Rick Morrison, father of Missing Crystal Morrison, hosted this rally stop (10/5/13 10am) in Concord, NC. Crystal left work on 8-23-12 and was never seen again. At the time she was a 31 year old mother of a young son.
On the day she went missing she had loaned her car to a friend. Having no vehicle when she started to not feel well at work, she had to call a family member for a ride home early. When they arrived at her work they found she had begun walking home and had left 20 minutes prior to their arrival.
It's interesting that to me she's recently missing. It's been over a year, but we visit so many stops that their loved one has been missing 5, 10, 25 or 50 years, that a little over a year seems like a newer case. I am sure that her family would disagree, and they are also correct. Mathew was ONLY missing for 6 months. It was an eternity to me. Going on this tour each year reminds me that although I have been through so much, I am one very lucky mother. As I watched Rick speak about his daughter, I remember the pain of going to bed each night and waking up each morning hoping today will be the day that you get some answers.
Crystal's family does not live in Concord where she lived and worked when she vanished. They live in Rock Hill, SC, where Crystal was raised. It's about 50 miles for her family to come search and meet with law enforcement. That's about the same distance from where I lived to where Matt went missing. It's an added burden when you have to travel. Every time you drive for a search or an event you just don't want to leave. You feel drawn to the area all of the time.
