I enjoyed listening and found hope in the things you and your dad said, I’m going to listen again! As always, thank you for your commitment and for sharing through this blog.
Have you stopped your work on this?
Hi Dan,
Not at all! I am still actively researching the case and have plans to update with more findings. Unfortunately, since I’ve started grad school last September, I have been so busy that I haven’t been able to update the blog as much as I’d like. My academic research involves the case, however, so I am hoping what I am learning in school will enrich future blog posts.
I hope to have a “state of the blog” post up fairly soon with more information. Sorry to be slower than I’ve promised, and thanks for your patience!
