A crowd of over 20 people stood in the pouring rain Saturday in front of the RCMP detachment in Hampton, N.B., to bring awareness to a missing person’s case.

David Alexander Mitchell from the Quispamsis area has been missing since early September.

His mother Cathy Mitchell Cooper was one of the protestors who stood in the rain Saturday to make sure her son is not forgotten, and the case gets the attention she feels it deserves.

“I need answers. I need answers from the RCMP,” said Mitchell Cooper. “It’s 73 days today. Myself, the community are heartbroken. We need answers as to where my son is.”

Mitchell Cooper said the protest was organized in hopes of receiving more information from the RCMP in Hampton and Sussex.

“I need updates. I’m upset and frustrated as many are with the pace of this case with the RCMP,” she said. “I need to bring my son home wherever he is. I need to find him. I need closure. We’re devastated. We miss him.”
