Nearly a month and a half after a Gwinnett County college student disappeared many of the leads in the case have gone cold. But Sunday night, the family of Justin Gaines gathered in Snellville for a vigil to pray for his safe return.
Nearly 100 people gathered in the hopes that others would hear their prayers. “This Thursday will be six weeks that I haven’t seen or talked to my son,” said Gaines’ mother, Erika Wilson.
But so far, those prayers have remained unanswered.
But new clues are emerging. Just this week, private investigators released a surveillance tape from the Wild Bills nightclub, the last place Gaines was seen on November 1.
“Security guards were saying he was in good spirits,” Wilson said. Guards saw Gaines get into a car.
After countless hours of combing the area around Wild Bills, Gaines’ family is finding they have nowhere else to look. “It’s really hard to realize that we really don’t know where he is,” Wilson said.
So, friends and families continue to put the spotlight on Gaines, not letting anyone forget who he is, and that he’s missing.
