KOIN News Segment



The CBS affiliate KOIN actually had 3 segments that they aired, here are the websites:

11:oo News - interview with S'te that was done in California
Radio link for interview with Jeff Gianola - the reporter
and
the link for the interview done here in Florida with me.

Hopefully we will be blessed with someone who needs to get the info off of thier chest and will call in that "missing piece" so the Detectives can put it all together.

Jeremy's Story

The first news for today is that KOIN news (CBS) has done a segment on Jeremy's disappearance... Jeremy is almost 36 years old (May 25). . . . he has been gone for almost 22 years(Aug 14) and I am hoping this segment helps God open someone's heart and mouth. The Coos County Detectives have worked this case hard for many years. I can't begin to thank them enough for the dedication and hard work and the loyalty they have shown in their resolution to solve this for Jeremy. As S'te said in our conversation last night; We know how horrible it is to live with the "unknown" and to live with the knowledge kept inside must be pure torture. It will be shown only in Oregon but will be on the WWW on Friday. I will post the link to it as soon as I can offer it. Jeff Gianola - the reporter who sidroded the project- said he is very pleased with the way it turned out. . . . 3 of the Detectives will be at the newsroom both after the 11pm newscast and the Friday morning newscast. . . manning a hotline. . . so they will have firsthand knowledge of any tips that come in. They are working htis very hard. . . and pray that it is the Lord's will that finalizing this is in His plans.

S'te attended the preliminary hearing for Angie's case, the murdering adoptive mother has been bound over for trial. Here is the news article.

We've had some quite busy days just lately. We have been getting ready to get ready to leave for our annual trek across country. We have taken a load of "stuff" to donate, washed houses, cleaned carpet, re-arranged (cleaned out) the shed (again) so we have room to put the outdoor items - and have done most of the last Doctor appointments for the summer and are awaiting the decision on placement of our houseguest. Keith decided that we aren't taking the RV this summer - we will just be driving the van - and this year we will take a different route - after seeing Mom B and April -

We hope to visit Mom B for Mother's Day and then head for April's. From there Keith hasn't "plotted our course". Most of it depends on whether I can see brother Gerald. If allowed to do so - we will probably travel a northern route - of course, that is weather permitting!!! I'd love to see Yellowstone National Park - as far as the WWW news - it's still snowed in - so maybe that won't happen this year.

Our days are in God's hands so we will see what He has in store for us.

What a guy!!

He really, really enjoy's this. . . .

When the kids were here from Spring Valley, Cavelle's blanket got left behind. . . . . It's a soft fuzzy furry blanket. . . . I've been mailing the momentos that got left behind - on a weekly basis. . . . but this just "hasn't fit" into any of the stuff I've mailed. I give up. . . . cause. . . . Baby really, really likes this blanket. . . . It starts out straight and smooth. . . then, he will snuggle up into it. . . . pull it all close to his head and rub his hands on it. . then rub his cheek on it until he gets everything wadded up like he wants it. . . . . rub his nose a few times. . . stroke it a little more . . . . .


And then he goes to sleep. . . .
and sleeps . . . . .
Like a baby!!! hehe
So, Cavelle, it looks like it might be summer before you get your blanket back. Love, Amah

Found

The child that I posted about a while back. . . . She has been found. She is ok. . . and I am sure that family is very relieved. The Lord saw to it that she was kept safe during her absence from the family home. I don't know the details so. . . . just thankfully, she is alive. Thank you Lord.

Just an update

Nothing much has been going on around here - normal round of visits, frustration with lack of coordination with the "system", the love/hate feelings that I keep harbored for the lack of "for the children" that our current systems seem to have.

Other than that - the interviews for the segment on Jeremy have been done. They did S'te's at her home and mine here at our home. I have no clue what she said - and she has no clue of what I said. I really didn't get much said - it was a really bad day for me. I sort of lost it right at the beginning and never found it again. I didn't do a very good job. Jeremy and Gerald have both been on my mind and heavy on my heart lately. I just dropped the box that I had all my "stuff" in and it split wide open - I've been that way for several weeks now. . . but anyway, it's done. Last word was that it would be airing on April 28 out of the Portland KOIN station. I don't know what time or after or during what program. Hopefully, more will follow.

Trying to get into cleaning up and getting ready to head out. This year Keith wants to drive out - take the scenic route - by way of Mom B's and April's. It will be nice to see how Mom B is doing since her surgery. She was blessed with the presence of several family members to make sure her recovery was rapid! And soon she will have a new floor in her other bathroom. It's wonderful to know that she has so many caring people so close when Keith lives so far away. It will be great to see her. And April too. Keith went at Christmas and visited for a week but I haven't seen her or the kids since the Cruise ended last year. I was sorry that they weren't able to come down when S'te and family were here. It would have been a wonderful houseful!!

So, that's the update from the last update. Just being. . . . .
