GREENSBORO, N.C. — We are nearing the 6-month-mark of the missing person's case involving 25-year-old Marissa Carmichael.
Sunday morning, a search party went to her last known location.
"It's important for us to be out here almost every day looking for her," close friend Jamie Lipford shared.
The Exxon gas station on East Market Street in Greensboro was the first stop in canvassing the area. It's the last place Greensboro police said Carmichael was seen after a night out.
Lipford led the search to put flyers on gas pumps, cars, and trees.
"We're not gonna quit until she is found," she said.
Carmichael's family believes she went to the gas station after a night out and argued with the person who drove her there. Carmichael then made a chilling call to 911 asking for help, saying she was robbed and left at the Exxon. Her family then believes she left the gas station with someone else.
Now, about 150 days later, her family said they are picking up the pieces of what her disappearance left behind. Carmichael's mother told WFMY News 2 they had to make the hard decision to put her five children in foster care temporarily.
"It was a shock because of my health; I am not able to take care of all five of them," Sara Carmichael shared, "It seems to get harder and not easier at all."
While the family tries to adjust to Carmichael's absence, they continue to hold out hope for justice.
Greensboro police said they are investigating but have not shared if a suspect has been arrested or identified in this case.
The family said they plan to hold a prayer vigil in the near future.
