Shortly after asking the public’s help seeking Lester in May 2022, Warwick Police executed court-authorized search warrants at 29 Staples Avenue in Warwick, owned by Mark Perkins, where Lester was known to frequent. In June 2022, friends of Lester organized a search for her, launched a GoFundMe page to raise funds for a private search and created a Facebook Page dedicated to continuing to discover her fate.
“The Warwick PD continues to work on this case. It is not a cold case. We support their efforts and appreciate all they have done and continue to do to help us find #justiceforcharlotte. However, progress has been slow. The case is now in the hands of the Attorney General, and while we appreciate their efforts, we urge them to prioritize this case,” according to a statement on the page.
