Admission for this event is $10 per person and t-shirts will be on sale showing Domonique and several other missing people from the Rochester area. Proceeds from the fundraiser will pay for a private investigator to search for the missing young man.

Mother Still Pleading for Answers in Son Domonique Holley Grisham's 2009 Disappearance

Domonique's case is still open and active, according to officials with the Rochester Police Department. However, very few clues as to what may have happened to him have ever been uncovered. Nothing else is able to be released at this time.

There have been rumors though. Rumors that have frightened and unsettled Mozell.

Several people, she says, have reached out to her saying her son was killed by a group of teens over an unknown disagreement. Others have told her his death was an accident, and was hidden because the kids he was with were scared.

Her concern and frustration stem from this information not being relayed to the police, as the person or persons who have it are frightened that what they say may put them in danger.

Bumping for Domonique. His mother has not given up. We need to get this solved.

There is a podcast out today, March 2, 2018, on Domonique. The podcast is called Unfound and it's very good. The police told Domonique's mother (long after Domonique disappeared) that Domonique had said some negative things about his girlfriend on My Space, although his girlfriend said there had been no cross words between them. I wasn't able to find a My Space page for Domonique. Do you think My Space erases pages that have been inactive for a long time? Or maybe his My Space page was under a nickname? I have been under the impression that your social media footprint stays out there unless you deliberately remove it. Domonique's family never knew he had a My Space page. Another rumor Domonique's mother heard was that Domonique had been beaten up and possibly killed after he suddenly left the house on the day he went missing. The police have given this family very little time or energy. The podcast is definitely worth a listen.

Great info in that podcast, thank you.

I wonder what the motive could have been for a bunch of boys to beat up Domonique? I hope a search is conducted near that bridge!

How sad for his mother to hear all these rumors, but not knowing what is true and where her son is. Maybe if the local media would pay a lot of attention to it, one of the teenagers that might be involved, will start to feel guilty and tell what they know. It's quite a secret to live with.

Bumping for Dominique....

Looking at NAMUS and found a few UP that aren’t on his rule out list. 12130, 15694,16202. I know that Detroit is a stretch but I was thinking better to know than not, the other is Rochester & I’m surprised it hasn’t already been checked. Anyone else have opinions?

 

[Ghost_21]

UP#12130 & UP#16202 are no longer active. UP#15694 (Rochester Case referenced above) is still active and has not been ruled out on Domonique's NamUs case page. It remains the only Rochester, New York unidentified case after his date of disappearance that has not been ruled out. (UP#12466 has been ruled out).

If interested in this case, I would also recommend the Unfound Episode referenced by emilykay1091 above.

16 years of silence. 16 years of questions.

For many, Feb. 12 was just like any other day. But for the family of Domonique Holley-Grisham, a 16-year-old boy who walked out of his Rochester home in 2009 never to be seen again, that date marked another year on the calendar without closure.

And with every passing year, that silence grows more deafening, yet the drumbeat of questions grows louder for his family. Where is Domonique?

*****
As much as Domonique's story is about him, it is also about a mother who has refused to give up hope. A mother who, even when she said she's often been left to feel like she is the only one who cares or who is looking for Dom, has continued to be an advocate for other missing children.
