Still searching
When missing persons cases go cold, the real work begins
2013-10-23
By Joan Tupponce
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Started in 1994, The Community United Effort focuses on finding missing persons, advocating their causes and supporting their families. Since its inception, the nonprofit has helped more 9,000 families nationwide.
But that is just a small fraction of the missing person cases in the U.S. today, says Madonna Layne, who serves as Virginia state director for the national group, also known as CUE. She became involved with CUE in 2008 after participating in an annual road rally to help bring attention to the case of Annita Price, who has been missing since 1974. Price is Layne’s mother.
We recently caught up with Layne to ask about the group’s work in Virginia.
Chesterfield Observer: What type of services does CUE offer?
Madonna Layne: CUE offers a wide range of free services, such as search and recovery, victim support, investigation, canvassing, K-9, air and water search, including sonar and divers, horseback and many, many others. It is entirely donation funded and staffed by volunteers, none of whom take a salary.
CO: What’s the difference in emotions for the family of a missing person and other tragic events?
Layne: The difference between having a missing loved one and other tragic events is not knowing. With other tragedies you know the who, what, when, where and why. With a missing person you are left with nothing but unanswered questions. You spend your time wondering what happened to them. Where are they? Are they hungry? Are they hurt? Are they alive? There are just so many unknowns. It is hard to not lose hope. You grieve, but it is not the same way that you grieve over the death of a loved one.
CO: How many missing persons are there in the U.S. today?
Layne: In the U.S. there are approximately 2,300 people that go missing every day. According to the Virginia State Police website, Virginia has about 285 missing children and 41 missing adults. Of the children’s cases, 32 are in the metro Richmond area with four in Chesterfield County. There are three adults listed as missing in the Chesterfield/ Richmond area. Out of these cases, CUE currently works on seven missing persons cases, one unidentified person killed in a car accident that we are trying to find the identity of and one unsolved homicide [Morgan Harrington].
CO:. People hear about kidnappings, such as the Elizabeth Smart case, and wonder why victims don’t work harder to try and escape. What happens to kidnap victims when they are held captive for long periods that leads to psychological apathy?
Layne: I am not a psychologist but in my own personal opinion I think people such as Elizabeth Smart and the three young ladies recently located in Ohio are true heroes. In these situations they did whatever it took to survive their terrible ordeals. You never know what kinds of threats or torture these people endure. Many may feel that they will be rescued soon and do what they need to stay alive. When rescue doesn’t occur, they continue with their survival techniques. Also, you can’t know that people don’t try to escape or fight and get caught.
CO: Talk about the local cases. What happened to Bethany Decker?
Layne: Bethany Decker disappeared in February 2011. She was 21 years old at the time and five months pregnant with her second child. Bethany was attending George Mason University full time and working at a local Italian restaurant while her husband was stationed in Afghanistan. Her young son was being cared for by her parents while she was in school. At the time of Bethany’s disappearance, she also had a local boyfriend who may have been the last person to see Bethany. Upon not being able to reach Bethany by phone, her grandparents went to her apartment to check on her. Bethany’s car was there but no sign of Bethany. There has been no trace of Bethany or her unborn child and no arrests have been made in her disappearance. Her case has gone cold.
CO: What happens to families like Decker’s when a case goes cold?
Layne: It is very difficult when cases go cold and it happens quicker than you can imagine. Families really struggle. Law enforcement moves on to new cases and the media moves on to the next sensational story. Friends and some family resume their normal lives and expect the family of the missing person to do the same. Those left behind are left lost and confused and struggle with feelings of guilt when they do have to resume the normal day-to-day duties of life. You feel as if you are somehow disrespecting the person that is missing. You feel that no one cares and no one understands. This is another area that CUE has tried to assist families.
Every March in Wilmington [Del.] they host a conference for families of the missing to come together and learn from one another’s experiences and learn new techniques to find our missing person. The Road Tour is another way to help families. The purpose of the tour is to help families regenerate interest with law enforcement, the media and the public to help locate their loved one.

Daughter Searches for Answers to Her Mother's Disappearance 42 Years Ago
Posted: Mar 28, 2016 5:26 PM PST
Updated: Mar 28, 2016 5:26 PM PST
The daughter of a woman who went missing 42 years ago has started a GoFundMe account to help her find her mother's remains.
The investigation began after Annita Price disappeared on her way to work in Marshall County.
Her car was found, but she was never seen again.
Her daughter was five years old at the time, but she has followed the case closely.
Now, five different cadaver sniffing dogs have indicated a spot where she believes the body was buried.
The land now belongs to a business and Annita's daughter needs resources to be able to search for and dig up her remains.
Madonna Layne, the daughter of Annita Price, told 7News "we're trying to recover our mother's remains from the area where we believe she was buried. The costs are going to be digging equipment, the experts to run the equipment, and then to repair the area back to its natural status once we're finished there once the recovery is completed."
To find out more, log onto the GoFundMe website and search "Bring Annita Home."
They hope to be able to dig in August.
They are joined in their efforts by WVU's forensic science, archeology and anthropology students, as well as the Cold Case Research Institute out of Atlanta.

42 Year Cold Case Heating Back Up
By Paige Madden
Posted: Aug 14, 2016 4:57 PM PST
Updated: Aug 15, 2016 2:26 AM PST
On May 30, 1974, Annita Price of Moundsville disappeared on her way to work. She was never found, and for 42 years, she has been listed as a missing person.
All these years later, her children are still trying to figure out what happened to their mom. With the help of the West Virginia State Police, they may soon have some answers in the cold case.
Madonna Layne was just five-years-old when her mother, Annita Price, was reported missing after she left for work, but never made it there.
A tip had come in in 2004 to the West Virginia State Police that lead the family to believe that foul play could have been involved.
42 years later, the family is back in Marshall County conducting a search where they believe Annita's body may be buried, near the Gypsum Plant.
"We've had dogs in the area, human remain dogs, run several times," Layne said. "Yesterday would have been I think the third or fourth time that we've had dogs run. Dogs keep alerting to something in this one particular area in front of the plant that we're looking at. We really feel like it's necessary to dig. Something is there."
In 1974, when Annita went missing, the Gypsum Plant didn't exist. The area where several human remain dogs have responded to is not covered by a road or building so it is possible to excavate.
The family and team of experts ran into some problems digging on Saturday, and they have to re-route a water source before the dig can continue. Layne and her brother said they are "cautiously optimistic" that the search will give them some of the answers they need.
Several groups of experts and workers are in town for the dig, but it is hard to tell when work will resume due to the water source relocation.
"We just want to find our mom. It's been 42 years, and we want to be able to put her to rest properly, and we just want answers," Layne said.
She said if the dig does not result in the discovery of her mother's remains, investigators will at least know they can turn their attention elsewhere, and help the family find some closure four decades past due.
