I wonder if they had set up some form of caller id on their home phone. If they had the return number they could find out exactly which payphone was used, and it seems like Elan had the connections to be able to accomplish that. Even without that the area code would still narrow the search a lot.

Having lived in Manhattan for 20+ years (from East Hartford CT originally) the idea of finding anyone in the city based on a photo or description or whatever is just mind boggling. I guess if I were looking for a teen who'd come into town I'd go wander around Astor Place, East Village, around Port Authority maybe.... but the task would be so enormous. I mean even if the person is in the neighborhood you are looking I the chances of finding them are just so small it would seem. Also — Joe starts hitchhiking in Maine and by chance lands in NYC — he's not from there — so how/why would Elan even know to look there? Did the sister tell the parents he was in in the big apple?

Again, thanks so much for sharing this with us - honestly is such a privilege to be able to hear your story from you. Obviously the Great Energy was v influential during your time at Elan - does religion/spirituality/a higher power play a role in your life now since Elan?

Your response about sleep deprivation vs hunger makes perfect sense. I'm sure that sleeping through the day after pulling also had the added bonus that you didn't have to feel hungry all day long. I'm so sorry you went through this. Thank you for shedding a light on this totally fucked up business that destroys peoples lives.
