You’ve probably noticed Lacy James’ articles on missing persons in Michigan on the WBCK Website.   On Monday, the Michigan State Police and a missing person’s advocate group noticed too and honored Lacy for her coverage.

"Today, on behalf of Missing in Michigan and the Michigan State Police Missing Persons Unit, Nina Innsted and I were honored and blessed to present Lacy James with this "VOICE FOR THE MISSING" award for her work within the media assisting in bringing missing persons home,” said Kellie Boer of Missing in Michigan.  “Thank you Lacy for all that you do for the missing (especially for my missing), I love ya honey! 💗"
