A special panel presentation featuring the parents of missing young adults Suzanne Lyall and Craig Frear as well as law enforcement officials working on their respective cases, will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., Oct. 27 in the Bulmer Telecommunications Center auditorium.
The event, “Abduction Awareness of Children and College Students,” is sponsored by the Criminal Justice and Forensic Association. The event is free to students with ID, and donations will be accepted at the door to fund more billboards for the missing.
Suzanne’s parents, Doug and Mary Lyall, were successful in pushing for federal legislation, which is often called “Suzanne’s Law.” The federal statute requires local police to notify the National Crime Information Center when someone between 18 and 21 is reported missing. It was signed into law by President Bush as part of the national “Amber Alert” bill. The law is intended to spur police to initiate prompt investigations into missing young people.
