Dear Ones -- Today has been avery long day & it is late here in Texas -- but I did want to get a word to so many of you who are praying. After visiting with the Temple PD, the McLennon (Waco) Sheriff's Dept. & the Texas Rangers we know a lot more details than we Knew yesterday -- we just do not know how to put them all together yet & neither do the police. The Waco folks are working on it because Aaron's car was found in their jurisdiction & the Temple folks are working on it because we filed the missing person's report with them because Aaron and his roommate (Jacob) were last seen in Temple. The TX Rangers were called in on it becuase they can cross jurisdictional lines and have many more resources. We do know as of tonight is that the boys are still missing & that the blood in the car (& there was a little in the backseat and a lot in the trunk) is human blood. They do not know the type of it yet. They took blood from Nancy & I as well as Jacob's parents for cross matching and DNA analysis. We also know that the boys are not anywhere within a 4 mile radius of where the car was found. The Detective with the McLennon Sheriff's Dept flew over the area in a helicopter today & then walked a good bit of the area. They also had 4 patrol cars cover all of the roads in the area and searched all out buildings, bridges, & culverts as well as houses. They found nothing! We are going to meet with the officers again tomorrow on the blood type and other things & we are going to stay here through the weekend. If nothing is found then we may go home on Sunday or Monday. We are trying to be patient to avoid multiple trips. Since the boys were last seen on the 29th of December and the car was found & the case was not given to detectives until the 2nd of January. Thus, the trail is a little cold. There are many things that do not add up. Fortunately one of the dectives is a Christian & he hugged Nancy today and held her awhile and then prayed with us. WE know they are doing all they can -- Please we pray that they will have the wisdom to know how to put all of this together. Thank you all for praying!!
