EULESS It's been an incredibly hard four years for David Charbonneau. In that time, his son died in a motorcycle crash and his 24-year-old daughter went missing.
Police believe she was murdered.
On Saturday, Charbonneau hoped for a break in his daughter's case, thanking volunteers for agreeing to search the last place Kristen was presumed to be before she disappeared in August, 2005.
I hope we find her, and that's a hard thing to say but thank you guys, so much, Charbonneau told the volunteers as they set out to search by foot and by four-wheeler.
It's very hard for a father or a mother to say, 'I'm looking for a daughter's skeleton,' and that's exactly what I'm doing out there, Charbonneau said.
Euless police said they have eliminated as suspects everyone Kristen knew, except for one person a customer at Baby Dolls, the Forth Worth men's club where Kristin was a dancer.
That person will not cooperate with investigators.
The person of interest was last seen leaving the club with Kristen that day, said police investigator Kimberly Althouse. We had an employee pick him out of a photo lineup.
Searchers came up empty on Saturday. But since it is very difficult to charge someone with murder without the victim's body, the Charbonneaus say they will press on.
We're not going to give up, David Charbonneau said. We're not giving up.
