Rally to honor Kenney, renew interest in case

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

On Sunday, Feb. 27, family members, friends and volunteers with Missouri Missing will host a Tribute Rally for Cheryl Ann Kenney who has been missing for 20 years. Kenney was reported missing from Nevada on Feb. 27, 1991, after closing the convenience store she worked at on Austin Boulevard. Kenney's family and friends have not heard from her or had any contact with her since that date.

The Tribute Rally marks the 20th anniversary of her disappearance and is intended to let the public, the media and her family know that she has not been forgotten.

During the Tribute Rally, a representative from the city of Nevada will present Kenney's family with a proclamation declaring the day to officially be known as "Cheryl Kenney Day."

The Tribute Rally is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday and will be followed with a caravan from Nevada to the Capitol steps in Jefferson City.

The Tribute Rally is open to the public and anyone who has information about Cheryl Kenney is encouraged to attend.

"Missouri Missing encourages anyone who knew Cheryl to attend the rally," said Ra'Vae Edwards, executive director.

"We are proud to be a part of the rally. Her family deserves answers and we want everyone to know that Cheryl has not been forgotten."

The Tribute Rally will be held in the parking lot of Nevada Auto Credit, located at 1624 E. Austin Blvd; next door to the convenience store where Cheryl was last seen.

Missouri Missing is a non-profit organization based in Jefferson City. Volunteers with Missouri Missing work countless hours each year to bring awareness to the hundreds of missing person cases across the state.
