Looking For An Angel: We Can’t Find Those We Can’t See

Thursday, April 11, 7 p.m.
Center of Clayton
50 Gay Avenue
Clayton, MO 63105

Please let us know you’re coming here.

There are currently over 1,300 missing persons from Missouri and the number grows daily throughout the year. Unfortunately, a plethora of the missing adults and children don’t have flyers and are only represented by silhouettes or “no image” at all! 

If your loved one went missing would you know what to do or who to call? If you were “allowed” to make a missing person report, how would you expect police to respond? Do police search for individuals reported missing? Would your missing loved one’s case make the news? Do you know how to locate and use Missouri’s missing persons database?

Join us to hear about how Looking For An Angel increases awareness of missing persons, helps those navigating the missing person process, and educates the community about obstacles faced when individuals are missing. Learn what you can do to address the missing person epidemic.

Speaker:

Theda Wilson is founder and president of Looking For An Angel, a nonprofit organization she created in memory of her missing murdered child, Christian Taylor Ferguson. Her organization works to increase awareness of missing persons and to help families navigate the missing persons process. In her role at Looking For An Angel, Wilson advocates for families with missing loved ones, supports families at vigils, memorials and funerals, educates citizens, law enforcement and public officials about the missing person epidemic, informs the community of missing person laws, helps families navigate the missing person process, teaches children and adults what they can do to be safe in hopes of preventing disappearances, and collaborates with other organizations in the community.

Wilson was born in St. Louis, Missouri in the Mark Twain neighborhood on the city’s northside. She has been an activist all her life working to establish justice and represent those that can’t speak and advocate for themselves or are afraid to do so.

Wilson has a bachelor of science in educational studies from Harris Stowe State University, where she received HSSU Academic Honorable Mention and was a member of Kappa Delta Pi Honor Society. She previously taught for St. Louis Public Schools and worked as a family and community specialist at Stix Early Childhood Center.
