It's been two months since a Fort Worth woman went missing in Plano and while investigators said they don't have any new leads, Christina Morris' family is still holding out hope.
The family said every day is more difficult, though.
"We need a lot of strength today. And we need an army of people to get us through this," Morris' mother Jonni McElroy said. "Yesterday was probably the hardest day for me since this has happened."
Family and friends planned a candlelight vigil Thursday evening at Bishop Park, near the Shops at Legacy where Morris, 23, was last seen walking into a parking garage Aug. 30.
"It's the worst feeling," stepmother Anna Morris said. "Not knowing where your child is, you know, is so awful."
The group Texas Equusearch has also been unable to locate Morris, whose family has taken it upon themselves to search for her across North Texas.
They’ve scoured area lakes, various buildings and, of course, the Shops at Legacy where she went missing.

The latest news from around North Texas.
Nothing has turned up.
“It just never leaves you. No matter what you’re doing, the thought never leaves you,” said Anna Morris.
Investigators have reviewed surveillance video and questioned the friend Morris was with when she was last seen.
The friend told police he left Christina Morris before she arrived at her car and he went home.
Morris’ car was later found parked in the same spot where she left it.
In an interview Thursday, the young man’s parents, Enrique Arochi and Elizabeth Gutierrez, said their son has been bombarded by people demanding answers about Morris.
Everything from death threats to even protesting outside their house with signs and even possibly following the young man.
“I believe the person that walked her into the garage knows something. And I believe it’s just cruel to put us through this and not tell us what they know, good or bad,” said Anna Morris.
But Arochi and Gutierrez said their son has spoken to police and multiple times.
Plano police said they’ve spoken repeatedly to the young man.
Officer David Tilley, with the Plano Police Department, said investigators have spoken to everyone who was with Morris that night and no one has been named a suspect.
They also said no one has been cleared.
The bottom line, Tilley said, is that Christina Morris is still missing and there is very little information about what happened to her.
The reward for information about Morris' disappearance has increased to $25,000.
