Family, friends hold vigil for missing woman on 1-year anniversary of disappearance

None — BROOKLINE, Pa. -- Family and friends of a missing woman held a vigil Sunday might in Brookline to commemorate the one-year anniversary of her disappearance.

The vigil took place near the cannon monument on Brookline Boulevard to remember Alivia Kail, who last lived in Mt. Washington.

Kail was last seen on March 5, 2011, when she picked up clothes from her brother’s house in West Mifflin. Kail told her brother she was going to Florida with her boyfriend.
