For Jen Powell, the disappearance of her son is made even more difficult by the exasperating lack of clues in the case and the uncertainty of even knowing whether he is dead or alive.
John Weisbecker inexplicably vanished on March 11, 2009, from the house he shared with his mother and sister at 205 Asbury Ave. in Ocean City. A postal worker saw Weisbecker that morning, but no one else has spotted him since then, police said.
As another year passes without any trace of Weisbecker, his mother remains convinced that someone somewhere knows something about her son and must come forward to finally give the family closure.
I just keep praying that one day someone will have a conscience and tells us what is going on, she said in a phone interview Friday on the eighth anniversary of her sons disappearance.
Even if they do it anonymously, it doesnt matter. I would just like to know what happened, she continued.
