Facebook Post:

Ali Lowitzer was only 16 years old when she mysteriously vanished from her hometown of Spring, Texas, on April 26, 2010.

That Monday after school, Ali told her mom she was walking to the Burger Barn, where she worked, to pick up her paycheck. Surveillance video from Ali’s school bus confirms she got off at her stop around 3:00 p.m. It was the last time she was seen.

Through the years, Ali’s mother, JoAnn Lowitzer, has never lost hope. She transformed her pain into advocacy, raising awareness for missing persons across the country. In 2015, she founded #NationalMissingPersonsDay, which is observed each year on Ali’s birthday.
