Minerva Tripp is one of those missing women. She vanished without a trace last August. The single mother was raising a 10-year old daughter. Minerva's two older sisters have endured months of heartache and worry, spending endless hours searching for her.

"Not knowing where she is -- it's a pain I can't even describe," said Marcellette Love, Minerva's older sister. "For months I would dream of her, seeing her in the mud, in trash bags, soaked in the rain. ... I just want to have her back. I just want to see her.

Love said she thinks the police have not done nearly enough to help them find Minerva. "On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give them a zero," she said. "They have not followed leads and have not done nearly enough."
