Dear CPAC!

Please put a picture and some information about my missing daughter and her kidnapper on your web page. Heidi Al-Omary is 5 years old and was abducted by her non-custodial father, possibly to Saudi Arabia. However, since he left his American wife here, he may be hiding out in the US. Her relatives live in the Hoboken, NJ, area and in Michigan. He has relatives in and around Fairfax, VA. He also has two brothers in Malmo, Sweden. If he is in this country, he will probably do as he has done since moving here in 1989--work for cash to avoid taxes and being traced. My ex-husband made it a habit of going to auto auctions, purchasing used cars for cash, then sending the cars on to friends in the Middle East, thus making a profit for himself that was almost untraceable. He also worked for an Islamic Center in our area and was paid with untraceable and untaxable Saudi Arabian government funds, and he may be teaching or acting as the religious Director of a mosque or an Islamic school. He has two college degrees in Computer Science and experience teaching Math at the college level. But he may also be teaching lower grades. Heidi may be attending a private religious (Islamic) kindergarten.

Heidi has been missing since August 13 or 14, 1997 from Jonesboro, Arkansas. I can send you color or black and white pictures by e-mail if your browser will support them, or you can refer to the following web pages for pictures, details, law enforcement contact numbers, etc. The "Heidi's Hope" site is still under construction. Soon my husband will add Hatam Al-Shabrami to the site when his great-grandmother Marilyn Farrow mails me more details about him. We met Hatam's mother Jennifer Martin from Little Rock on the "Sally Jessy Show" a few weeks back. Hatam has been missing in Saudi Arabia for 18 months now....

Jennifer and I have been more concerned and distraught than usual this weekend about all of the estimated over 2000 American children and 10000 European/Canadian/Australian/other children who are being held hostage in Saudi Arabia or other Middle Eastern countries. With the saber-rattling that Saddam Hussein is again engaging in, our children are definitely in harm's way. The terrible thing is that their fathers don't care about them, or they would not have endangered or traumatized the children in this awful way. Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing. The kids are worth it. I keep going by remembering what Jesus said: "Suffer the children to come unto me." And they will.

Love,
Margaret McClain
