Back in 2018 Fierofool was able to get a hold of them via email and they said:

Sadly, for the project, yes, it looks like it's THE END.



Also her personal webpage has been deleted.

I have Mitch, Papa and Kathryn's phone numbers and none of them returned my calls as recently as a couple of years ago. Nor did they respond to emails. She has moved on with her life.

I often wonder why people behave like this. When you have a huge community cheering you on plus you have very positive media coverage, you'd figure that the person would at least have the common courtesy to answer a simple email or return a call. I've sent messages to her personal website when it was running and never even received a reply. I'm HUGE on basic courtesy to others and I hate to say it but I've lost all respect for this family. Sorry to be so blunt.

Now I'm left wondering if this entire project was just a ploy to get a scholarship to Michigan State. Get media attention as a young girl learning to work on a car and get a free ride to College, then dump the project.

Edit to add....after posting my comment above about an hour ago, I went back a few pages and 2016 was one of her last posts with this. I guess I was right:

My Grand daughter left all social media for a good reason none of the reasons speculated here are even close, a few may know why but the will not come forward so she prefers to withdraw from the spotlight and not name names . I applaud her for her reserve. She learned so much from this forum and her endeavors and said the world was full of great true and helpful people but as we all know there are exceptions. She chose to just fade away, no need to cause trouble. So I ask you to be kind. Think what you will but what the true story is is her's and she would rather not ever say. She is truly a lovely young LADY. Papa D.

You're a hell of a lot more understanding than I am. I applaud you for that

Agreed. The OP should request to have this thread deleted since there is no resolution. That would give true anonymity to Kathryn.

I don't understand why there are people that seem to think they are "Owed" something here- this is a very good thread, but some things changed as this lady grew up. That is OK.......I do notice a few on here getting upset and almost threatening. That is unacceptable.
