Knowone has heard or seen Stephanie yet. The police says they cant do anything else until they get a new lead. This is sad, they have done nothing to find this girl. They think she may have just wanted to leave. But her family knows she would not go this long and not contact someone. Its not looking good at all. Please pray for her and her family. Thanks alot...

It has now been over three weeks and know one has heard anything from Stephanie. She would never do this to her son and the rest of her family. The police just isnt doing enough,and what they have done theyve taken their old sweet time doing it and have just thrown the case from hand to hand. Please pray for her safe return. Thanks Alot

i know this girl, we were good friends for a long time. it's very unlike her to leave her baby for this long. i just don't even know what to think. i hope she's ok.

I have known Stephanie for a while and I have to say this seems supicious. She would never go anywhere without her little boy. Stephanie adored her son.

I'm sorry I made a mistake about the town. I should have posted Portsmouth.Her name is Amber Howard and she has been missing since August 2007. It just seems to me that there have been a lot of missing and murdered women in this region lately. We have a large number of sex offenders in our area and I'm a little concerned for all females. I hope Ms. Blanton is found safe and unharmed. God be with her and her family.

I am from the gallipolis area as well and I havent heard or a pregnant missing lady. I hope Ms. Blanton is safe. I wonder if she left of her own free will or if it is more than that. They really didnt give us much information to go on.

I hope she brought back safe and sound my thoughts and prayers are with the family!!! best of luck to the Blanton family

It's a shame you had to wait 20 days to post her picture and story. If it were my daughter I would hope the police and media would put it up long before then. I hope she is found soon and is okay. My prayers go out to the family.

What pregnant woman from Gallipolis? I have never heard about this one? Is there any pictures of her? I live in that area.

My prayers to Ms. Blanton and her family. I'm a little concerned about the number of missing women in this area. We have a pregnant woman from Gallopilis, a high school girl and now this young lady. Leah was killed by only God knows who and I think we all need to be more diligent about safety. God help this region.
