LE needs to solve this. For whatever reason Austin Police Dept has just let this slip away. Maybe the person of interest (b/f) is a “friend” of theirs. There is a huge amount of potential evidence that they just let go by..interviewing the b/f, and his ex-g/f, the motel room, the motel staff, the survalence videos, the person who had her ID, the car the ID was found in, investigating the 300+ cell phone calls after she was missing, etc..etc..etc. APD has done nothing but ignore this case. The spotlight needs to shine on this Louis Walls guy.

Hello all,
Ok I am on a new mission,
I have been checking into a advertising billboard in the Rundberg–IH35 , austin tx area.
This to put a Roxannes name and picture out there for all to see.
I have calls in with a couple of companies, Lamar and Reagan, billboards
to get prices .
Yes it is very expensive
Approx=== $1,100.00 for the art work and $6000.00 for the space and time.
The reason that it is so pricey is the location
I am at my witts ends and continue to come with ideas in finding OUR ROXANNE
AKA TEAM ROXANNE.
This could also be a start in helping other families of missing love ones
maybe start a organzation.Which i have no idea how to go about it, but it is a start
I believe that The Good Lord has put this in my heart, my purpose,
So Please get back with me on ideas,suggestion and comments on this matter
Through God ,All thing are possible
Thank you
God Bless and Love
Elizabeth Harris and Family

18 Wheel Angels Campaign
——————————————————————————–
Roxanne is on Project Jason’s current 18 Wheel Angel campaign. A special poster has been made for her and can be downloaded and printed for placement. More information about the program, and the link for the poster can be found here:
Project Jason - Assistance for families of the missing
In addition to the campaign, Roxanne is also featured in a trucking publication called Through the Gears. This free magazine is distributed in truck stops nationwide.
Through the Gears is one of JB Scott’s many publications. In partnership with Project Jason, they feature one missing person 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. At my truck stop, they are in a special rack outside the main truck stop door. At another truck stop, they are in a hallway between the store and the trucker’s lounge.
Through the Gears has a circulation of about 150,000.
You can also see the current campaign information on this JB Scott webpage: 18 Wheel Angels
We hope this helps in the search for Roxanne.

Each day goes by is such a heartbreak, not knowing if I’ll see my daughter again, In this life time, But you are always with me, in every breathe I take
I miss you baby girl, I love you
All you scared monkeys in Austin watch for the billboard soon at Braker and IH 35 area.
