 The last indication that Relisha Rudd might still be alive came a year ago Sunday, when she was spotted on a surveillance camera at a hotel. 
  
 But the few dozen people who gathered at a church in Southeast Washington on the anniversary of the young girl’s disappearance did not seem to have given up hope that she will one day be found safe. 
  
 Even the program listed Relisha as a “Missing 9 year old” — assuming that she celebrated a birthday somewhere since the day she went missing. 
  
 “We are trusting that she’s still here,” the Rev. Bruce Johnson told those gathered. “We are trusting that we will see this baby again.” 
  
 Relisha was just 8 years old when she disappeared, last seen in the company of a 51-year-old custodian at the homeless shelter where she lived with her family.

 That man, Kahlil Tatum, killed his wife and himself as authorities were probing Relisha’s whereabouts. Authorities have since classified the search for the young girl as a “recovery mission.” 
  
 Tatum was known to have Relisha at his house for sleepovers, and he would sometimes take her to the movies or the mall. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) and police and health officials are scheduled to give an update on the investigation Monday afternoon. 
  
 The service at Mount Paran Baptist Church was a modestly attended but animated affair. Shamika Young, Relisha’s mother, sat facing those sitting in the pews, often swaying back and forth with her head bowed. 
  
 At one point, a group of pastors circled her and put their hands on her as Johnson prayed. 
  
 “If she had a body, and she had a funeral, she could begin to heal,” Johnson said. 
  
 Brenda Brown, who has become close with Young and helped organize the service, said she wanted to gather supporters in person from various social media groups and “do a revival for this girl.” 
  
 She said she wanted particularly to persuade people to stop focusing on mistakes Young might have made that contributed to her daughter’s disappearance.

 “People are focusing on the wrong things. People are focusing on the innocence or guilt of the mother,” Brown said. “Let’s take that energy and focus on finding that child.” 
  
 Young declined to comment after the service. 
  
 But Melissa Young, Relisha’s grandmother, said afterward that the service was “wonderful.” She said she initially had not planned to come out for the day but was buoyed by the support of people such as Brown. 
  
 “I’m doing okay,” she said. “I’m holding up the best I can.” 
  
 Cynthia Butler, 68, and Chanel Wilson, 33, both of Suitland, said they came to the service to pay their respects to Relisha’s family and keep her case in the public eye. 
  
 “It’s important that we keep her name out there,” Wilson said. 
  
 After the service, a smaller group headed to the homeless shelter where Relisha once lived to distribute care packages that included toothpaste, deodorant and other toiletries — hoping to help others who might be leading lives similar to Relisha’s. 
  
 Huddled under a tent in the freezing rain, though, they elected to come back another day when more people at the shelter might be willing to walk outside to get the packages. ||||| A year ago, another concerned community member, Brenda Brown, was also suspicious that Relisha’s mother had something to do with her own daughter’s disappearance and she said she wrote nasty comments about Young on Facebook. 
  
 “I was just as angry and upset and judgmental as everybody else," said Brown, who never knew the family personally. "I bashed the family, everybody, even Shamika [Young], but as time went on, I shifted." 
  
 Brown volunteered to help search for Relisha and met Young in person. 
  
 “I try to put myself in her shoes, and if I were in her shoes, I would be lost," she said. "You have everybody hating you. You have everybody thinking you did something to your daughter. [Shamika Young] had nobody and I was just drawn to that." 
  
 Young hasn't had an easy life. She said she felt abandoned by her own mother, and said she spent her childhood a series of foster homes and shelters. She insists she's a good mother, but in the wake of Relisha's disappearance, her three other children were put into foster homes. 
  
 Brown felt compelled to help Young get her life back on track. She said she helped her find, rent and furnish an apartment after she was forced out of a homeless shelter for families. Brown also helped arrange a search dog to help sniff an area where police already exhausted their efforts, made Relisha Rudd T-shirts and now runs the "We Are Relisha" Facebook page. 
  
 “I asked her, ‘What do you need? What do you want?’ And I offer her advice – advice that a mother should give a daughter,” said Brown. 
  
 “I’m in it for the long haul. I believe there is a higher element that is placing me here for its own purpose.” 
  
 Young said she feels like Brown is a mother figure. 
  
 “I’ve never really had this much support before,” said Young. “It made me feel like a newborn baby to have a fresh mother that can help me start from the beginning of my life and bring it up.” |||||
Output:
It's been a year since 8-year-old Relisha Rudd was last seen on hotel surveillance video and reported missing, and while there has been a lot of peripheral drama surrounding the case, no clear steps have been made toward finding the girl. At the time, Relisha had been living in a room with her mother, Shamika Young, her mother's longtime boyfriend, Antonio Wheeler, and her three brothers at DC General, a homeless shelter in Washington, DC. Relisha apparently disliked the shelter so much that she was allowed to stay with relatives and even a shelter janitor, Kahlil Tatum, who was the last person to see her alive and who weeks later took his own life, reports Al Jazeera. Still, detectives have found no trace of Relisha, and no evidence linking Tatum to her disappearance, though court documents show he may have been posing as a doctor to excuse her repeatedly from school. And while some have blamed the police for not doing enough to find her, or Young for raising her daughter in the environment she did, others say it's time to refocus on finding Relisha. One of Young's ardent supporters, Brenda Brown, organized a church service yesterday to "do a revival for this girl," reports the Washington Post. "People are focusing on the wrong things," she says. "People are focusing on the innocence or guilt of the mother. Let's take that energy and focus on finding that child." (Tatum shot himself in the head in a park a month after Relisha's disappearance.)
