Families gathered at the Bossier Civic Center Thursday to remember missing loved ones. It was all part of the "Road to Remember" tour.
Clinton Nelson vanished September 1, 2006.
"I just want my son back and all I can ask is that people will find it in their hearts to come forward with what they know," pleaded Carolyn Johnson, Nelson’s mother.
Gregory Alonzo Vice Junior disappeared March 21, 2000.
Rebecca Gary went missing December 27 1988.
"I want to know what happened to my mom. The not knowing just tears me apart,” Jamie Williams told NBC 6. Her mother vanished when she was 12 years-old.
No one has seen April Pitzer since June 28th, 2004.
Beverly Meadows has been missing since December 26th, 2008.
"She was a resident at the nursing home and she walked out of there and we have not heard one word. We have no trace," explained Liz Lingenfelter, Meadows’ mother.
These are just some of the people missing in the Arklatex. Their families hold out hope that one day they'll return home.
“It's a renewed hope that there are still people out there that care and the hopefully we'll get information," said Monica Caison, founder of the CUE Center for Missing Persons.
Caison is the woman behind the "Road to Remember". The tour travels the country each year bringing awareness to missing persons cases.
"Some of these families have suffered a missing person for 5,6,7 years; some longer,” added Caison.
If you have information that could help solve any of these missing persons cases, contact your local police department or the CUE Center for Missing Persons 24 hour line 910-232-1687 or visit them online at www.ncmissingpersons.org .
