🕯️ Preorders Are Open: The Names We Carry 🕯️

This shirt tells the story of why Alabama Cold Case Advocacy exists.

The Names We Carry features the names of missing and murdered individuals connected to cases we’ve received or identified through our research since 2022, arranged in the shape of Alabama. Each name represents a life that mattered and a case that still deserves attention.

Most names appear in black, representing cases that remain unresolved. A select number appear in our signature blue, honoring cases that have seen resolution or meaningful movement and reminding us that it is never too late for answers.

This is more than apparel. It’s remembrance, visibility, and a quiet statement that these cases are not forgotten.

Preorders are now open.

Special thank you to Miriam Omura for designing the graphic featured on this year’s shirt. You can see more of her work in the link below.

Sarah Snyder highlighted Kelley’s case on ABC 33/40 this evening. The link is in the comments if you missed it!

It's been over 13 years since 41-year-old Kelley Henderson Howard was last seen leaving Riverside Family Dentistry on Hwy 78 in Riverside, AL. Kelley was on the phone with her mother while the office was closed for lunch when someone approached the door and Kelly asked her to wait a moment while she answered, only Kelley never came back and hasn't been heard from since.

If you have any information, please contact Riverside Police Department, St. Clair County Sheriff's Office, or submit an anonymous tip via CrimeStoppers of Metro Alabama (www.crimestoppersmetroal.com).

A spark is hope.
A flame is answers.
A wildfire is what happens when a community refuses to forget.

Operation Safe Return is our long-term commitment to keeping missing children and vulnerable adults visible across Alabama, one billboard, one face, one family at a time.

Text OSR to 53555 or use the link in the comments to help fund statewide billboards that keep these cases in public view and bring them closer to answers.

Together, this is how we guide them home.
