A local group dedicated to finding missing people is holding a vigil in Redding Saturday to keep hope alive that their cases will be solved. “We’re just kind of...making a united front that we’re not going away, and we’re going to keep this information out there,” said Trudy Nickens, founder of Nor-Call Alliance for the Missing. “These families deserve justice.” The vigil is at City Hall’s sculpture park at 777 East Cypress Avenue, from 1 to 3 p.m. Nickens said the event is not just a way of keeping the public informed about the cases — it’s a way to show the public who the missing people really are beyond a face on a flyer. “They’re not necessarily just a person on a picture,” Nickens said. “It kind of makes it a little more personal for people and so, you know, maybe it will create a little more concern...We have so many that are missing.” The missing include Heather Cameron, James Olsen, Courtney “Cort” Jones-Botta and the decade-and-a-half-old case Tera Smith, all of whom will have family members or friends speak at Saturday’s event. Other North State missing persons also will be spotlighted on Saturday. Though it’s based in , Nickens said the group is expanding to serve families of the missing in Southern California, too. “There’s such a huge need in our state as well,” she said. Nickens said the group — which is registered with the Secretary of State’s Office and in the process of becoming a nonprofit — is also gathering donations to bring in a team of forensic canines from New Mexico to look for some of the missing people. Their goal is to raise about $2,300, which would pay for the group’s airfare, lodging and other expenses related to coming to the North State. For more information or to get involved with the group, call Nickens at 530-776-7174, or send an email to info@nor-calallianceforthemissing.org. They also have an anonymous tip line at 530-776-8976 |

Ell Only after the last tree has been cut down; Only after the last fish has been caught; Only after the last river has been poisoned; Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten. | |
