Here is the Description of the background for this series (quoted from the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]):

Quote :
I met Kara at Connor's Bog Skiijor park in March 2011, when both of us were crawling though the trees after the same geocache. Kara suffered from depression in the past, but had it well managed. Kara was a teacher at a local elementary school. She It wasn't until September and the start of school that she started to complain of problems. She contracted a chest cold that she couldn't kick and had a persistent cough. The coughing kept her awake and when she could sleep, she had terrible nightmares. She started to lose track of time and the line between reality and fantasy. Something terrible happened. Seven children from Kara's school were kidnapped right from the playground under the nose of one of the teachers. No trace of them has been found. For a month or so prior, the kids had claimed to see a dark figure or man in the woods behind the school. Kara began a secret search for the kidnapper. She believed someone, or something, was after her, stalking her in parking lots, vandalizing her classroom, and lurking around her home at night. On October 13th, Kara was walking her golden retriever Max in a local park and was assaulted. She did not know her attacker, and her description of him was somewhat convoluted. She described him as being tall, bald, and wearing a suit. She also claimed he was surrounded by waiving arms or branches or smoke alternately. She became irrational, irritable, and reclusive, avoiding contact with her friends and quitting her job. She even gave her dog to a neighbor, claiming he was no longer safe with her. Kara claimed she was planning to return to Texas, where she is from, but did not close out her apartment and did not tell any of her friends that she was leaving. She was last seen on October 14th, and it is believed she left town on the 15th.
Since then, Kara has not returned any phone calls and has made no contact with anyone. (See [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] page for more information and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for updates)
In December, I decided I had to take a more proactive stance in finding my friend. This page will serve as an archive of what I find.
PLEASE HELP. If you see anything, contact me. There is a lot out there and I need more eyes and hands than I have. Someone knows something. Someone has seen Kara or recognizes something about the abduction of her students.
Join the search and help bring Kara and her students home.

I'm not 100% sure about this. It looks like it could have potential, but that was a long, monotone and sameish video. It's usually a bad idea to start off with am opening video that's 10 minutes of someone sitting down, which leads me to question how well this has actually been thought out. The acting is OK, pretty standard for a vlog, and the story is fairly good, if not 100% original. Favourite part is the kids drawings though. Jesus, disturbed much?
I think I'll watch some more before I decide if I'm really going to follow it, but the entries should get a lot more active for that to happen.

I have to say, the use of the website was a great touch and adds to the ARG aspect.

It´s funny that you say that, because actually when you look at the channel you can see that she has 2 versions of the first video up: a 14 min version and a cut down 10 min version

You´re right with that.

I only watched the video that you embedded, as I should really be trying to sleep now. I agree with what Steven said about the website as well, a very nice touch.
