WTHR - Indianapolis News and Weather - Families make plea for missing persons bill: "Lawmakers took action on legislation designed to aid in the search of missing persons in the state. The House already passed out the bill and now it is the Senate's turn. The testimony was very emotional.
We have heard the names of the missing like Brookley Louks and Charles Rickey but Tuesday the Senate Homeland Security Committee heard what made these people special, and what made the search for the missing so frustrating.
The committee heard from Molly Datillo's cousin, Karen Joe Smith's stepmother, Wade Steffey's dad and Lola Catherine Fry's sister. But it was Niqui McCown's mother who really captured their spirit.
'Someone took something from me more valuable than gold. My baby,' said Barbara McCown. 'There are so many Niquis out there and no one seems to care but put yourself in my place. There is no way whether you pass this or not that you will forget Niqui. You will forget none of the Niquis that are out there. They are your family. Don't walk over them like they didn't exist. We want an answer. We demand an answer.'"
