A weekend barbecue has raised $2,500 for the continuing search for Jessie Foster. The former Kamloops resident left for Las Vegas a year ago and has since disappeared, with family last hearing from the 21-year-old on March 28.
A private investigator in Las Vegas has followed part of Foster's trail, discovering the young woman likely ended up on the streets as a prostitute, unbeknownst to her family back home. "It was unbelievable," said Jessie's mom, Glendene Grant, of Saturday's barbecue, which resulted in a larger than expected turnout.
With more than 100 people showing up, the fundraising dinner was moved from the family's backyard on Dominion Street to Lloyd George elementary a block away.
Money raised will go toward paying the bills for the private investigator who Grant said has uncovered and offered more information than the Las Vegas Police Department.
