Vigil Highlights Unsolved Missing Persons Cases

The Fairbanks Native community gathered over the weekend for a vigil to increase awareness about an unusually high number of local missing persons, including several Native people. The outdoor vigil offered families of the missing an opportunity to share their stories, thank those who are aiding the ongoing search for answers, and call for new action. KUAC’s Dan Bross reports.
