Susie.
Such a handsome young man. And so so very young. All of this is so sad. Thank you for staying with it and keeping us informed.

Yes, a very handsome young man. It's very sad. He was held for over 500 days, too. So, there was always hope he and the others he was held with might be released.
Susie...thank you for your work on this issue
I know that there are many out here who appreciate your dedication to a subject that is entirely absent in our MSM. Very sad news to hear, and I offer my condolences to the Cote family.
Sending you a big hug, Susie...
Hi Ilona
I was kinda surprised. The Cote family held a press conference and yet, the news of Jonathon Cote identification didn't seem to really get picked up by the msm. I thought the id would be really big news, front page stuff. It surprised me because the remains of the other 5 men were just found and identified.
It's very odd. It seems like an invisible stigma might be setting in. That really worries me.
