CELEB Central ~ July 24 2011
The HOLLYWOOD Obsession
written by: Caroline Forbes
It's been two weeks since the disappearance of pop-sensation Elena Gilbert and only three days since her safe return. Already fans are flocking to her family home in Mystic Falls, Virgina, where she has been released after an intensive hospitalization.
Reports from the New York City Police Department indicate that an anonymous phone call led detectives to a penthouse apartment owned by Charlie Rogers, who police say is an alias that has sprung up dead ends all across the board. None of the identifying information Elena Gilbert provided could be verified by the detectives as reports have come in that she was being given mind-altering substances in captivity. The landlord of the building was also approached by law enforcement and gave conflicting statements.
None of the detectives or federal agents assigned to the case could be reached for comment. CELEB Central has reached out to those responsible for management of Elena Gilbert, but due to the pending breach of contract lawsuit they have taken out against the aforementioned defendant, they are unable to release a statement as this time.
Fans had written to her tirelessly during her absence and even more profusely upon news of her location.
There are still some very puzzling factors in this case which mimic those dealing with many well-known stalking victims and their pursuers.
Isobel Flemming, a scientist and microbiologist working for the USA federal testing lab assigned to Elena's case, had reported that the fingerprints found at the scene of Elena Gilbert's abduction did not match any criminal registered in the system. There is virtually no information whatsoever available to the criminal detectives that may aid them in identifying, apprehending and arresting her attacker. Another head-scratching aspect of this case is the condition that the apartment Elena was being kept at was found in by FBI. Apparently, the entire area was outfitted in advanced security systems and extreme measures were taken in the reinforcement of the internal structure to prevent escape. Elena was found alone in the penthouse and there was no evidence that anyone else had ever been there at all. Who alerted authority as to Elena Gilbert's whereabouts? Do they have any link to the criminal responsible?
Perhaps the most disruptive consequence of this unsettling case is the fact that Elena's attacker is still at large and potentially waiting to strike again.
What does this mean for our nation and international concerns for child welfare? After all, Elena Gilbert is only seventeen years old and a dependent minor as observed by and of laws under all fifty states of the United States of America.
Perhaps the bigger question is this: What's with the obsession in our culture about celebrities and their lifestyles? These obsessions that lead to some of the sickest and deadliest attacks in documented history. . .

Blog Post #2239 - 12 June 2011
Assemble, fellow EG fans! We have been given a purpose here, and that purpose is to fight! Stand with me now and say it "We will find Elena Gilbert." Except, in order to do that, we have to all be willing to make a commitment. It wont be easy, but we know what happened now. Some of you (Ok-SluttiGal09) have been working extremely hard to collect evidence for our group. As the proud Fan Club Leader of EDFC, I am ready to reveal some startling information: We have pieced together the horrible tragedy of Elena's abduction . . . BY ALIENS. Yes, it's true. We know now that she has been beamed up to a planet not so far away that is building a new world: a world which needs a pop superstar just like any other one. The thing is, we know that Elena belongs here with us. So, if any of you will keep your eyes open for some crop circles tonight, we've had a wonderful tip from an anonymous member (Ok- Work_it_out_Mommy) that there will be activity tonight. Come one and come all to and let us stand together and find out favorite songstress! She has been taken from us unfairly and unjustly by the superhumans of the intergalactic universe, and we must get her back.
Sincerely,
DaBiebsLovr2

I cannot go another day without saying this . . . writing this, thinking this.
He paused in his writing, staring down at the milky-white page and then sighed, dragging a hand through his hair. She didn't deserve this again. And so he slid the stationary back into the envelope and underneath his pillow once more. Another day, another night. Without her.
