NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A quarter of a century ago, a Nashville mother disappeared without a trace.
On November 19, 1999, Laresha Deana Walker was supposed to head to Murfreesboro to get her car appraised. However, when her sister went to Laresha's home the following day, she was already gone.
The last time Rayvon saw his mother, he was just 2 years old. Rayvon told News 2 that he has faith and takes it "one day at a time."
"It's my mom, so it's hard," Rayvon said. "It's definitely hard. Every day, I just take it one day at a time. You've just got to have faith. That's all you can do at this point."
On Tuesday, Laresha's loved ones gathered near the spot where she was last seen to honor her memory. Rayvon said that family members usually gather on Laresha's birthday and on the anniversary of her disappearance.
Rayvon added that he was especially grateful that everyone braved Tuesday's dreary weather to show support and keep his mother's memory alive.
"Everybody deals with it in their own way," Rayvon said. "...Every day, we do what we can to keep our faith that we're going to figure out what happened.
Not only does the family keep faith with Laresha's case, but they're also still searching for answers in the disappearance of Laresha's mother Wanda Walker. Wanda went missing in October 2016.
Their cases are two of hundreds on Nashville's new cold case website. Entries on the website feature case descriptions and some images with the hope that people may come forward with fresh information.
Police have not been able to locate her red, four-door, 1995 Oldsmobile Achieva with the Tennessee license plate number 419ABG.
