It seems forever since Jill left our home for a short bicycle ride before her scheduled work time at noon that day. Jill was evidently abducted by some person or persons who either live in the Bloomington vicinity or are very familiar with the Bloomington area. The Bloomington Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and all other law enforcement agencies continue to work strategically on the search for Jill. Daily press briefings have been suspended, but I continue to meet with them each day in order to follow their progress. More than 1,300 leads on Jill's case have been recorded thus far.
Law enforcement continues to investigate all details.
When we find Jill, this evidence will help her case a great deal. There is a big hole in our hearts and in our lives right now. This is a grief like no other, and our feelings are difficult to explain. There are still so many unknowns. Eternity is a very long time to carry something like this on your conscience.
