  1. Is it possible for you to put me in contact with this woman, Leanne. She can call me at: 1-888-861-3018 or (514) 661-3014 or maybe I can call her somewhere if I can have the information, or write. I have a friend, Christopher Karasek, who thinks he knows her from 2003, in Edmonton. They were very intimate at that period and at that time she would have become pregnant. He really wants to know if the child, that may possibly be his, is okay, what’s his name, and if everything is going well for him. Any picture would be really appreciated. My friend, Christopher, is presently incarcerated for a long time period and he would really needs to know. Thank you so much for any help. Lorraine Dubois
