In Loving Memory Of:Victoria Lee Wills Vickey Wills, age 14 did not come home from school on April 25, 1983. Her parents checked with her friends, family and school officials before reporting Vickey's disappearance to the proper authorities. When taking the police report the officer asked the following questions:
The answer to all these questions was NO. Although Vickey's family did not believe she had runaway, the police officer suggested to put this in their statement. Vickey was labeled a runaway juvenile who could not be picked up by authorities unless she committed a crime. Vickey's family was told runaway's were an everyday occurrence and were not taken seriously. Vickey's family never stopped looking for her. They traveled over 3,000 miles and distributed posters. After six painful months, on October 18, 1983 the skeletal remains of a teenage victim were found in Bithlo, Florida. (Approximately 15 miles from were she lived) On November 28, 1983 the remains were 90% positively identified as Vickey Wills. Vickey is the reason the Missing Children Center, Inc. exists. Vickey's Aunt Joan Thompson founded the Missing Children Center, Inc. in 1984. Central Florida families will never have to face such a tragedy alone ever again. The memory of Vickey Wills Lives on through the work of the Missing Children Center.
