The Aransas Pass community was shaken to the core when Blanca Elisa Roberson disappeared while walking to a friend’s house more than 36 years ago. And though some who lived in town at the time have since moved away, they recently came back to help honor Roberson and keep her memory alive as the search continues.
On Aug. 6, dozens of people gathered in front of Kielbarger Elementary for the annual memory walk in honor of Roberson, who was last seen on Aug. 6, 1989 as she walked to a friend’s house. The walk included Roberson’s sister Ruby Roberson Hall, as well as at least a couple dozen community members – some of whom drove from hours away to take part in the endeavor.
Those in attendance are adamant that the family deserves answers, and will do anything to help spread the word while keeping Elisa in the memory and minds of those in Aransas Pass and beyond…
