Candles lines the streets of St Johnsville, lighting the way home for Michaela MacVilla who went missing September 25th, walking home from work.

The community was asked to light candles for Michaela. Those candles sit in house windows, front porches and all along streets, hoping to bring Michaela home. Samantha Jump, Michaela's mother lit one for her front porch and they quickly grew.

One turned into two. "As my family is trying to help ease my pain and keep my mind occupied I went to check my candle I lit for Michaela MacVilla last night. Next to it was another candle," writes Jump on Facebook.
