ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Friday marks
ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Friday marks 15 years since the disappearance of Asheville teen Zebb Quinn.
His case brought nationwide attention, but still more than a decade later there are no new clues about what happened to him.
Zebb s disappearance left a hole in his mother s life. For 15 years, Denise Vlahakis hasn t known whether Zebb is dead or alive. If he s dead, she hasn t had a chance to bury him. Vlahakis says living with the fact her son is missing is a feeling that doesn't get easier with time.
"Somebody is watching their children grow and we are living the nightmare of not knowing where he is, or what happened, or anything," Vlahakis said.
Zebb left the Walmart where he worked on Hendersonville Road on the night of Jan. 2, 2000. He was last seen at a Citgo convenience store on Long Shoals Rd around 9:30 p.m. His light blue Mazda showed up two weeks later at Little Pigs Barbeque. The car had lips painted on the rear window in lipstick.
Vlahakis has little hope that Zebb is still alive.
We were close, and of course I thought he was a special kid, but to hear it from others is really important. It means a lot, Vlahakis said.
She upped a reward to $25,000 for information that leads to finding him alive, or information that leads to a conviction. She spoke with News 13 hoping somebody would come forward.
