BLB Missing Woman: New Developments

New developments in the case of Tammy Stokes, a Bayou La Batre woman missing since June. Police are questioning a person of interest, while the woman's family hopes it will help investigators find their daughter.
Two months have passed since Cherry Stokes last saw her daughter Tammy. She says each day her daughter's disappearance has become more painful to deal with. "I have heard so many horror stories about where she's at what they've done to her, where to find her, you know,"Said Stokes.
Police say they've been following every lead since stokes went missing, including one which led them to Christopher Howard. Bayou La Batre police say he turned himself in today, right after he saw News Five report that he was wanted for questioning.
"We just know that they were known acquaintances and have reason to believe that he was the person that had last contact with her before she disappeared,"Said Cpl. Jason Edwards with the Bayou La Batre Police Department.
Since Stokes' disappearance police say they've organized four searches for the 24-year-old. One just last month in the woods near St. Elmo. So far, authorities say they haven't had much luck. "All missing person cases are difficult but it's really difficult when you have such little information to go on and the information you do have to go on is there's very few details,"Said Edwards.
Bayou La Batre Police say they've had over 100 leads in this case. Police say while Christopher Howard isn't being charged, they hope he could provide them with information about Stokes' whereabouts.
