BEIJING, July 28 -- A modern-day love story of a man
spotting the girl of his dreams across a New York subway train and tracking her
down over the Internet has failed to see a fairytale ending.
For Web designer Patrick Moberg, then 21, from
Brooklyn, it was love at first sight when he spotted a woman on a Manhattan
train last November. But he lost her in the crowd so he set up a website with a
sketch to find her.

Unbelieveably, in a city of 8 million people, it only
took Moberg 48 hours to track down the woman, with his phone ringing non-stop
and e-mail box overflowing as usually cynical New Yorkers took sympathy on the
subway Romeo and joined his hunt.
The mysterious brunette was named as Camille Hayton,
from Melbourne, Australia, who was working as an intern at the magazine
BlackBook and also lived in Brooklyn. One of her friends spotted the sketched
picture on the website and recognized her.
But after finding each other, appearing on TV and
getting international press, the couple took their romance out of the public
eye, with Moberg closing down the website and with both refusing to making any
more comments - until now.
Hayton told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph
that she dated Moberg for about two months but it just did not work out.
Hayton said she is still recognized about three times
a week on the streets of Manhattan as "that girl"' and the question is always
the same: "So what happened?"
Hayton said that she is enjoying single life in New
York, keeping busy with acting classes, working in two vintage clothing stores
and as a waitress.
Moberg, however, was still refusing to comment on the
relationship.
