Wilmington, NC – National Organization "The CUE Center For Missing Persons" founder Monica Caison & team of volunteers will travel this week from Wilmington, NC to Olympia, WA where a Rally/Vigil will be held in honor of MISSING child, 10 year old, Lindsey Baum who disappeared on the evening of June 26th 2009 while walking home from a friends house in her hometown of McCleary, WA - The media, community and general public are cordially invited to participate; please join in this effort to shed light on Lindsey's whereabouts, show of support to the family as wells as spread awareness of missing adults and children everywhere.

For the ninth year, volunteers from the North Carolina-based CUE Center for Missing Persons will travel across the U.S. to raise awareness of missing children and adults. The team will be in California, Oregon and Washington State to attend their pre planned rally stops hosted by various officials, families and friends.

CUE will be distributing a trail of press kits, t shirts, and valuable information throughout the path of the tour - concerning the unidentified, missing person’s and unsolved homicide cases that have gone cold. “After so many years, these cases fade from the public’s radar, but for the families and friends of a missing person, the nightmare continues — every minute of every day theirloved one is absent,” said CUE Founder”, Monica Caison; who is leading the caravan of volunteers. “We are traveling across the country to make sure that no case fades from memory. The annual tour campaign plays as a reminder of just a handful cases nationally that are in need of a resolution”, they need our help and the community’s help to bring them home”, she added.

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 a 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 remains’ 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 her disappearance and all of those who were
missing in the path of the route. In Leah’s case the tour’s mission was to gain her
national attention in which was accomplished when it landed a feature story in People
Magazine. In the years to follow, it only seemed right to keep hope alive after families
from 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
primarily focuses on missing person 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
community. 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
sparked, and searches conducted. Information has resulted in new leads in some cases,
and has even helped identify an unknown decedent; returned children of a parental
abduction and in 2008 solved a cold case of twenty eight years. In each tour year, some
of the missing cases featured have been found from various efforts prompted by the
tour’s visit, being the main reason for its existence today.
Every missing person is somebody’s child.

It is the belief of the CUE Center for Missing Persons that all investigators, 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”, “inactive” or unsolved.
