(Sorry about this everyone) I recently received a missive about a missing girl named Ashley Flores and traced the source through forwarded emails as far back as your email address.
The Ashley Flores story started as a childs prank that moved at the speed of the internet and beacame a hoax. You can read more about this story at Snopes Urban Legends Reference Pages: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/missing/ashleyflores.asp "... it turned out that apparently Ashley Flores is a real girl, but her "missing" status was one concocted as a kids' prank. ..." About.com also has some background material about the origins of this prank at myspace.com: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_ashley_flores_missing.htm You might wish to notify those who received your original email. The well intended spreading of such hoaxes can divert resources away from the search for kids who really are missing and endangered.
