Looking for a friend do you know her?

Detroit comedian and entertainer, Francine Dent. Worked in Bert's Place for a while. She's missing. No phone, no address. Thanks.

**Zacha341** · August-01-18, 06:45 PM

Try adding Velma as her first name [[Velma Francine Dent) as a deep search option. Standard search on bing.com show her first name as 'Velma'.

Or just someone you have lost contact with over the years?

I hope you’re able to catch up with her. Sometimes people just want to take off and not be found. The thought has crossed my mind once or twice.

3501 Woodward is the Orchestra Tower seniors' building at Woodward & Stimson. Perhaps someone there may have some information about her whereabouts.

I live in Chicago and have sent letters to her apartment & Bert's place. No reply. Phone # disconnnected. No return mail. "worried".

**Zacha341** · August-05-18, 10:02 AM

Perhaps she passed away. Per what I could find she was over 60. But usually that turns up under death records, many of which are public.

**Bigb23** · August-05-18, 11:34 AM

At least we have the power of Dyes to delve into the end of the lady's life.

Me, there's nothing to see here, move along.

Not being disrespectful are you? I mean, somebody is trying to locate someone. Hope you never find yourself in the same position....

**Bigb23** · August-09-18, 10:13 AM

Not being disrespectful are you?

No, I'm not. But with easy access to public records, while being monitored by 300+ corporations online, for eternity, some people are desperately trying to minimize their public lives.

Valid point, I have to say.

Thanks Ray - you spry elder of this forum. Can you upload some Harley DPD photos again?

Point taken.

I found this Facebook page where they gave Francine a birthday party a couple years ago. Maybe you could contact the creator?

I'm pretty sure there's a V'ger Star Trek joke in there somewhere.

When will this thread be locked/deleted? It's unsavory and not in the realm of the site. This is not a singles/personals site.

**jcole** · August-10-18, 05:40 PM

This is not the first time someone has asked for help locating someone on here. And what is "unsavory" about someone trying to find and old friend that they are concerned about? Also, the woman was a stand up comedian in Detroit, so she's not an unknown

I'm sure if some anonymous stranger on an internet forum somewhere asked for YOUR home address and whereabouts, you'd be totally cool with that information being given out to an anonymous person without your knowledge or consent. Right?

The fact is, we don't know who the person is who is asking for this information, what relationship [[if any) they have with this woman, or what their intentions are. And yet everyone seems to be happy to just hand over this woman's information freely without even caring who it is going to or why. What if it was an ex-boyfriend or a stalker who was asking? What if this woman WANTS to be left alone?

**jcole** · August-14-18, 06:23 AM

This isn't information that is NOT readily available to anyone who knows how to do a good internet search, so I wouldn't exactly call it "handing over information freely"; Google has already done that , as well as the Whitepages, Spokeo and dozens of other search engines. Not to mention her presence on YouTube and Facebook having info SHE put there or is aware of. Apparently, now that she doesn't WANT to be found, she is hiding herself pretty well. As anyone who wants to can do IF they know what they're doing. Maybe you should Google yourself and see what breadcrumbs are out there about you. You'll be shocked to know that with just your name I can find where you live, your voting preferences and who you have lived with for the past 10 yrs. Unless you took measures to block it.

Oh, I didn't know that because she was an amateur comedian 10-20 years ago means that she wants internet strangers to have her home address and other identifying information, in perpetuity, for the rest of her life. I totally wasn't aware that one agreed to give up any semblance of personal privacy when becoming an amateur stand-up comedian! Thanks for setting the record straight.

That there are resources out there to find this information does not mean YOU personally, or anyone else posting here, has to do the OP's dirty work for him. If it's so easy, then why did the OP even start this thread at all? Clearly he needed help to find a woman's address...and you were all to happy to give it to him, no questions asked. Do you even know who this person is that you just gave a potentially-vulnerable woman's home address to?

But that doesn't mean reposting it on an open forum.

And there are a great many past celebrities, major, minor, national and local who have left the business and no longer want to be public. There also could be some legal issues for this site which is why I don't understand why this thread hasn't been deleted.

Basically, mind you own freaking business and quit stalking people.
