REESE and Katie met in Hong Kong last New Year's Eve.

She was crying on the side of the road because she had been separated from her friends.

Reese McKee, 25, cheered her up.

They spent a magical night together, "playing in traffic" and "dancing all night", and as dawn broke they parted ways. The last words she said to him were "Find me".

Now the New Zealand man is trying to track down his lost love.

He only has four "tiny details" to help him in his quest.

1. A photo.

"My friend found it on my phone the next morning and the good memories came sweeping back. Which evaporated into mild despair when I realised how little i had to go off," Mr McKee posted on the Facebook page he has created to help track her down.

2. Her name. But he isn't even sure is "Katie" is the correct spelling.

"Katy? Kati? Caty? Kayte?? I don't even want to consider that "Katie" is a nickname or shortened name.."

3. Katie said she was from "DC".

"Now I don't know about you, but I took that to mean Washington DC. Which, wikipedia has informed me has a metropolitan population of 5,703,948."

4. Vague detail about her email.

"She said her email had 'kitty kat' in it. No idea how that one is spelt either, but I kicked myself when I remembered waving it off and full of drunken optimism saying 'yeah I'll find you'."

He spent the next day trying all combinations he could think of - gmail, Hotmail and others - but gave up when he realised it probably has numbers in it too.

So Mr McKee has turned to Facebook, and so far he has been "overwhelmed" with the response.

"This has been up less than 48hours and i'm truly overwhelmed but the energy and enthusiasm that everyone has given. It means more then i can express in a simple post. Such a flood of positivity could restore anyone's faith in their fellow man/woman, and it has for me."

Only time will tell if the power of social media will help reunite Reese and Katie. And if she's single. And if she's interested in him too. Stay tuned.
