The 5th Annual Tour “On the Road To Remember” the Missing
August 2008 - TBA - Honoree TBA
The annual tour was created to generate new interest in cold cases of missing persons across our nation. The inspiration came in 2004 from the case of a North Carolina college student "Leah Roberts" who had gone on a cross country trip of exploration; to only later find her wrecked abandoned vehicle, leaving no sign of her whereabouts for years. Leah's case went cold and interest faded until CUE volunteers set out on a grueling 14 day trip to re trace her route and inform the media along the way of all those that were missing in the path of the tour. In the years to follow, it only seemed right to keep hope alive after families from abroad had voiced the need for more help and supported the tour "idea". Although many of the missing are featured during and throughout the tour - we elect to annually name an honoree; this years receipt is Anthony Ross Allen from Arkansas.
Past Honorees:
2004 Leah Roberts, North Carolina "Toured 26 States Featuring 33
Cases"
2005 Kent Jacobs, North Carolina "Toured all 100 Counties in
North Carolina Featuring 103 Cases"
2006 Molly Dattilo, Indiana "Toured 16 States Featuring 70
Cases"
Anthony "Tony" Allen, Arkansas "Toured 11 States Featuring 107 Cases"
Founded in 1994, the non-profit CUE Center, based in Wilmington, N.C., provides support, services and search efforts to families of the missing. To date, we have assisted more than 7,000 families in need. CUE is supported by community donations and active volunteers.
