It was hard to find a dry eye during the emotional vigil friends and family of Misti Whitfield held at McCall Park in Historic Downtown Plant City on May 10.
It’s been one year since Whitfield has disappeared. She was last seen May 2, 2013, near Nautical Marine, 5525 W. Hillsborough Ave. It is unlike the 36-year-old mother of five to disappear without checking in with her family. Although the case is still classified as a missing person case and detectives have no evidence of a crime at this point, as more time passes, the family and detectives are growing more concerned.
Tampa Police Department Det. Scott Bullard was available at the vigil for family and friends to ask questions.
Anyone with information about this case should call the Tampa Police Department, (813) 231-6130. Anonymous tips can be made through Crime Stoppers, 1-800-873-TIPS.
