Thelma Krull's daughter Lisa Marquis Besser launches a floating Chinese Lantern at Red River Speedway last night in a vigil to keep search efforts for her missing mom alive. See story. Jauly 27, 2015 - (Phil Hossack / Winnipeg Free Press) Thelma Krulls family is pressing ahead with efforts to keep the search for the missing 57-year-old grandmother in the news. "Were reviewing everything at the moment," Krull's daughter Lisa Marquis Besser said Monday. Thelma Krull CP Thelma Krull Besser said shes meeting with police later today, and at the familys request and weather permitting, there will be an event at the Red River Speedway tonight to publicize the ongoing search. "I asked for the meeting with police," Besser said, "To touch base, to see what different things (to do) and what we can rule out." Around 9:30 p.m., following the races are over at the speedway this evening, the family plans to hand out flameless candles in the stands and release Chinese lanterns in an effort to keep attention on Krulls disappearance. That event, which the family is calling Keep the Light On, was originally scheduled for last Thursday but the races were rained out. As of today, Krull has been missing for 16 straight days. Despite exhaustive searches, nothing has been reported publicly to advance the case and the family is desperate to find the missing woman. "Two weeks into it, were not sure what were supposed to be doing," Besser said. Krull was last seen at 7:23 a.m. on July 11, leaving her home in Harbourview South to go for a walk in the Valley Gardens area. She had been taking long walks recently in preparation to go hiking in B.C. later this summer, but she missed her grandson's birthday and her family has said it's extremely out of character for her not to be in contact with them. Krull's glasses were found in the Valley Gardens area July 15. Police said investigators recovered other items, but wouldn't confirm whether they belonged to Krull. By
