Update: SpikedKitty
I did some additional looking into
spikedkitty's LJ and google for anything I could use to find out what happened.
The news is not good. I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, almost three years late...
According to the Social Security Death Index, Kathy Batista (born 2/24/83) died on October 28, 2005.
I didn't know Kat's last name, but google provided me that Kathy Batista has a sister Anabel, and previously lived in Corona, NY. As much as I wish it were a coincidence... I do not believe it is.
Breathe Easy, Kat.
I know I've lost touch with a lot of the BC&S people, if those of you still reading can pass it along to others - thank you.
