Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

And that happened to you, didn't it?

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

It did, unfortunately.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

And I just have to say those first two days was awful.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

My sister is not the one to go missing or disappear or run away from her kids.

Dateline NBC

And those two days was probably the hardest two days of my entire life because we couldn't do anything other than post on social media, say she's missing.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

We couldn't file a police report.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

We had to wait.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

Thank God I have the social media following that I have to really push through.

Dateline NBC

her story out and bring awareness and really get the ball going.

Colleen, you probably didn't even have social media when this began.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

Yes.

And to be honest, a lot of police departments do not take black women gone missing seriously.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

We won't get the same treatment as when Gabby went missing or when someone else went missing or when another race went missing.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

And it's unfortunate.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

Raven, are things changing?

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

The biggest thing for me is I wish we had the support from the police department.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

Yeah, so the Alexis Ware Act, that's something that our family has really been working very, very hard to get passed.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

The Alexis Ware Act, after 12 months, a year, that an individual's family member has been missing, we want it to be turned over to the FBI.

Dateline NBC
After the Verdict: The Ongoing Search for Answers โ€” A 'Missing in America' Panel

Have the police department release that case over to the FBI to have an extra resource that can really help with the family find their loved ones.

Dateline NBC

Travis, you experienced some of that, didn't you?
