From Teresa's best friend, Amy:

On Sunday, Nov. 26, 2006, we will be having a candlelight vigil/benefit in honor of Teresa Lynn Butler's 36th birthday. This is a celebration of life and of hope. Full Circle, a very popular local gospel group, has donated their time that afternoon to come and sing a few songs. Anyone who knew Teresa and would like to say a few words about her is welcome to do so. We will pass a flame of hope throughout the church; hope that Teresa will soon come back to us. Brenda, Teresa's sister, is planning to release 36 pink balloons in honor of Teresa's birthday. Pink was one of Teresa's favorite colors and that color scheme will be carried throughout this benefit. We will have pink ribbons with Teresa's name on them. We will also have pink bows on the candles. We are also planning to serve birthday cake and a few other refreshments in the fellowship hall of the church. Please come on out and attend this celebration of Teresa with us. And I also want to mention that we will be taking a love offering for Teresa's sons to help get them anything that they might need this time of year. This is just a love offering. If you can give, that would be great, but if you can't, then just being there to celebrate with us is gift and love enough. There are also about 15 t-shirts with Teresa's picture on them that will be for sale. Brenda will have them at the church. The price for those is $15 each. Here is the information about this event.

When--November 26, 2006
Time-- 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm
Where--Pleasant View General Baptist Church in Risco, MO

RISCO, Mo. -- A crowd of approximately 50 people turned out at the Pleasant View Baptist Church here Sunday to pay testament to a friend, daughter, wife and mother who vanished from her home nearly a year ago.

"It was her birthday, and definitely an emotional experience," said Amy Lacey, who traveled from Mississippi to attend the event in honor of her best friend, the missing Teresa Butler. "I had a big speech all planned.

"But I broke down into an emotional mess," she added. "I'm just glad I wasn't the only one."

Indeed. A number of friends and family members had tough times expressing the joy the missing woman brought to their lives.

Search for Butler in vain.

Wednesday, December 20, 2006

TALLAPOOSA, Mo. -- Police investigators used heavy equipment here Tuesday in their relentless search for a missing Risco woman.
However, New Madrid County Sheriff Terry Stevens said at approximately 6 p.m. Tuesday that officers' quest to locate Teresa Butler, who was 35 when she vanished from her Risco home in late January, was in vain.

"We had heard rumors that she was killed and buried out here," Stevens said Tuesday morning at Tallapoosa near Missouri 153. "The rumors spread like wildfire.

"So, I decided it was our responsibility to come here, dig around and either find Teresa, or not," he added. "We have about half my force out here, and investigators from the Missouri State Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control and the Sikeston Department of Public Safety."

Missouri Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Sgt. Dale Moreland said personnel staged the area Monday, and that 20 officers and detectives arrived at the location Tuesday.

The area resembled an archaeological excavation, complete with a front-end loader, sifting boxes, and scores of investigators wielding hand tools, chest-deep in open pits.

A year without Teresa Butler

Friday, February 2, 2007
By Jennifer Freeze ~ Southeast Missourian

RISCO, Mo. -- What happened to Teresa Butler?

That's a question the 400 residents of this rural New Madrid County town want answered. Fliers for the missing woman hang from the windows of the lone convenience store along Highway 62. Every Sunday, the congregation of the First Baptist Church of Risco says a prayer for her. Along with Butler's family, they pray for answers.

New Madrid County Sheriff Terry Stevens thinks she met with foul play. So does her husband, Dale Butler. Her parents, Don and Linda Buchanan, say they think Dale knows more about her disappearance than he's telling.
