1) Were there any issues in your relationship with Jasmine, that you feel might cause her to run away?

There were no problems at home. We are a close family. Jasmine and I were very close and everyone that knows us will declare this.

2) Did police offer any reasons for calling her a “runaway” except for the fact she went missing at age 18?

Her age is the only thing that they used to declare her a runaway.

3) Do you feel the classification of “runaway” is correct for your situation?

I feel if they had used missing, maybe even disappearance would have been more appropriate. I also feel getting it in the media sooner would have aided in locating her even if she is a runaway.

4) Do you know if a different classification would have brought more resources to bear in this case?

I do feel a different classification would have helped. The public does not respond to hearing about a runaway with the same interest. I continue to have regard for the law enforcement. I never had any previous contact with them. I’ve had only one speeding ticket. I do realize, with this being my child everything they have done will never seem enough.
