Mysteries of LOST: Where's Claire?

Previously on LOST: Claire, on the run from the freighter mercenaries, hid with Sawyer and his crew in the jungle but awoke to find her father Christian holding her son Aaron. When Sawyer and the crew woke up, Claire was gone but had left Aaron behind. Claire later resurfaced in Jacob's cabin with Christian when Locke learned he had to move the island to save it. Once the island moved, however, Claire hasn't been seen since - except in an off-island dream where she told Kate not to bring Aaron back.

One of these things is not like the other: Locke, Charlie, Hurley, Ben. Lilia guessed Ben first because he'd never had a hallucination, but the correct answer is Charlie, since he wasn't at the cabin when we last saw Claire.

Is Claire dead or not? We're voting no - if Christian's the smoke monster/Nemesis (as we deduced on a previous unpublished Mystery of LOST), Claire can't be an apparition since the smoke monster only appears as one person at a time.

But where is Claire - more importantly, When? It seems like Claire should have been in 2008 pre-Incident, since we saw Christian interacting with Sun and Frank at that time.

Here's something puzzling - Claire abandoned Aaron to go with Christian, who we know she didn't really get along with before Flight 815. We're wondering if this has something to do with Nemesis tricking Claire into coming with her, but there might be something else at play. Christian could have told Claire something earth-shattering to change her mind.

But we're unanimously agreed on two things: Claire is definitely alive, and she better be coming back.
