My Dearest Daughter, Jessie,
I am writing this letter to you this morning to let you know that I am still missing you and waiting for answers as to what happened to you, July 6, 2004. It has been twelve agonizing years since I last saw, held, kissed you and heard your voice.
My sweet darling, I want to know where you took your last breath. I want to know who did this to you and why? I know the answers will not bring you back, but it will bring some resolve on your case, and more importantly, bring some peace in my heart. I know that you are in the Glory of God with your dad, and, oh, how I miss him, too.
Yesterday morning, the Manatee County Sheriff's spoke-person invited me to do a video-taped interview to be a part of their regularly scheduled TV show. This taped interview will be posted on YOUTUBE on the Sheriff's facebook account. This is the beginning of your story being made available to the media and the public as your 12th year anniversary draws near, July 6, 2016. I hope that through the media coverage of your story someone or some people will come forward and tell what actually happened to you.
I continue to pray everyday that the Lord will keep me strong and give me clarity of mind during this time. I love you, my darling Jessie, and I take comfort to know that someday I will see you and your dad again.
Love Forever,
Mom
