… that’s how long Jaliek Rainwalker has been missing. If you ask me, that’s 590 day too long. I know I haven’t been present much on the blogs, including my own, but not one day goes by when I do not think about Jaliek. Actually, I see him every day, several times a day, as I’m getting in and out of my car. His missing poster is in my car window, spreading awareness of a child who is still missing. People take a second look as they pass by. I smile when I see someone pointing as they drive by, one more person has seen Jaliek’s face.
Jaliek will not be forgotten but it’s time to bring him home. I’ve been sitting here thinking that there has to be a better way. There are so many missing people in the Capital District and the surrounding areas, why haven’t they been found? Yes, the cases go cold, leads stop coming in but the one constant is that these people are still missing. They aren’t just a face on a poster. They are someone’s child, mother, father, sister, brother.
You’re right (((((Kim)))))).The news and headlines die down and I’m sure many have asuusmed that those that have gone missing have been forgotten….but that is NOT true! Those such as Jalick will never be forgotten….there will always be someone,somewhere searching for them.Thanks Kim for reminding us that TOGETHER we CAN bring those that have gone missing home and a SORT of peace to those who are waiting for them.

Hoping today, tomorrow, or this time next year you won’t need to write such a blog for Jaliek or any missing person. Thanks, Kim.
