WKAPFM ORGANIZES WORLDWIDE CANDLELIGHT VIGIL Amanda Palmer has been missing for more than a month. The police have few leads, but the community is banding together to do what they can to bring the Boston singer home.
Sometime next month, fans and friends--- although she hardly seemed to distinguish between the two--- of Amanda Palmer will gather to share their stories of the missing performer, in the hopes that drawing attention to the stalled case will bring new leads. Vigils will be held all over the world, as Palmer's art has reached international audiences. "We're still working out the date and time of when the vigils will happen," Fox said. "We're also looking for volunteers who want to organize a vigil in their city. We're really trying to come together on this." "I hope this vigil will keep Amanda in everyone's field of view... that will be the key in bringing her home," said Beth Hommel, Palmer's assistant and friend. "She can't be gone. It doesn't seem real. I see her in a crowd a dozen times a day, and then I blink and she's... nowhere." Others in Palmer's world seem less sure. "All the vigils in the world won't change the fact that we don't know where she is," said Palmer's former manager, Koosh Nall. "If you really want to find her, don't waste your time lighting candles and singing hymns. That won't [expletive deleted] find her." Until evidence of Palmer's fate is discovered, the vigils will go on and the anecdotes will be shared. Fox seemed close to tears as he recently recounted a story on the air. "A girl called the station and told me that she was seventeen, and a photographer, and Amanda gave her a chance when no one else would. She encouraged this kid, just like she pushed all of us to make art." Many of Palmer's fans agreed. "Amanda has changed my life in such a positive way and such a short amount of time by bringing people together," said Audrey, who was recently featured in a music video for Palmer's "Leeds United." Another fan named Sarah, who planned to attend a vigil in the UK, summed up the sentiments of many. "... all I know is that Amanda--everything about her, her music, personality, look, art, etc.---has changed me for the better."
