In addition to the campaign, Sue is also featured in a national trucking publication, either Through the Gears or Independent Contractor. These free magazines are distributed in truck stops nationwide and have a circulation of about 150,000.

Through the Gears and Independent Contractor are two of Target Media Partner's many publications. In partnership with Project Jason, they each feature two missing persons each per month. You can pick up your free copies at a local truck stop, but if it's far from you, you may want to call and ask if they carry that magazine. These are NOT with the regular for purchase magazines.

You can also see the current campaign information on this Target Media Partners site: http://www.thetrucker.com/Features/Missing_Week_1.aspx

We hope this helps in the search for Sue. Please consider printing and placing a poster in businesses in your community.



Thank you.

Authorities Fear Missing Woman Victim Of Foul Play
Woman Disappears After Release From Jail
POSTED: 9:05 pm CST January 27, 2004
UPDATED: 9:37 pm CST January 27, 2004

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--Police are searching for a woman who may be the victim of foul play.

Karen Sue Hurst, 44, known as "Susie" by her family, has been missing for more than five months. She last spoke to her mother in August 2003, after being released from jail on a drug charge.

Jeanie Dunn didn't hear from her daughter again. Dunn first thought the silence was because her daughter was going through rehab. But when police showed her Hurst's mug shot with the word "prostitution" written it, Dunn began to fear the worst.

"She's kind of done her own thing and made havoc for herself," Dunn said. "It's like she was searching for something all throughout her life."

But Dunn says that doesn't diminish the tragedy if her daughter is, in fact, dead.

"She's my child. I want her home. I want some closure. I want to know where she's at," Dunn said.

Hurst (pictured) hung out with a drug hustler in Wichita, Kan., KMBC's Tom Corvin reported. Police and Hurst's family spoke with the man, who said he knows nothing.

Anyone with information about the woman's disappearance should call the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS.
