Woodland's New Life Community Church had a quite emotional vigil as answers are continually being unfolded regarding the case of two missing Yolo County teens. 16-year-old Rios went missing Oct. 7 while 17-year-old Elijah Moore went missing Nov. 4.
The Yolo County Sheriff's Department declared the disappearance of 16-year-old Enrique Rios suspicious. Rios' friend, Elijah Moore, had his disappearance said suspicious last month by Woodland Police, Sacramento CBS reported.
Loved ones of Rios and Moore came together for the candlelight vigil to intercede for shedding light on the disappearance of the teens. Rios' mother went emotional during the vigil as she also expressed her grief about the possibility that some people may have known things about the disappearance of her son but such persons are not saying anything.
"It's not getting any easier it's getting harder," mother Lola Rios said.
It was devastating for the family and friends of the two teens as weeks have already passed with no signs of co-classmates and co-workers.
Public's assistance is very significant for the Yolo County Policemen, according to Deputy Sergeant Matthew Davis. He said in an interview that there must be someone even from the teens who knows where the two were but they are not speaking.
Rios and Moore worked at a construction training program at the Yolo County Fairgrounds. They were on this as part of a probation program with their high school.
New Life Community Church is open for monetary assistance for the continuous search of the two teens. Proceeds will go to finance the expenses for a private investigator for the families or creating a reward for information leading to the missing teens.
Nearly 2000 children are reported missing or abducted in the U.S. every day and teenagers are the most frequent victims of both non-family abductions and stereotypical kidnappings, according to statistics. 81 percent of which were children who are 12 years of age or older.
