Churchgoers join search for pregnant woman

CHURCHES cancelled meetings and services to allow hundreds of congregants to flood neighbourhoods and go door-to-door in search of a missing pregnant woman whose disappearance has baffled friends and neighbours.

More than 3,000 people turned out on Sunday to distribute fliers and join the search for Lori Hacking.

Later Sunday, about 200 people attended a candlelight vigil at a park where the woman’s car was found and where it had been presumed that she disappeared while jogging. The family has been holding as many as two news conferences a day since the 27-year-old was reported missing, but they have been reluctant to face reporters since questions arose about the credibility of Hacking’s husband, Mark.
