Missing Evansville woman's aunt 'keeping busy' by helping homeless

Faye Cardin, aunt of missing Evansville woman Dawnita Wilkerson, keeps busy by helping the homeless when she's not working on the case.

Sept. 15 will mark the fourth “Find Dawnita Day”: an annual observance meant to keep the case fresh in the public’s mind. Dawnita’s family has compiled an $8,000 reward for any information into her whereabouts.

Cardin has helped lead that charge. She and others still relay any bit of information they get to the police. But that purgatory of waiting is maddening, and she’s doing anything she can to keep her brain occupied in her newly abundant free time.
