Rowan Co. church holds special service for Erica Parsons

ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. — A Rowan County church held a special service for missing teenager Erica Parsons on Saturday night.

The Living Water Church of God in Kannapolis held a "Praise and Worship" ceremony dedicated to Erica.

The pastor said the evening was not about placing blame, but rather praying for Erica's adoptive and biological family, and of course, for Erica herself.

No one has seen or heard from Erica since November 2011.

Her brother reported her missing in July.

She lived with her adoptive parents Sandy and Casey Parsons in Salisbury.
