Where's Mary? Five years later

MARSHALL, Mich (WOOD) - Mary Lands' parents have been holding vigils on this date for the past four years.

It was five years ago, March 12, 2004, that Mary disappeared.

On that day Mary's fiance, Christopher Prat, says she went for a walk late at night wearing only her medical scrubs and a favorite brown leather jacket.

Pratt remains a suspect in the disappearance of Mary. Right now, he's serving time for assault on a more recent girlfriend. His earliest possible parole date is February 2012.

For years, there was a feud between local police, private investigators and Mary's family. Recently, all parties buried the hatchet and committing to work together.

"Now everybody is combined together to get this case solved. Instead of bickering all the time its best that we work to get Mary and bring her home," said Clifford Marshall, Mary's father.

Thursday at noon, Mary's family, friends and law enforcement will meet at the fountain in Marshall..
