I have been told that a few (2-4) years ago there was a story on TV
about a baby sitter who disappeared while babysitting at the La Posada
Inn
(hotel?) in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  I believed this occurred sometime
between 1949 and 1953.  Apparently the manager or owner of the inn
noticed that the door to a "cottage" was open and upon investigating,
discovered that the babysitter was gone, leaving the young child
alone.  I have been told that I was the child that was left and was
wondering if I could get a copy of the story.  I would assume that the
original news story probably appeared in the Santa Fe New Mexican at
the time of the disappearance.

Hi pamie-ga,

When you say, this was a story on TV, do you know if it was on a news
program? Can you narrow down the type of program it might have been
(e.g. a compilation of unsolved mysteries or something similiar)? This
may help us track down the original story better. Thanks.

Regards,

I don't know for sure what type of program, but I think it was one
like "Unsolved Mysteries".  I think ti was a national broadcast
because my sister in Salt Lake City was the one who told me about it. 
Unfortunately, she couldn't remember what program or station.

The UNSOLVED MYSTERIES TV SHOW has a website at www.unsolved.com and
they have a contact link where you can send the show an e-mail
message.  I suggest you contact them with the brief information you
have--perhaps someone on the staff can check their files to see if
there is anything resembling the information you mentioned.  Since the
show, I assume, is currently out of production, I can't guarantee that
your e-mail will be received, since I don't know if the e-mail address
is still good, but since the show appears in syndication on other
cable stations, the Cosgrove-Meurer Production company that produces
the show might still be taking e-mail about it.

If you don't hear anything from them, you should contact a newspaper
in Santa Fee to ask them to check their files or perhaps a
genealogical researcher could check the police files to see if that
information is available.  Good luck in your quest for information--I
somehow feel you are going to be lucky in finding out more about it.

SINCERELY,
