(Radio Iowa) – About 200 people attended a concert in Grinnell Tuesday night, to help raise money for the reward fund for Xavior Harrelson of Montezuma, who’s been missing since May 27. Joy VanLandschoot, of Brooklyn, is the organizer of Mollie’s Movement, a group that helps locate missing people. She says over five-thousand dollars was raised. “I didn’t have a specific number I was expecting, but any amount is wonderful to bring awareness for finding Xavior,” she says.

Tuesday night’s tally would raise the reward fund to more than 30-thousand for information on finding Xavior. “We haven’t heard anything,” Vanlandschoot says. “We just hope that this will get tips in…or someone will see Xavior or remember something.” A representative of the missing boy’s family read a statement during the concert, describing Xavior as helpful, kind, funny and always happy and thanking people helping in the search.
