'Have you seen this girl?'
Austin mother searches for her missing 18-year-old daughter.

Saturday, July 15, 2006
Every day for the past week, in the area near Rundberg Lane and Interstate 35 in North Austin, Elizabeth Harris has searched for her missing 18-year-old daughter.
In hotels and stores. Under I-35. In ditches. In trash bins. She posts fliers. She approaches strangers.
Roxanne Paultaf Was last seen by boyfriend on July 7, mother says.
"This is my daughter," Harris, 41, says, holding up a photograph of Roxanne Paultaf. "Have you seen this girl?"
Police said Friday that attempts to find Paultaf have been unsuccessful, and the department took the rare step of releasing a news release for a missing person.
Paultaf's on-and-off boyfriend of two years was the last one who had seen her, at about 8:30 p.m. July 7, Harris said.
The couple had been staying at the Budget Inn near East Rundberg Lane and I-35, spending time together alone, Harris said.
They had an argument, the boyfriend told Harris the next day. Paultaf walked out. He went after her. She told him to leave her alone. Later, he went looking. He couldn't find her.
A few hours after his call, Harris called the police.
"My mind's going crazy," Harris said Friday. "I don't know what's going on."
"I'm fearing the worst has happened. I'm trying not to," she said, crying. "I just need to know where she's at."
And it's not like Paultaf not to call, Harris said. Mother and daughter speak often, at least every other day. But Paultaf hasn't contacted her family or friends since July 7.
"She hasn't even tried to call her own cell phone," which was left in the hotel with all of her belongings, Harris said.
Only her ID was missing.
The eldest of five children and on track to earn a GED, Paultaf is talented, artistic, bright, beautiful and helpful at the family's French Place home, Harris said, a girl with dreams who aspires to study fashion and interior design.
Paultaf, who is 5-foot-4 and 124 pounds with green eyes and brown hair, was last seen wearing white shorts, a pink tank top and flip-flops, police said. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
"She's our lifeline," Harris said. "I've got to find her."

Search team finds no sign of missing teen
03:28 PM CDT on Thursday, July 20, 2006 By RUDY KOSKI / KVUE News
A desperate search for a missing teenager continued Thursday in North Austin.
Roxanne Paltauf, 18, disappeared nearly two weeks ago. She was last seen at the Budget Inn, near east Rundberg and Interstate 35.
On Thursday, Paltauf's mother, along with a team of volunteer firefighters from Bastrop County, set out to find her.
Russell Voigt recruited about a dozen co-workers from the Five Points Volunteer Fire Department to help with the search Voigt is a family friend and has known Paltauf since she was a small child. For him the search is deeply personal.
"Yeah, I know the girl, and I don't think she just walked off, I think there is foul play here," he said.
According to a recent statement from the Austin Police Department, Paltauf got into an argument with her boyfriend, and walked out of the hotel where the two were staying. Paltauf's mother, Elizabeth Harries, says she refuses to give up hope.
"She is alive and we are going to keep looking for her," she said.
The search team plans to return, but a date for another search has not yet been set.
Anyone with information about Roxanne Paltauf's whereabouts is urged to contact the Austin Police Department or CrimeStoppers at 472-TIPS.
