Thelma's husband Robert Krull thanked everyone for coming out Saturday andsaid he isn't going to stop searching for his wife until she's found.

"We're suffering here and we just want answers," Robert said."The family needs to grieve....I haven't given up hope. Wehaven't given up hope."

Police still have no leads in the case, which has taken a toll on the family, Robert said.

"They really have no more clues that I know of. It's hard. They unfortunately don't tell you everything, sothat's where it stands," Robert said.

"Until you've gone through this, you have no idea. And I just hope nobody else has to go through this. I really appreciate the community support."

Krull is described as 5-foot-4 and 170 pounds. She has short, dyed-blond hair with purple streaks.

Anyone with information about Krull's whereabouts is asked to call investigators at 204-986-6250.
