'Every missing person is somebody's child
By BRENDA BROWN knhedit@kilgorenewsherald.com
Marie Martin of Henderson knows her brother was no angel — he had issues with drugs and alcohol and the law over in Cherokee County knew his name long before he disappeared.
But after 50-year-old Jimmy Charles Scott vanished on Nov. 3, 2001, Martin says law enforcement wrote off his case almost immediately and that has never really changed.
Still, his big sister mourns his loss and looks for news of Scott even today, hoping without hope and knowing that he was likely murdered by someone he probably knew.
Because Martin knows the pain of losing a loved one and never really knowing what happened, she says she is sympathetic to others in the same predicament and wants everyone to know about the 6th annual "On the Road to Remember" Nationwide Tour for Missing Persons, which will make a stop Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the Henderson Plaza Shopping Center parking lot (in front of Tractor Supply), 2309 US Hwy. 79 South.
Cal Riley and 94 West Band will perform and Martin encourages people to bring their lawn chairs to hear the music and sit a spell in between looking at the photos of missing people from Texas and across the nation. (more...)
