Musical Tour Profiles Missing People
DALLAS (CBS 11 News) ―
The family of a missing Fort Worth woman said they will refuse to give up hope.
Sunday they joined a search team near Gateway Park looking for clues in the disappearance of Glenda Gail Furch.
"You don't want your friend or family member to be forgotten," said Lador Frank, a friend of Furch.
Meanwhile, a concert was held at the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas to help families whose loved ones have vanished.
Sunday was the last stop of the Squeaky Wheel Tour because of the day's special significance. It would have been Gina Bo's 48th birthday.
Gina has been missing for seven years now. Both she and her sister Jannel Rap are singer-songwriters.
Rap had an idea to use music to raise awareness about missing persons. She started the Gina for Missing Persons Foundation, which evolved into the Squeaky Wheel Tour.
The tour travels all over the country from October 17 to November 4. Rap's band Clementine headlines the tour. In between musical acts, they profile someone who is missing.
They said it is an unusual but effective way to raise awareness about missing persons. Organizers said during this tour, 15 of the missing people they've profiled have actually been found.
"Even though it's difficult, and it's expensive, and it's grueling, it's worth it if one can be brought home," said Jannel Rap. "It gives me hope that we're on the right track and that we need to continue doing what we're doing."
Sunday, the group profiled Furch and Leah Pebbles.
"I'm hoping that after tonight there will be a lot more people that will have her face in their minds," said John Pebbles, Leah's father.
