ImaginePublicity Sponsors Tour Stop to Remember the Missing Persons of South Carolina

On Saturday, October 29 at 10am family members of the missing, along with members of the community, law enforcement, media and speakers will gather at Chapin Park at 1400 North Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach.  South Carolina has approximately 125 known open missing persons cases, some recent and many that have gone cold.  ImaginePublicity hopes to add to the awareness of each of them by hosting a stop along the CUE Center for Missing Persons’ Road to Remember Tour in Myrtle Beach.

Each year CUE Center for Missing Persons hits the road across several states in order to bring awareness to communities of the magnitude of a silent epidemic, missing persons.  This year’s tour will cover the following states: NC, TN, SC, TX, MS, AL, FL, LA .  Every year, Monica Caison and representatives from CUE travel a different route in order to bring needed attention in the media and each community.

The annual tour was created to generate new interest in cold cases of missing people across our nation. The inspiration came in 2004 from the case of North Carolina college student Leah Roberts, who had gone on a cross-country trip of self-exploration. Her wrecked and abandoned vehicle was found, but Leah is still missing. Leah’s case went cold and interest faded until CUE Center volunteers set out on a grueling 14-day trip to retrace her route and inform the media of all those who were missing in the path of the tour. In the years to follow, it only seemed right to keep hope alive after families across the country voiced the need for more help and supported the tour idea.

All families with missing loved ones in South Carolina are invited to participate.  Please bring pictures, signs, banners, or whatever you like, to honor your missing loved one and bring more attention to your loved one’s case.

If you are planning to attend, please email contact@imaginepublicity to give us an idea of who will be in attendance.   Your missing loved one will be honored regardless of attendance.

 

Donna Jou: Missing 4 Years and Still No Justice

Remembrance

My remarkable Donna,

This year marks the 4th anniversary of your ambiguous disappearance — a tragedy that caused us an irreversible damage.

June 23, 2007 was the beginning of a nightmare I never woke up from. I was thrown suddenly into a dizzying world of unbelief parents, then have to learn how to survive such an unthinkable crises, not knowing what to do and where to look next. I have been through sobbing cries, aching heart, denial, hope, anger, and mourning, a myriad of strange feelings and emotions never felt before and praying for answers every day, every waking moment.

Donna, I think steadily about you during the most sorrowful and terrifying journey of my life. A part of my very own being has been chopped off violently by this horrific loss. You will always be inseparable part of me, I never be the same again.

Donna, we have plead to the local, state, and federal authorities in charge to ensure justice for you, to RE-OPEN your case and assign a NEW investigative team to start their efforts in full force to find my fallen daughter and to bring you back to us.

We have asked DA of Los Angeles/Mr. Cooley and his capable team to use their finely honed skills to find you instead of relying on BURGESS’ (a CAREER Criminal’s) fabricated story.

I love you so deeply and genuinely my lovely Donna, will never fall out of love with you, I miss you badly my baby, I need you.

Your Dad,

Reza

 

For Immediate press release,
Donna’s parent, family, and supporters will be assembling in front of Los Angeles Criminal Justice Center in observance of the 4th anniversary of the ambiguous disappearance of Donna Jou, to demand justice for Donna, and for the case to be RE-OPEN for investigation.
Date: Friday, June 24, 2011
Time: 11:30 AM
Location: 210 W. Temple, Los Angeles, California

3 Years Missing: Rachel Conger

March 13, 2011 is the 3rd year anniversary of Rachel Conger’s disappearance.

Each Spring as the sun shines warmer and daffodils bloom on cool mornings, I’m reminded that Rachel is still missing, taken from our world way too soon.  Each year, on the morning of the anniversary of the day Rachel went missing, I sit to write something to honor her memory, and each year I wish it to be the last time.

Honoring Rachel today, as in years past, to me, is honoring all of the mothers missing from their children.  Although she may be missing from our earthly lives, as I once again look over her pictures, I’m reminded of the impact she’s made on the world, I see the day differently through the eyes looking back at me.  Although I didn’t know her personally, through these pictures and memories of her family, she has become close to many, reminding us that lives can be changed in an instant and those changes are far reaching.

Today marks the third year Rachel’s daughter, Amber Simmons, has been without the mother who dearly, dearly loves her.  We have watched as Amber has grown from  a mere child to a beautiful young lady filled with much of the spirit of her mother. There are many surrogate “Mamabears” who vow to keep an eye out for this young lady, watching over her and taking her under our wings when needed.

Each year she whispers softly to us, reminding us all to take care, to love more, to reach out further, to be reminded that there is a family who starts every day silently hoping  it will be the day that she will be found.

Her light is gone, her voice is silenced, but we will continue to gather, united in prayer and hope that the light and love she left in this world will shine upon the path that, one day, will bring her home and give her family peace.

What more can we say, what more can we do, to bring her home?

Laurie Partridge is Missing

1974, the Beach Boys, engagement rings, boyfriends, the drill team and high school newspaper, all things on the mind of 17 year old Laurie Partridge when she left school early on the afternoon of December 4.  Not feeling well,  she started  walking the two mile journey home, but she never made it.

According to media reports, Laurie was a typical, adjusted teenager with no cause to run away from home, her parents, family and boyfriend.  She was looking forward to so much, including an upcoming  concert starring the Beach Boys.   Laurie is the oldest of five siblings, all from a close knit family that had recently moved from California to Spokane, WA.  Although she wasn’t happy about the move, she seemed to adjust to her new surroundings and new friends.  All of this was disregarded when she was reported missing and authorities considered her just another runaway teen, categorizing her into a low priority and hesitating to intensely investigate her case.

A few detectives attended the Beach Boys concert to watch for Laurie, but they didn’t see her in the crowd.  Later they found out that someone entered the concert using the tickets purchased for Laurie, but because they didn’t expend enough manpower, they don’t know who the persons that used the tickets were.  A few suspects were consequently questioned, including serial killer Ted Bundy, but, still, no information on the whereabouts of Laurie Partridge.

After 37 years remaining family members are still searching for clues.  Years of investigations, vigils, holidays lost and memories fading have all but relegated Laurie Partridge to cold case status.  However, the other side of the coin is that in the last 37 years so much has happened within the world of those who care about finding missing persons.

We are seeing interest growing and with the advent of the internet, information and pictures can reach thousands with lightening speed.  We have seen many legitimate, honorable organizations  come about that are professionally trained to work along side of law enforcement agencies to help solve cases, find the missing or remains and give families peace.  We have seen the creation of legislation and national databases which can cross reference information and match missing persons information with unidentified remains, and volunteer advocates which fill in the gap and serve the families.

Although Laurie Partridge’s mother passed without knowing what happened to her daughter, there is always hope that remaining family members will be able to be successful in fulfilling the mission of bringing Laurie home.
