A case of swaplifting, or something worse?

I had originally posted about this issue on my Sidestories blog because I didn't want to broadcast it throughout the beauty blogosphere + name & shame without getting some second opinions. You can read the original post here:

While some people may think it rude to straight-up name & shame, I think I've waited a damn sufficient amount of time, and would like to know, does anyone know what has become of this blogger: http://aniiita89.blogspot.com/?

Here's the situation:

We decided to do a swap. She wanted to try some ELF items but because of where she lived, the shipping was high. I said I would be glad to help her out and order her what she wanted. This was during the end of October, last year. She said she was going to HK soon, and asked if I wanted anything from there. I told her I was interested in any asian brand beauty products & lashes. She said she'd get me some while she was in HK, if I wouldn't mind waiting a bit for her package, because she'd be there for like a month. So I said okay.

The last time I heard from her was on October 23, 2009. I ordered her items & mailed out her package on November 16, 2009. And I haven't heard from her since.

I emailed her 2 weeks ago (from when this post was written... March 6 or so), asking very nicely if she had received my package or not. No reply. So after waiting 2 weeks, I emailed her tonight (bear in mind this post was written on 3/20/10... it is has been nearly 3 and a half weeks since then), informing her that I had emailed her 2 weeks ago, and that it had been nearly 5 months since we agreed to swap.

I am not really anticipating a reply anymore.

However, I don't want to be a total bitch right off the bat because you never know what's going on in people's lives. For all I know, she might have some family problems or personal problems, or worse.... something might have happened to her? I don't want to be judgemental and rude if something really is going on in her life. She seemed like a really nice person and popular blogger at the time. But now, it's like she just dropped off the face of the earth. She told me she'd be in HK for a month. But it's been 6 MONTHS.

Is it really that much to at least expect a REPLY from her? Like at least take 2 minutes out of your day to say SOMETHING. I don't even know if she got my package or not (although Idk why she wouldn't have) And maybe she's already enjoyed everything I got her and had no intention of completing the swap? Or maybe she really didn't get the package? But then why wouldn't she have emailed me? Is she STILL in HK, even though she told me that she'd be there for 1 month? Has she decided to live there and skip (blogger)town?

She REALLY didn't come across as the type that would be so inconsiderate. But that's the internet for ya, I guess. You never really know who you're dealing with. Maybe she feels guilty by now that it's been so long, so she's avoiding my emails? Maybe she got some kind of incurable disease and can't communicate? Or maybe she doesn't have internet? God forbid that anything bad happened to her but still... I'm just... ugh. Idk what to think. I've heard so many stories about swaplifting, but I never thought I'd go through it.

What do you think I should do?
Should I keep trying to email her? Or just forget about it?
Have you ever been swaplifted?
What did you do?
