And that happened to you, didn't it?
It did, unfortunately.
And I just have to say those first two days was awful.
My sister is not the one to go missing or disappear or run away from her kids.
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.
We couldn't file a police report.
We had to wait.
Thank God I have the social media following that I have to really push through.
her story out and bring awareness and really get the ball going.
Colleen, you probably didn't even have social media when this began.
Yes.
And to be honest, a lot of police departments do not take black women gone missing seriously.
We won't get the same treatment as when Gabby went missing or when someone else went missing or when another race went missing.
And it's unfortunate.
Raven, are things changing?
The biggest thing for me is I wish we had the support from the police department.
Yeah, so the Alexis Ware Act, that's something that our family has really been working very, very hard to get passed.
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.
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.
Travis, you experienced some of that, didn't you?
