In January 2007, Rachel P. Salazar and Ruben P. Salazar were living 9,000 miles apart and completely unaware of each other's existence. But when an email meant for Rachel accidentally went to Ruben, it wasn't long before an ordinary mistake began to look like an extraordinary stroke of luck.

[Andrea Ayittey]

uuuuh I most say that's pretty weird you ever met the person and you travel across the world for them

[customerjon]

Adorable.

[GirlDreamer90210]

it's dangerous, maybe a killer or kidnapper will see how people like u believe in this story and make up the same story to fool u. U never know, ok? This happens to these two people doesn't mean that it could happen to u. U always have to be aware :)

[TeachMeIngles]

[TheHippievampire]

[gupta5882]

[gothjet]

This story turned me into complete mush! Too cute!!!

[Lupercus50]

A little true story, a man and woman chatted in the internet, they got to know each other on the internet, then the woman went missing, she was later found bound up with a ball gag in her mouth, in a trash can dead, that was his way to try and get rid of the body, that's why it's dangerous, if going to meet, always make it a public place, and take time to get to know them personally, preferably have someone you know with you.

So I'm guessing you threw your common sense out the window? The fact that police have to disguise themselves as 12 year old girls in chat rooms to catch pedophiles, need I say more? Actually I will say more, go back to the trash can, pickup that commonsense up and put it back in your brain please.
