Search continues for Jared Hanna, missing since 2011

WHITE HALL - Two Rivers Crime Stoppers continues to seek information to try to bring Jared Hanna back home to Jerseyville.

"We don't want the public to forget about Jared, which sometimes happens in a cold case," said Two Rivers Crime Stoppers secretary Brenda Schulte said. "During the White Hall Police Department's Fall Festival, we had some young ladies go around and hand out Jared's Missing Person flier, along with putting them on vehicles. This is one of those cases that just bothers you."

Heather Hanna, sister of Jared, said: "We want to bring him home and get closure. "We've prepared ourselves for the worst, but always hope for the best."
