18.
Disappeared: State police have said they believe Baker met with foul play. Neither she nor the car she was driving have been seen since she left the convenience store. Police said Crea told them she had called him that day and told him she was in danger and would be out of touch for a few days.
"We just want to know," said Linda Henry of Greenville, Baker's best friend. "We want to know if there's someone out there who saw something. If there's anyone who has any idea where she might be. We just want to know where she is and what happened to her. We want to know the truth."
Henry, who has known Baker for some 20 years, has been working to find the woman who left two grown children and two grandchildren.
Henry has distributed posters, launched a green ribbon campaign, and given out buttons displaying Baker's picture to anybody willing to wear them.
Late last year Henry persuaded Dean Dairy to put Baker's picture and information about her on its milk cartons, which go to all Dean Dairy customers within a 150-mile radius and into the eastern part of the state.
"We'll do whatever we can, whatever it takes," Henry said. "We just want her found. It's hard not having her here. But it's even harder not knowing where she is."
Didn't go willingly: Baker's daughter, Shedara Kribs of Tampa, Fla., said she knows her mother wouldn't walk away from her family and friends without notice.
"I believe she's gone," she said. "It's hard to hope anymore. I don't really know what to do. I just want to know for sure. My daughter keeps asking me why we can't bury Grandma, and I have to say because we can't. We don't have a body. It's hard, but you keep going."
Recently Baker's son, Sean Kribs, traveled from Florida to Delaware Township to retrieve some of his mother's belongings from the apartment she shared with Crea. That apartment is in the basement of Crea's parents' home.
"It took a long time, but we have her photo albums and personal things, and that's important," her daughter said. "Now if we could just make sense of it all. None of it makes any sense."
