Florida ranks third in the nation for open missing person cases, and families of missing adults often feel forgotten. Events like Florida Missing Adults’ Day are crucial for showing these families that they are seen, heard, and loved.

Missing Adult Day in Northeast Florida serves as a reminder of the ongoing search for answers and the importance of community support in bringing closure to families affected by these unsolved cases.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A vigil was held Sunday afternoon to remember a man who disappeared 20 years ago from his Jacksonville home. Family members still want justice for Rowan and to finally put his body to rest. During Sunday’s vigil at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, loved ones sang and read poems. Rowan’s mother, Margaret Peg Rowan, said a day doesn’t go by where she doesn’t think of her son. There were other families at the vigil that have also never found their loved ones.
