Artdrunetta Hobbs search: Efforts to find woman's remains continue 16 years later

A new tip led Artdrunetta Hobbs' mother to believe her daughter's remains are possibly inside a park in southwest Atlanta.

ATLANTA - An Atlanta mother continues to search for her daughter's remains 16 years after her disappearance.

Artdrunetta Hobbs hasn't been seen since 2006. Her mother, Tonjala Harris, is calling on the public's help.

She organized a private search party on Feb. 12 at Melvin Drive Park.

"She had a heart of gold," Harris said of her daughter.

Harris said her daughter went missing in August 2006.

Harris hopes a new tip will leader investigators in the right direction.

A team searched a wooded area near the park where Hobbs' shoe was found.

Harris believes this new information is valid.

"I'm praying and hoping we find here today," Harris said.

Atlanta police found a blanket in the park that appears to have been buried for years, but Harris doesn't think it's related to her daughter.

Searching on Saturday didn't reveal new leads. The family refuses to give up hope.
