On The Road To Remember Tour Coming To Alabama!

[abcantrell]

:attention:
As I have promised some of you guys, here are the dates and locations for the Alabama stops for the "On The Road To Remember Tour 2009". I am also including the link for the Official web site for the tour. The web site includes all stops in all states. Please check it out and find a location near you to attend.

As I have explained to some of you already, the Alabama Association Of Private Investigators will be hosting these stops. My husband and I are members of this association. We are also members of the Walker County Rescue Squad in Jasper, AL. Our squad members will be volunteering their time to plan and put together the actual event as well.

Again, we are asking for all friends and family members of missing persons to attend. If at all possible, please contact the coordinator at the location you wish to attend.

Thank You!
Angie Cantrell

National Tour Purpose and Inspiration

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 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.

National Tour Objective

The national road tour, called “On the Road to Remember,” is an awareness campaign that focuses on missing persons cases that have gone cold or have not received appropriate media coverage on the local level – much less the national level.. The tour, which travels through many states annually, provides that attention.

In all cases of missing people, it is vital to inform the public of the missing person’s circumstances quickly and to disseminate that information to the media and the public. In most cases where details are released immediately to the public through an organized campaign, the public brings forth information that aids in the investigation and or the location of the victim. The media plays a significant role in getting the word out on the behalf of the missing person and should be recognized as a vital resource to any investigation.

Interest in many of the cases we have featured in previous tours has been renewed. The media has learned about local cases they were unaware of; case investigations have been renewed, and searches conducted. Information has resulted in new leads in some cases, and has even helped identify an unknown decedent and in 2008 solved a cold case of twenty eight years. And finally, each tour some of the missing featured have been found from various efforts, which is the main reason we conduct the tour despite the toll it takes on our all-volunteer staff.

It is the belief of the CUE Center for Missing Persons that all investigations, the public, volunteers and the media should work in collaboration on cases involving missing children and adults; until this happens, their will continue to be cases of the missing labeled “cold” or “inactive.”

About the 2009 Tour Honoree

In keeping the tradition of the tour – an honoree is selected each year, one who needs fair coverage of their disappearance. This year’s honoree is Rachel Cooke. January 10, 2002
Rachel, an accomplished cross-country runner, left her home in the Northlake development on FM 3405 northwest of Georgetown, Texas (north of Austin) on the morning of Thursday, January 10, 2002, to go on her usual 3-4 mile morning jog around the neighborhood. Sometime around 11 AM, near the end of her run and possibly within 200 yards of home, she disappeared.

HFTM has Rachel listed here: Link (http://www.helpfindthemissing.org/forum/showthread.php?t=44&highlight=Rachel+Cooke)

Well that's not very helpful. Maybe their hosting agency or person has not gotten them the final details. I know it still shows Sanford University as our site, but, it's Oak Mountain State Park now.

I can do a little checking into Mississippi and let you know if I find anything.

I sent an email to them and asked and posted a message on their site.
