    UPDATE

    ************************

     

     

     

    University of California-Davis officials say  doctoral student Starry Sprenkle along with her 20 month year old daughter and husband are among those missing in the wake of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti.

     

    Sprenkle lives in a home in Deschapelles, a two-hour drive from the major city of Port-au-Prince. According to her family, a text message sent by Sprenkle at 1:53pm Tuesday suggested she was headed to Port-au-Prince to visit her husband, Haitian medical doctor Erlantz Hyppolite, and her father-in-law following the passing of her mother-in-law at a hospital.

     

    Sylvia Wright and Dr. Rice were asked to speak on behalf of Starry's family and the UC system. Check out the video about Starry and her family.
