Vigil Remembers Missing Woodstock Woman

Posted: 11:53 p.m. EST December 18, 2005

Family and friends held a vigil Sunday night for Sue Ann Ray, a Woodstock woman who disappeared nearly four months ago.

A $106,000 reward has failed to turn up any clues in her disappearance. Organizers of the vigil said they hoped it would jog the conscience of someone in the community.

They gathered at the Canton Wal-Mart parking lot where Ray's vehicle was discovered Aug. 29, three days after she vanished.

They released balloons carrying information about Ray.

"Who knows where the balloons will pop?" Ray's sister, Sandy Chasm, told WSB-TV. "It may land in the right people's hands who saw someone parking this van here, who saw someone taking her wherever they took her."

Ray's 6-year-old daughter, Charity, lives with her godmother, Leslie Colley, who says the girl asks where her mother is.

"I don't know the answer,"Colley said. "I just tell her that we're trying to find her. I can't tell her that she's not coming back. I can't tell her that she is coming back."

For Ray's father, Danny Jenkins, not knowing has been difficult.

"If hell is any worse than this, I don't know," Jenkins said. "It's tough not knowing where your little girl is, whether she's laying out in the woods rotting, whether she went through a wood-chipper like I was told."
