Law enforcement has asked that this photo be shared everywhere. Celina Cass, age 11, is missing from her home in West Stewartstown, New Hampshire. She was last seen on Monday, July 25, 2011, around 9:00 p.m. Celina is described as five feet, five inches tall, weighing about ninety-five pounds, with hazel eyes and waist-length brown hair. She was last seen wearing a pink shirt, a pink pullover, blue shorts, and shoes. If you have any information about her disappearance or whereabouts, please contact the New Hampshire State Police at 603-846-3333 immediately.
This kind of tragedy hits especially hard in small towns like ours, where everyone knows everyone, and neighbors still wave when they pass each other on the road. West Stewartstown isn’t a place where children just vanish—it’s quiet, close-knit, the sort of community where people still leave their doors unlocked and kids ride bikes down Main Street until the porch lights come on. That’s why Celina’s disappearance has shaken the entire North Country to its core.
Post Script: August 1, 2011 – After a massive search effort involving local law enforcement, state police from several states, Fish and Game officers, the FBI, Border Patrol, volunteers from across the region, and even the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the news we all dreaded came this morning. Divers discovered Celina’s body in the Connecticut River, just half a mile from her home.
There are no words big enough for this kind of heartbreak. A child is gone, and a family—and a community—has been forever changed. Please pray for comfort and strength for everyone touched by this unimaginable loss. And pray, too, that those responsible for this terrible act are brought swiftly to justice.
Tonight, hug your children a little tighter. For Celina, and for every parent whose heart now carries an empty space where laughter used to be.
