Event to Bring Awareness to Those Missing and Murdered
ZANESVILLE, OH – Many local families have had to deal with the tragedy of having a family member come up missing. Or even worse, find they have been murdered and it turns into an unsolved case.
Rebecca Wisdom is one of those family members. She originally planned the Zanesville Area Missing and Murdered Awareness Event to focus on her nephew Justen. However further research motivated her to make it into something more.
“There are so many families suffering, so many unanswered questions, that involve so many people. So we felt that it wasn’t right to not include. So I started reaching out to some family members of missing and murdered persons from specifically from Zanesville, Ohio. And like I said it just snowballed from there. So it has grown, it started off about us and it turned into an event that is about the community,” Wisdom said.
