Community pulls together

It’s a phone call, text or message nobody wants to receive — that family friends or loved ones are missing. We’ve certainly had our share in the past few months here in Thermopolis.

When someone goes missing, it can cause plenty of worry and stress, along with a multitude of questions, but at the same time it’s amazing to see how the community comes together for one another and provides, whether it be eyes and ears to search, spreading notices across social media or just providing a comforting shoulder and someone to talk to.

An incident this Tuesday exemplified that community spirit, as people combed the town to find two missing juveniles.

But, while these two were found, there are still others from our town who have gone missing, leaving holes in the hearts of many, and we must continue to look for those individuals as well. Those with any information about missing persons, no matter how minute the details, are encouraged to share it with law enforcement. You might be holding a vital piece of the puzzle.

Let’s make sure that those who have gone missing know we’re still looking for them, and bring them home.
