18 Wheels Turn Nationwide for Missing Boy
SWINK, OKLAHOMA, (NAMC) A fathers love for his son knows no bounds, and when that son has been ripped from his arms, he will move Heaven and Earth to find him. The caption above his photo simply states: MISSING.
He is Justin Harris, 14, of Casper, WY, missing since February 15, 2004.
It is not such a simple matter for his father, Phillip Harris, an over the road truck driver, who is doing everything he can to find Justin, as his heart is breaking as he fears for the well-being and safety of his son.
Strangers across the country are also helping Justins father in many ways, and now some of the countrys best natural networkers, truck drivers, are going to help find the young man by their participation in the 18 Wheel Angels program.
18 Wheel Angels is a national missing persons locator program spearheaded by nonprofit organization Project Jason. The program enlists the aid of truck drivers and business travelers to place posters of missing persons along their routes as they travel across the country. Participants are asked to go to the 18 Wheel Angels link on the Project Jason website at www.projectjason.org, and to then download and print as many posters as they can place. Anyone can participate. Justin Harris 18 Wheel Angel campaign began on March 1st.and will run through the 15th.
In addition to the 18 Wheel Angels campaign, Project Jason, working together with JB Scott Publishing of Anniston, AL, has featured Justin in the monthly publication, Through the Gears. He is also on their website at www.truckjobseekers.com.
Justins father, Phillip has also arranged for two billboards in the Casper area which now bear his sons photo. He will be featured in the April issue of Over the Road magazine.
Phillip remembers his son as kind, considerate, helpful, and lovable. Justin is a very quiet and shy boy, he could get along with any one he would sit for hours on end and play with his hot wheel cars or give a helping hand where needed he enjoyed trucks, cars and drawing such as well. If only I could see him right now, I would tell him that Jacob, Jodie, Kay Marie and I love him dearly and miss him with all our hearts, and that I am still here and fighting for him and wish he were here.
Phillip says that when he finds Justin, he will take some time off to go fishing with his son. When asked what the public can do, he responded: Individuals can help by placing a poster in their place of employment and sending it to all their family and friends with the friends and family doing the same to pass the flyers around, so they can keep their eyes pealed. Please take 1 extra minute to look at a child to be sure and then contact local authorities, but not only with my son but all children, they can look and see how the child is acting with the adult to see if everything is normal between the two.
As awareness is key in missing persons cases, it is important for Justins face to be seen so that he can be found and reunited with his family.
Project Jason was founded by Kelly Jolkowski, mother of missing Omaha, NE youth Jason Jolkowski. The all volunteer groups mission is to create and increase public awareness of missing people through a variety of outreach and educational activities. Project Jason seeks to bring hope and assistance to families of the missing by providing resources and support.
Justin is a white male, 5 tall and 110 lbs with blonde hair and green eyes.
