Desirea Ferris still missing 8 years later despite searches, tips, and public interest
A young woman from Liberty is still missing, despite years of searches, calls for tips, and public interest.
May 1 is the last time Desirea Ferris' family last saw her.
KSHB 41 investigative reporter Sarah Plake did
extensive reporting on Ferris' case for several years.
The case got a lot of attention, but police still haven't gotten the one tip that'll bring Ferris home.
The Liberty Police Department posted on social media on the anniversary of her disappearance, asking for the public's help.
"We remain committed to finding answers and bringing closure to Desirea's loved ones," the post read. "Someone out there knows something — no tip is too small. Please help us share her story."
Ferris' stepmom, Jennifer Ferris, gave KSHB 41 News this statement: "Our hearts are filled with great sadness as we continue to search for Desirea 8 years later. We are grateful for all of the support from our community, friends, and law enforcement that have had a thankless job with this case. Myself and my family and Desi's step-family will never give up the hope of finding her. She deserves to be found, she deserves her closure. We miss her immensely and love her deeply. Wherever she is, I hope she knows that."
