The Sixth Annual Missing Person Tour will make a stop in Florence at 3 p.m. Friday at the Southeastern Institute of Manufacturing and Technology located near Florence-Darlington Technical College on U.S. 52.
Community United Effort Center for Missing Persons, based in Wilmington, N.C., is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to raising the awareness of missing children and adults, along with unsolved homicides.
The team will be in Florence to attend a rally stop hosted by the Florence and Darlington County sheriffs offices.
“After so many years, these cases fade from the public’s radar, but for the families and friends of the missing, the nightmare continues every minute of every day their loved one is missing,” CUE Founder Monica Caison, who is leading the caravan of volunteers, said in a press release issued by the Florence County Sheriff’s Office.
Cases to be featured by the Florence County Sheriff’s Office during the stop are Randy Delyn Bratschi, missing since November 26, 2004; Claretha McLeod, missing since Jan. 29; Paul Keith Coates and Wanda Evans Coates, slain Aug. 6, 2000; Lisa Jackson, also known as Lovenia Helton, slain Dec. 27, 2006; and Lindsay L. Simmons, slain Sept. 6, 2004.
