As a daughter desperately searching for her missing mother, I am urging the authorities to conduct a thorough search for Janice LaPlant in Lincoln, Alabama. My mother vanished in July of 2011 after leaving home to go to a gas station. She never returned, and since that night, there have been no traces of her—no movement on her Social Security number or any clue regarding her whereabouts. She simply disappeared into thin air, and the absence of any developments is devastating.

Recent excavations in the Pell City and Talladega areas have raised hope, but they are not focused on Lincoln, where my mother was last seen. While investigators have assured me that these efforts concern another case, the proximity of Lincoln to these areas suggests that searching here could be crucial. It is critical that we leave no stone unturned and investigate the area where my mom was last known to be. A focused local effort might uncover new leads in this long-standing case and provide the breakthrough we desperately need.

The emotional weight of not knowing my mother's fate is unbearable, not just for me but for everyone who cares about Janice. It's been over a decade without answers. My plea is for law enforcement and the community to refocus efforts specifically on Lincoln, Alabama—to explore every lead, search every possible area, and bring us closer to finding my mom.

We must act urgently to rally support and resources for a dedicated search operation in Lincoln. Every day counts, and we may yet find crucial evidence that can solve this heartbreaking mystery. Please sign this petition to show your support and demand immediate action in searching for Janice LaPlant. Together, we can reignite the hope for answers and bring justice to my mother's case.
