This painting, on birch bark, was created by visionary artist Sharon Ingram Bullock, just one month before Valerie went missing. The artist is the cousin of Valerie's mother Jeweline Pelagio. We post this today to honor and mark the heart-breaking one month anniversary of Val's disappearance. She has yet to be found.
Here is an update, written today, by her father:
"Road system and communities including rest stops and many side roads between Homer/Seward to Fairbanks/Glennallen have been covered with Valerie's posters and by passing the word to as many as possible. Commercial rafters will monitor the waterway below Granite Creek until September. Searching will continue in the general area as water table drop. Hope to Seward Highway have been covered as thoroughly as possible, given the terrain.
Our effort to keep the search for Valerie alive seems to be working as more people we contact have heard about her situation. The Alaska State Troopers continue their investigation. More links which may help our effort are being considered.
Again many heartfelt thanks for the prayers and help in the ongoing search for Valerie and please stay hopeful and positive.
-- Victor"
