Missing Persons Organization Gains National Attention for Missing Teen
CUE Center for Missing Persons continues the search for Megan Maxwell
Wilmington, NC – It has been more than a month that Megan Maxwell vanished in the early morning hours on April 26, 2009 and little remains known about her disappearance other than her vehicle, a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse that was found burning the morning of April 26th on U.S. Highway 25/70 by a passing off-duty officer. Megan was last seen at her father’s home on that same day before she vanished.
As days turned into weeks her family and friends conducted their own searches with the aid of volunteers and an urgency to locate Megan. Now they have reached out to the CUE Center for Missing Persons who traveled from North Carolina and brought in additional resources from other states searching for close to two weeks; “we had to leave temporarily to re group and bring back more search teams, we will not give up:, said CUE’s founder, Monica Caison. “Once the landfill search is conducted the center plans to return and re focused their search in areas on land and water”, she added.
In the recent search effort CUE brought in K9 cadaver to search on land and water, sonar equipment, water/boat teams and had planned to work from the air however that promised to the group fell through; “we now have a private group willing to fly for us to search from the air and that will happen very soon” said, Monica Caison. The group’s volunteers are not sitting idle, they organized a candle light service, distributed massive posters of Megan, requesting aid nationwide and even got her case featured on America’s Most Wanted Show which will air again this Saturday night, June 6th and will remain on their website; they have also erected a website for Megan which can be viewed at www.helpfindmeganmaxwell.com
This past Saturday night Megan would have graduated from Cox County High School, her parents attended as they watched the entire graduating class swift by wearing yellow ribbons in honored of Megan and listen to a speaker who made an announcement about Megan and to remember her in prayer, said Lisa Maxwell, Megan’s mother. “It was bitter sweet, but it made me feel good that others cared enough to include her”, she added.
“Our family in collaboration with the CUE Center is offering a $5,000.00 reward for anyone who can lead us to the direct location of Megan Maxwell; this reward will only last for ten (10) days and will begin June 5th and end at midnight on June 15, 2009”, said Lisa Maxwell, the missing teens mother. “The public does not have to reveal their identify and can be assured the funds will be paid for information that will leads us to the discovery of Megan, said CUE’s founder, Monica Caison.
In addition to the $5,000.00 reward, a family member who wishes to remain anonymous is offering a $500.00 cash reward for information on the whereabouts of Megan’s car speaker and her Jewelry; both rewards are offered with no questions asked.
“It is our hope that with the numerous efforts being made and people willing to help in this case a resolution will follow for her family soon; many times it becomes unbearable and we want to leave no stone unturned to locate Megan”, said, Monica Caison. This is a real tragedy and is happening to our family, it is about our daughter, we want her found and our voices heard”, said Lisa Maxwell.
