A year after the search for Erica Parsons began, her biological mother, Carolyn Parsons, has moved back to Rowan County. She’s staying with a friend, looking for work, and pressuring investigators to do more to find the daughter she gave up for adoption as a baby.
A candlelight vigil is planned for Aug. 1, a year after her daughter’s reported disappearance. The goal: Keep the search alive.
A total of $35,000 in reward money remains unclaimed, and the joint effort of the FBI, the State Bureau of Investigation and private search organizations has yielded no arrests, no charges and no Erica.
