Al Mignacci, a retired IBM engineer, walked into the Currins’ lives in September when he saw on television that another mother in the Triangle was missing. Since then, he has taken over as commander of the search efforts, leading crews that slowly nibble at a radius of more than 15 miles around Morris’ home.In the workshop of Currin’s construction company on the outskirts of Creedmoor, Mignacci leans over a map colored with yellow highlighter marks. Every week, the circle around Morris’ house gets a little brighter. On Sunday, Mignacci filled in another inch around a cattle farm west of Stem. Those yellow lines offer about as much hope as searchers get. Every day, they know a bit more about where Morris is not.At 71, Mignacci is nonchalant about his work for the strangers.”They needed help,” he said. “I had it to give.”Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Kelly Currin Morris is asked to call Granville County Crime Stoppers at 919-693-3100.The family is offering a $36,000 reward for any tip that leads to the discovery of Morris.Searchers are asking anyone with an abandoned well or quarry within a 40-mile radius of Stem 2310, or helpfindkelly@gmail.com,
