Deidre's 'Space, at www.myspace.com/vegashazel, is an amalgamation of posts Deidre made from the time she created the page on March 1, 2006, and new additions made to promote the search for Harm.
Using her MySpace weblog, Deidre made a post on May 2, 2006, explaining her daughter's unusual name. She wrote, in part:
"So someone just asked me why I named my daughter Vegas. There are a few reasons. One, I like the name and it's original, yet easy to spell and pronounce. Two, the other names I came up with didn't really stick out, and her dad didn't seem to like them (why I cared what he thought, I'll never understand.) And finally, Karma Harm (I knew she'd have MY last name) just didn't sound right. . ."
On June 13, just over a month later, a very different blog entry was made. The beginning of the entry read:
"This is being written by Heather & Samantha, friends of Deidre's. . . ifyou have seen her or heard from her please tell her we are looking for her! She was last seen downtown on Saturday night. She told Gabe she was just going to talk to someone and she would be right back but no one has heard from or seen her since. . ."

Deidre and friends |
Beside mundane details like Deidre's height (5'4"), her hair Zodiac sign (Scorpio), was Deidre Harm's transformed "About Me" section. Her friends had simply changed that to a notice about Deidre missing, and then inserted a slide show of photos of Harm and her baby, Vegas.
Sometimes reading comments left by a missing person for other friends on a networking site like MySpace can give hints as to where they were on a given day in their life.
