Missing Austin teen to be featured on national TV show

The case of a missing 17-year-old girl from Austin in getting national attention.

The T.V. show “America’s Most Wanted” will feature Roxanne Paltauf’s disappearance when it airs Saturday.

“I was just happy!  I was saying, ‘Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you for getting her on there,’” said Paltauf’s mother, Liz Harris, on Friday.  “That somebody spots her and just gives us a call or calls America's Most Wanted to say, ‘We know where this girl is,’ or ‘We've seen her in the company of this person,’ or ‘We've seen her in this town,’ or whatever, anything, just so we have something to go on instead of nothing at all.”

Paltauf was last seen in a North Austin hotel in July 2006.  Her boyfriend, Louis Walls, claims they were hanging out when Paultauf walked away after an argument.  He was the last to see her alive.

Harris is hoping national attention will bring in more clues.

“I know that a lot more people are going to be able to see it and we're going to find Roxanne,” she said.  “I have a good feeling that she's going to be found.  Somebody's going to see her.”
