Update on investigation
Well, I talked to the investigators today, and got an update on the testing process. The bottom line is that it will take another four to six weeks to get an answer. There were a few snags in the procedure, just had to do with timing of things in the world. It was nobody's fault,... Continue Reading →
Today’s Search for Michaela’s Remains
This morning a canine search was conducted, looking for Michaela's remains. This was in response to a lead that was called in several months ago.
