Family and friends of a missing Hannibal woman hoped to rekindle her memory and remind folks of her disappearance.

Thursday was Christina Whittaker's 22nd birthday.  A candle light vigil was held at Central Park that night to remember her special day.

You'll recall Whittaker went missing nearly five months ago after leaving a Hannibal tavern late one night in November.

Christina's mother, Cindy Young, says special days like this are hard for her and her family.

That's why they wanted to keep the lights burning for her safe return.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of Christina, call the Hannibal Police Department or private investigator involved in this case at (217) 228-9114.  Your tips will be held strictly confidential.

The family is also raffling off a rifle to raise money to pay for the private investigator.  You can buy tickets this Saturday at Farm and Home Supply in Hannibal.  The drawing will be held March 31st at 1p.m. in Hannibal's Riverfront Park.
