Folks from across the country have gathered in Lewis County for the past few weeks, to search for missing three year-old Aliayah Lunsford, but Saturday family and friends came together to look for answers elsewhere.
Aliayah’s family says they’ve utilized every outlet available to get the word out about the missing girl. They’ve posted flyers, made a Facebook page, and are now wearing purple ribbons, made in Aliayah’s favorite color.
Now they’re hoping the power of prayer will bring her home safely.
Vickie Bowen says she’s never gotten to meet her great niece Aliayah Lunsford, but that hasn’t stopped her from searching.
Saturday marked seven weeks since Aliayah seemingly disappeared from her Bendale home. Crews have combed through woods and water in search of the three year old, but have yet to come up with any leads, and now family and friends are relying on prayer to get them through.
Praying for the return of girl they describe as happy and intelligent, who carried on full conversations, but weary of strangers, which family members say explains the tears in her pictures.
But after weeks of searching, weeks of praying, Aliayah’s family is left without answers. Even so, they say they won’t give up.
“We’re not giving up hope. If we give up hope then we give up on Aliayah, and that’ll never happen,” says one family member.
If you have any information about Aliayah’s disappearance call the Fusion Center at (304) 558-4831.
