ONEIDA - Parents of missing children from around the country attended the opening ceremonies for the Ride for Missing Children Friday morning at the State Police barracks in Oneida.

Kelly Jolkowski's teenaged son, Jacob, disappeared without a trace in 2001. Friday, Jolkowski inspired the riders as they prepared to begin their journey.

She says that the work of these complete strangers on behalf of her son and other missing children has been a bright spot in the darkness of now knowing what happened to her son.

Also there Friday was Shirlette Green, of Utica. Police are still searching for her daughter, Ivory, who disappeared in March 2004.
