Answer :

answer:If you can recall any of the other friends that also knew her, you could try looking those people up on Facebook, and then ask if they know her. You might be able to go online and see yearbooks or class photos from the year and school that you went to, that might list her name. You could also try to contact the school and let them know who you are and why you are looking for her and see if they have any ideas.
