Vigil held for missing Granville mother

The family of a missing Granville County mother will hold a vigil Friday night in the parking lot of the First Baptist Church in Creedmoor.

Kelly Morris, 28, was last seen the night of Sept. 3 by her husband, Scott Morris, and two children at their home at 3220 Tump Wilkins Road in Stem. The home caught on fire the next day, and police found Morris' car, keys, purse and cell phone in an undeveloped subdivision.

The vigil will be held at 7 p.m.

Supporters gathered last month at the church to light candles and pray for Morris.

The fire at Morris' home has been classified as arson, and Granville County Sheriff David Smith has named Morris' husband, Scott, a person of interest in her disappearance.

At the time of the fire, there was no sign that Morris was in the home, Scott Morris was at work and the couples' two children were at school, investigators said.

Wanda Hollis, Morris' mother, said that her daughter's marriage was strained and that she had considered leaving her husband.

Family members are also asking for volunteers to continue the search for Morris this weekend.

Mom & I just left the vigil, it was beautiful, they released lavender balloons and prayed for Pat, Wanda and all their family. The Whites sang a lovely note with lots of POWER! They asked that we keep this going with the News and on the search. God Bless all of you who came tonight and who were there in our prayers. Hey all out there, lets keep Kelly's family in our hearts by keeping this post going @ #1 til she's found!!!

couldnt be at the vigil, but still praying for some answers. there are SO many people that have kelly and everyone involved in their prayers and thoughts, daily.

Pebbles... I think the issue with BC losing his kids is the fact that her family feels he is mentally unstable due to past suicide attempts. Correct me someone if I am wrong....

Still praying everyday for this family and community!!

Morris only has one child which was his and Kelly's together the other girl is with her father

I think it is a nice thing the posters and voters are doing to keep this story at the top. It is extremely sad that she vanished and I'm glad to see everyone hasn't given up.
