WASHINGTON CITY — It has been five months since Courtney Lynne Townsend disappeared and her family hasn't stopped seeking her return for a single moment.
As previously reported in St. George News, the St. George Police Department issued a missing persons notice for Townsend on Jan. 8.
"I just hope that she knows I'm not going to give up on her," Dallas Jimenez, Townsend's sister, told St. George News Saturday at a candlelight vigil held by the family at Nisson Park, in Washington City.
"I'm not going to let her be put on the back burner and be forgotten," she added.
The past five months have been a "roller coaster," Jimenez said, noting that she herself has had seizures because of the mental health toll her sister's disappearance has taken.
"I miss hanging out with her. She's got such a bubbly personality," Jimenez said about her sister. "She's a really big people person. I used to be so jealous of how good she is with people. I miss her uplifting personality. She's my sister. She was my first best friend."
