I was surprised to see this case on Websleuths today when I looked at the list of cases with recent posts to them. I remember this case when it happened and I hadn't realized that it had been so many years ago! The White Horse Tavern is easy to spot and known by nearly everyone because of the big statue of the white horse up in the air on a pedestal next to the restaurant. My daughter used to work at a non-profit ministry near there that gives out clothes and other items to the needy. Its not an area where I would hang out alone at night but I hadn't considered it one of the worst areas in Flint, at least during daylight hours. It wouldn't be a place that I'd want a 14 year old wandering around alone though. Its sad that after all this time no one has found the girl or found out what happened to her. By now its a cold case with so much time having passed and I'm not sure the case can or will ever be solved unless someone does some talking that knew something about it back then or who heard someone talking about it since then.
 
I would love to see her on disappeared on ID. I think that would help this case tremendously, because I believe she is out there, alive, somewhere! And for many cold cases, i do not feel that!

That would be great! How do they decide on which cases to air? Anyone know how to contact them and suggest this case?
 
Here is the information for Disappeared, Tricia posted in February of this year. It says for season 5 which has already been filmed, but they might be interested in cases for season 6.

I think as long as there's family/close friends and investigators who want to talk, they would consider Coral. I would like to see older cases on Disappeared, because I find them more interesting, and I believe it would do more good.
 
It sounds like someone who actually knew the missing person is the one that they would want to hear from. Melissa, are you willing to contact them? I think you should. If you need help, let me know. I just think that they probably wouldn't listen to some random person who never knew/doesn't know Coral; they would however, probably love to hear from you or anyone else who knew/knows her.

I agree, marie-chantal, especially after reading Tricia's post here:

Lois Janish was arrested today for the murder of my dear friend Coral Pearl Hall..... Sargent Hosmer came to my house about 3 hours ago and gave me the news. I am flooded with so many emotions, happy Lois was arrested, sadness for Coral being gone, angry at what has been done to Coral. I just can't put it all into words how I feel. I hope we can find Coral soon. Maybe Lois knows where she is?
 
And thanks to all of you for being there for Coral and me. It's been a long long road, almost 15 years since Corals been gone. All of you have been a tremendous help to me in helping with Corals case. Again many thanks!!!!!
