The search continues for an Auburn woman who has been missing for two weeks. Thirty-one-year-old Cherri Dawson was last seen by family members on Saturday, October 8th. Her grandmother, Mae Howard, says the family is clinging to hope that she will come home.
"She told her son that he was going to have a little sister. Oh and that was the joy of his heart. [He said,] ‘Mommy, you're going to have me a little sister' and she said, ‘yes,'" said Howard.
What should be a happy time celebrating a new baby has been shadowed with grief. Howard says Dawson is five months pregnant with a little girl. She says the last weekend anyone saw her, Dawson was shopping for baby clothes.
However, Dawson has not contacted anyone in two weeks. Howard says she has not even called her 7-year-old son. The family's worry turned to panic when investigators found Dawson's car burned to its metal frame on a rural road in Chambers County about two weeks ago.
Howard says her family has been hit with tragedy in the past when her daughter, Dawson's mother, was violently killed nearly 10 years ago.
