Denise Horvath-Allan didn91裸聊视频檛 get answers to the questions that have haunted her for 28 years when Britain91裸聊视频檚 Got Talent turned the spotlight toward her, but she did get some much needed support.
Horvath-Allan91裸聊视频檚 son Charles went missing from Kelowna in 1989 and since that time she91裸聊视频檚 tirelessly searched for answers that have never materialized. Traveling from London to the Okanagan to find answers has depleted her financially and emotionally, and few people in her home country knew what she was going through, leaving her increasingly isolated.
Some of that changed with the Missing People Choir.
91裸聊视频淪inging and being part of the Missing People Choir is so uplifting 91裸聊视频� I can sing my heart out for Charles,91裸聊视频� she said.
There was comfort in being with people who knew what she was experiencing. Everyone in the choir has also suffered the loss of a loved one who simply vanished and their songs, I Miss You, Wings and With You convey the depths of that shared experience.
But when the choir competed on Britain91裸聊视频檚 Got Talent that network of support widened.
The choir recently placed 8th in the TV competition that attracts nine million viewers per episode, but it was clear from reams of press coverage that the stories of the men and women in the choir captured the attention of the UK.
91裸聊视频淚t has been a very lonely road to walk for 28 years,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 good that the public are becoming more aware of Charles91裸聊视频� case at home.91裸聊视频�
Now, she hopes, there will be more positive returns on the show, despite the fact it91裸聊视频檚 concluded.
91裸聊视频淲e certainly raised awareness around the world and made some noise for the missing 91裸聊视频� well, I hope we did,91裸聊视频� she said.
Charles went missing when he was 20 years old while he was backpacking through Canada.
91裸聊视频淭here isn91裸聊视频檛 a minute your mind is free from the pain and heartbreak,91裸聊视频� Horvath-Allan said in a clip for the show before the performance aired.
The performance itself brought tears to the eyes of both audience members and the four-person panel of judges, who later gave their full support of the choir.
91裸聊视频淟ook, guys first of all I have to pay you absolute respect for what you91裸聊视频檝e done,91裸聊视频� said judge Simon Cowell. 91裸聊视频淪ometimes I think awareness is just as important as anything else. So, it91裸聊视频檚 incredible.91裸聊视频�
The Capital News spoke to Horvath-Allan earlier this year, and touched base with her about where the investigation into her son91裸聊视频檚 death stood.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 getting older now at age 67, so there isn91裸聊视频檛 much time left,91裸聊视频� said Horvath-Allan, who has been searching for son Charles Horvath since May 26,1989.
She believes the secret of what happened to her son was somewhere around the Tiny Town campsite where her son had been staying in a tent, but tangible clues to assist the police investigation have not been found.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 the hardest thing to deal with in your life. My world has been a roller-coaster to hell. I91裸聊视频檓 tired now and I want to get off and see it resolved,91裸聊视频� said Horvath-Allan.
91裸聊视频淏ut I91裸聊视频檝e always said as long as I can stand, walk and talk, I will keep searching for my son. As a friend said to me once, 91裸聊视频楧on91裸聊视频檛 let the buggers get you down,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� she said.
