Search for missing Granville mom focuses on husband

Kelly Morris was last seen on Sept. 3. The next day, police found her car, keys, purse and cell phone in an undeveloped subdivision, shortly after firefighters responded to a fire at her home, 3220 Tump Wilkins Road.

The Granville County sheriff has said her husband, Scott Morris, is a person of interest her disappearance.

cookie is right, not all cases have DNA, however arson wouldn't either, it would have been destroyed and the person who set the fire probably knew that too. I pray everyday for Pat to find his littlegirl, and for answers to all these accusations. Maybe soon we will all have the answers we seek. Prayers and thoughts for the Currin family and those preciuos little girls.

Okay GodBless....truce. Like Pat Currin said, hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Hopefully, the answers will come soon. This has touched the hearts of so many people; therefore, we all need the closure. Faith is believing in the unknown so having faith that Kelly will be found alive is good. But as time goes on, keeping that faith gets harder.

I wish that they could find Kelly's body so that the family can have some closure. I know that they are devastated to have their daughter disappear without a trace. If Scott did it then he should be a man and tell them where she is. Why does one have to be murdered. Why can't they just walk away. dwannyo1,Durham,NC
