Mother Of Missing Troy Woman Launches Own Search For Daughter

The mother and daughter lost several family members in a December fire in their Orange County home in 2001, Napoli-Oquendo said. [...] Alkaramla has suffered from post-traumatic stress at this time of year. A co-worker from Verdile's Restaurant in Lansingburgh dropped her near her home at 116 Washington St. On Monday, a neighbor found documents with Alkaramla's personal information on the street. Inside the otherwise abandoned building was a single room with a curtain, chair, table, ashtray and cable hookup, according to Napoli-Oquendo, who said she has combed the area herself since getting into town on Wednesday. Troy police spokesman Dan DeWolf said earlier Friday that police have found no further leads to Alkaramla's whereabouts, despite a search of alleys and cross streets near the young woman's home.
