The Central Missouri Area Wide Chapter of Parents of Murdered Children gathered Saturday to honor the memories of friends and loved ones.
The chapter held a memorial luncheon at McAlister's Deli in Jefferson City, where members reminisced with one another about their loved ones. The event was part of the group's effort to observe the upcoming National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims, set to be held nationwide on Sept. 25...
Asher-Chapman is the founder and director of Missouri Missing, an organization that helps families with missing family members. Her daughter, Michelle Angela Yarnell, went missing in October 2003. Asher-Chapman said her daughter's body has yet to be found... "Not knowing is the worst. I take a shovel out regularly and dig holes looking for my kid."
"She's still missing. It was decided that her husband killed her, he disposed of her body and it's still hidden. I've appealed to him to please let me find her, but he won't," said Asher-Chapman.
In 2009, Michael Yarnell plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter in connection to Yarnell's death. "He received a plea bargain of 7 years, but he served four years, he's out now and he's been out for a year and a half and I see him around town," said Asher-Chapman...
On Saturday, the family plans on holding a memorial for Angie out her at their property at 809 S. Summit Drive in Holts Summit. They welcome the whole community to come out and help tie a green ribbon on the tree in front of their house, to honor their beloved daughter.
Chapman said her daughters abuser accepted a plea deal due to lack of evidence. That evidence was Angies body, and only he knew where it laid.
Angie had such a horrible, shoddy investigation, she said. Its almost as if she was dismissed from the beginning...
She believes her daughter is in the woods, and still actively looks for Angie. Theres not a sinkhole, cave in the woods I wont go, she said.
It has been 4,374 days since Marianne Asher-Chapman heard her daughter's voice. She has celebrated a dozen Christmas mornings, a dozen birthdays, hosted a dozen Thanksgiving meals and rang in a dozen New Years without her only daughter—and still, she has no resolution and a million unanswered questions as to where she is and what happened to her.
For more than two years after Angie's disappearance, Asher-Chapman was turning over every stone she could find—figuratively and literally. She built an investigation with the help of one of her siblings, she contacted all of Angie's friends, hung fliers, begged for help from the public and from the sheriff's department, but she continued to come up empty handed at every turn.
"It's very frustrating to look for your child without any knowledge of what happened to them and I literally could not get a straight answer out of anyone," she said. "It is a nightmare that no parent, brother, sister, or any family member should ever have to live through."
http://krcgtv.com/news/local/missing-woman-remembered-hunters-reminded-to-be-on-the-look-outHer mother, Marianne Asher-Chapman, co-founded Missouri Missing, a group that advocates for missing people all over the Show-Me State.
The organization started a yearly social media campaign four years ago which asks anyone to consider tying green ribbons on trees to remember Angie.
The group is hopeful the green ribbons will spread awareness of their mission, hope, and perseverance to never give up.
With hunting season approaching, the non-profit also believes hunters and other outdoors enthusiasts could play a major role in locating missing persons.
Asher-Chapman told ABC 17 her daughter, Angie Yarnell, was 28 years old when she vanished. In 2009, Michael Yarnell, her husband, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in connection with Angie's death. Her remains, however, have never been found, which is the reason for her to continue to search for answers even if that means doing it herself.
"I still look for her remains. I physically look for her remains in the warm weather, " Asher - Chapman said. "I just won't give up looking for her."
"I just expected she'd be home and every year I expected she'll be home," she said. "I'm not so much expecting that now."
Asher-Chapman along with nearly a thousand other families had one less loved one at the dinner table this holiday. It's a number that Angie Yarnell's mother doesn't want to increase which is why she decided to run a nonprofit organization called Missouri Missing.
