May 17, 2008

After a flight cancellation, we are finally home from Florida. Overall is was a trip that turned out to be as good as possible given the situation. We were able to help spread the news of Jim's murder and ask for the public's help in finding who is responsible for this. As I said before, we got a lot of great stories done by the media and feel that they did a good job at portraying Jim as he was... a wonderful young man who loved life and had many friends and family who love him and miss him terribly.

We had planned on coming home on Friday night, but we ended up staying an extra day in Florida because Channel 6 (NBC 6) asked to do a more in depth story on Jim's murder. We met with the reporter on Friday night and the story will air next Friday (May 23rd) during the 11pm news cast in the Miami area. We were told it will be available online as well.

It was an exhausting, yet necessary, trip and we are glad to have done it for Jim.

We got very good media attention following the press conference and there are many new links on the 'News' tab of the JusticeForJim website. We have had print, tv, and radio coverage. Now it is time to keep moving foward and praying that someone will have the courage to come forward to give us any piece of information no matter how small they think it is.

We arrived in Florida yesterday and held a press conference today at the North Miami Police Department. The press conference went well with a good amount of media there. There are a number of news articles now available online following the press conference. The stations that currently have stories are www.cbs4.com, www.nbc6.net, and www.wsvn.com - the cbs4 site has a video. I have linked the articles directly on the 'News' tab on the Justice for Jim website as well. We also expect there to be a story in the Miami Herald tomorrow.

I have created a new message board that can be found at http://justiceforjim.forumandco.com/ or through the link on the Justice for Jim website. I am hoping that this will be make it easier for people to share their thoughts, stories, or questions. As always, I am open to suggestions so if there is anything that is confusing or you think that I should do to change it up a little, please feel free to let me know.

Sorry for being out of touch for a few days. There is just not much new to report at the moment. The only new information is that we will be heading to Florida at the end of the week to continue to spread the word. Hopefully we will have more to share after our return.
