MALICOUNDA BAMBARA, Senegal - Nine days have blurred together this way: She sits in the living room, wiping away tears and staring at her phone. People call and call, but she longs to hear only one voice.
Her daughter - 20-year-old Diary Sow, twice crowned best student in Senegal - vanished from an elite preparatory school in Paris sometime after 8:57 p.m. on Jan. 3.
