My 25th Caravan to Catch a Killer tour-Driving with Britt on Route 66 has now added 1000 miles to my 350000 miles through 48 States on 24 previous tours. Contacts in Tulsa, Joplin, Springfield MO, and a great meeting of multiple families in St. Louis (that will now meet as a group) have made the trip rewarding. After such success in the multi-family group meeting in St. Louis , the lack of interaction in the Bloomington/Normal/Springfield area with two events-yesterday 7/5 and today 7/6 of Networking at Panera, had no participants, I have learned this is a hard path and not every city, not every person feels safe to come to the events. I want people to take care of themselves. That is why I keep doing this.
But as I age, (now 71) I just have one request. I have been doing CARAVANS for 19 years. 350000 miles thru 48 States on 24 previous tours. With as much as I covered, I still will never reach all the families that a National news show on CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX or any other National coverage would. I live by the pod casts we get but many families do not know of these. National news could help publicize that. There are Coldcase families, missing families and more sitting on the shadows of every city in the USA. When these famous murders and missing get coverage, these millions of families ache in the silence of their stories.
*******Tell them how cold case/missing families travelling this path of unknown when something happens, is, on the 100th anniversary of Route 66, like the building of Route 66; face with a need for connection, facing roadblocks, trials and tribulations , more loss but resilience that leads them to connect
Lets help them!!!
National news tell me they have millions of families writing them and they can't tell every story but when multiple write them about the same story, they think it will sell.
SOOOOOOOO Please send just a few sentences to any of the National shows (listed above or you know of). You can find them by searching on FB Instagram X, Youtube and more
Then ask five of your friends to do so, and ask them to ask five of their friends. National news picks stories they think people are interested in an d often won't do the stories where it is only the family contacting them.
YOU CAN WRITE JUST A FEW SENTENCES. Are you aware of the mother who has traveled 350000 miles through 48 States on 25 tours, all self funding with four different cars, each wrapped with her murdered daughters picture and Caravan to catch a killer on all sides. While started to help solve her daughters murder, for at least 10 years it has been used to network with cold case / missing families, to help with advocating their cases, telling their stories, helping them find resources, helping them to create their own support network.
PLEASE HELP !! WE NEED NATIONAL MEDIA, not just local) NATIONAL MEDIA TO ABOUT AND WHY THE CARAVAN TO CATCH A KILLER TOUR EXISTS TO HELP ALL COLDCASE/MISSING US FAMILIES TO CONNECT, THIS TIME ON ROUTE 66!!!
