"If somebody sees that person around somewhere, they could still be able to tell that that's him or not," Walker said.

The two went missing on July 25, 2015. Bynum, who has special needs that diminished her mental capacity, was 21 at the time. Her nephew was just 2 years old. Bynum's family describes her as childlike.

The family prayed in front of the Gary Police Department Monday for a safe return.
