'Music for the Missing' raised money for missing persons

By: News 8 Austin Staff

Three bands played in a very special concert in Austin Sunday afternoon.

"Music for the Missing" was held at the Dallas Night Club in Austin to raise both awareness of missing persons and money for search organizations.

When Rachel Cooke, 19, was reported missing more than one year ago, her parents started the Rachel Alert Network to help prevent abductions through awareness education.

"It's also a way for us as the parents of missing people or family of missing people to come together and support each other," Rachel's mother Janet Cooke said.

Proceeds from the concert will go to Texas EquuSearch and Travis County Search and Rescue.
