Social Media Helping Authorities With Amber Alerts
Facebook post, tip from hotel clerk led to rescue of missing Maryland girl
FLORENCE, S.C. — It had been less than a day since Carol Gause ended a multi-state hunt for a man accused of a Baltimore County slaying and his 11-year-old daughter, but she was reluctant to take any credit. The trim, 53-year-old woman, who wore a silver cross embellished with small diamonds around her neck, said she believes God orchestrated Caitlyn Virts’ rescue. “I am not the hero; the hero is those who started prayers for that girl,” Gause said early Saturday afternoon. “It was because of those prayers that she was found. The Lord only used me and used the woman that posted on Facebook to take care of this little girl. “It wasn’t by chance that they came to my motel. It wasn’t by chance that I rented to him and it wasn’t be chance that I saw it on Facebook.” READ MORE HERE
