A mother's faith doesn't waver, even after a decade of searching for her missing son. Sandra Hasty and daughter Jennifer share the haunting story of Michael Gorley's disappearance from rural Kentucky—a case marked by strange encounters, spiritual guidance, and the frustrating knowledge that someone knows exactly what happened.

The details paint a disturbing picture: Michael's hat and shoes mysteriously left on a porch, an official story claiming he walked away barefoot in swimming trunks, and the chilling moment when Jennifer shook hands with someone who "looked like they'd seen a ghost" at the mere mention of Michael's name. Through it all, a voice kept telling Jennifer to "turn around" during their search, each time revealing new, unsettling information.

Ten years later, three people connected to the disappearance have died, taking potential secrets to their graves. Yet Detective Thornberry of the Kentucky State Police continues working the case, assuring the family it will never truly go "cold." Meanwhile, Sandra has channeled her grief into action, hosting annual vigils that bring together families of missing and murdered individuals to share support and information.

The family has prepared for Michael's eventual return by purchasing a headstone, arranging a funeral, and paying for a burial vault—practical steps that speak to both their hope and their heartbreaking acceptance of possibilities. Their message to those harboring information remains simple: "All we care about is finding Michael. Bring him home."

With advances in forensic science solving decades-old cases, Sandra remains steadfast: "I've seen cases solved after 13, 15, 20 years... I will never lose hope." Have information about Michael Gourley? Contact Kentucky State Police Post 7 at 859-623-2404. You can remain anonymous.
