Earlier this year, Detective Charles Olmstead became the new lead detective on the case, and the investigation into her abduction is still ongoing.
Despite the Pinson family having to cope with very few leads in the search for Pearl, though, Rose claimed that she and her family refuse to give up on finding her sister.
“Everywhere we go, we still look out for her. We continue to put her picture and story out there,” Rose detailed.
She puts up flyers whenever she can and still conducts searches for her sister. Finally, to raise more widespread awareness about Pearl’s case, Rose updates the “Pearl Team” Facebook group– which has amassed over one thousand and eight hundred members.
There, other members of the Pinson family, as well as community members, share case details and their memories with Pearl and spread hope that she will be found.
Most recently, on Tuesday, November 30, Rose posted an updated age progression photo of what Pearl might look like today– courtesy of the National Center For Missing & Exploited Children.
“She is so absolutely loved by so many. I pray constantly for her return,” commented Patricia Graham Anderson on the image.

“She is always on my mind– especially every day I used to pass the overpass dedicated to her. I hope one day your family gets closure,” added another commenter, Ashley Pepper.
At the time of Pearl’s abduction, she was five foot three, weighed one hundred and thirty pounds, and had blue/green eyes. Pearl’s hair was naturally blonde but had been dyed green, and she also had a lower right lip piercing.
