BARRE, Vt. (AP) â On the one-year anniversary of a Black man's disappearance from a Barre motel, authorities held a press conference Tuesday that they said was to renew awareness of the case in hope of generating new leads and getting people who know more than what they've acknowledged to come forward.
At the same time, some activists are demanding that police to call in the FBI and plan to hold a protest in Burlington.
Ralph Jean-Marie, 38, was last seen on April 13, 2020, near the Hollow Inn & Motel where he was living with his girlfriend and did not have his glasses, prescription medications or wallet when he disappeared. He was reported missing by a friend more than 60 hours after he disappeared. The Barre Police Department continues to offer a $5,000 reward for information about his disappearance.
