KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Several families in the greater metro area are searching for missing loved ones.

Renee Pernice, 35, is a mother from northeast Kansas City who hasn't been seen since Friday morning. She has two children and a stepchild. She has been a nursing instructor at St. Luke's College for 18 months. The college dean said everyone is deeply concerned.

Pernice's relatives and friends are hoping anyone who has seen her will call police.

David Cook is another person missing from the metro area. Cook vanished from his Bates County home in November.

"We have lots of questions, and not as many answers as we wish we did," said Judy Transue, Cook's sister.

Friends and relatives have searched hundreds of acres of rural Missouri where Cook raised cattle, but haven't found any information.

"It's hard not to think about it. I think about conversations we've had, people he's talked about, situations he's been in. Yeah, it's hard not to think about it," Transue told KMBC's Martin Augustine.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is in charge of the Cook case. There is an $80,000 reward for information.


Anyone with information in the case can call the Crime Stoppers TIPS hot line at 816-474-TIPS, the Missouri Highway Patrol at 816-622-0800 or the Bates County Sheriff's Office at 660-679-3232.
