The Acree family has accused Chicago police of not aggressively investigating her disappearance.
The Rev. Ira Acree, a relative of Yasmin's, said the police department later acknowledged that there was forced entry into her home after initially saying there was no evidence to support the idea that an intruder entered her West Side home.
Supporters want the same access to the current top cop as they did with past Supt. Jody Weis.
Yasmin Acree, 15, was an honor student at Austin Poly Technical Academy when she disappeared in the Austin neighborhood in January, 2008.
