Ramey said he last talked to his mother the day she went missing and has spent every day since trying to find her.
"It was like any other day," Ramey said. "I gave her a hug, gave her a kiss, told her I hope she had a great day... when you see your family suffering, trying to find somebody, it's hard and that's why we're asking for all the help we can get."
