The Search for Aubrey Sacco, Missing After Hiking in Nepal (Video): Would You Help Get Aubrey Home?

Paul and Connie Sacco need your help to in their search to find their daughter Aubrey Sacco, who is missing after going hiking in Nepal. Aubrey, 21, was a recent Colorado college graduate when she headed overseas for a five-month jaunt through India, Sri Lanka and eventually Nepal, according to CNN. But the 23-year-old young woman is now missing, presumably in Langtang National Park.

Were you in Nepal in?

If you or anyone you know made the trek to Nepal during the month of April of 2010, even if you aren't sure if you saw Aubrey or not, please contact this writer.

Aubrey may have smiled at you, threw up a hand wave, or greeted you with her typical friendliness if you happened to encounter her around April 20, 2010 in Nepal this year. But if you saw her after that you are one of the people her parents would desperately like to talk to, as Aubrey is now missing and you might inadvertently know something--or have seen something--that could help them locate Aubrey.

Langtang National Park: Were you there earlier this year?

Aubrey was headed to Langtang National Park right before she disappeared for good, so if you or a friend of yours was making a trip to that park while in Nepal in April, you could be an even bigger help, even if you don't think you saw Aubrey.

The Maoist were fairly active in and around Kathmandu during the period Aubrey was in Langtang, and they could have been in the vicinity of Aubrey as she made her way through Langtang as well, on April 22. You may have noticed them if you were there. But it is also possible that Aubrey made an encounter with someone else too. You could maybe share information about that person if you saw them with Aubrey during your time in Nepal.
