Family Of Missing Pair Postpones Conference
Boy, Grandmother Missing Since May 12
DELTONA, Fla. -- A family member of a missing Deltona boy and his grandmother was scheduled to ask for help Friday in the search for the pair, but the meeting has been postponed, according to WKMG News.
Joanne Miller, who is a family member of missing 77-year-old Lilian Martin and Joshua Bryant, wanted to hold a press conference in hopes that more attention will be focused on a case that has gone cold.
Recently, a bumper sticker with pictures of Martin and Bryant was placed on a NASCAR Chevy during a nationally televised Busch Series race.
However, no strong leads were developed from the exposure.
Fox's "America's Most Wanted: America Fights Back" also featured a small segment on Joshua and his grandmother in May. The Deltona mystery was part of a four-minute "APB" (all points bulletin) segment that aired about 20 minutes into the hour-long show. However, operators for the show did not receive any strong leads.
The Volusia County sheriff said that the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Bryant and Martin was the strangest disappearance he has seen in his career.
There's no question that national exposure has the potential to be "extremely important," Volusia County Sheriff's Office spokesman Gary David said.
Anyone with information about Joshua Bryant and Lillian Martin can call Crime Stoppers of Volusia County toll free at (888) 277-TIPS. Callers may remain anonymous and receive rewards of up to $1,000.
