Finding Rachel...

On a suggestion, we recently decided to contact someone that might be able to help us a little bit more in the search for Rachel. She is a psychic medium and remote viewer. This in no way diminishes the tremendous efforts of all that have helped us before, and continue to help, in the search for Rachel. But, for Amber's sake, we need to pursue every avenue that we can to find Rachel as soon as possible. We did give the information to the Sheriff's Department, and hopefully, we find Rachel soon through whatever means necessary.

We appreciate that the Henry County Sheriff's Department is understanding of the fact that Amber, and Rachel's entire family, need answers and will pursue those answers in any way possible. The Henry County Sheriff's Department has been supportive of every idea that we have came up with, and we would just like to say thank you. Every single person involved in this investigation is working toward one common goal: to bring Rachel home. We are still grateful to everyone that has been involved thus far, and our thoughts and prayers are with every single one of you that are involved in the effort to find Rachel. I truly believe that the Lord will lead us to her, we just have to keep the faith that it will happen.

A Blessing Service for Those Who have Someone Missing

Let Us Pray

God our Father,
your Son Jesus Christ as a child
was lost in the chaos of a great city
and was restored to the love of his family;
watch over Rachel, now missing, for whom we pray
and protect her with your love.
Be near to those who are anxious for her;
let your presence change their sorrow into comfort,
their anxiety into trust, their despair into faith,
that they may know your loving purposes.
And this we ask in the name of Jesus our Lord,
who loves and lives and cares for all your children.
Amen.



This Blessing for the missing was found online at Missing.WS http://www.missing.ws/_prayer/prayer.asp a website dedicated to missing people in Ireland. I am responsible for inserting Rachel's name in the blessing.

Searching for Rachel

It has been several weeks since I have updated the blog with any information. For those that read daily, I apologize. However, there hasn't been much to update. I spoke with a woman from Texas EquuSearch on April 15, who was extremely helpful and friendly. Texas EquuSearch is a great organization, who help so many families that are in the same situation as Rachel's family. One look at their web site tells you just how busy these people are. They have put Rachel's picture on their website, as well as a missing poster when you click on the photo. Link to Texas EquuSearch Missing Poster.

Amber spoke with Sheriff Monte Belew on April 30, and he told her that someone new is on the case, and he will be going over all the information that they have so far and reinterviewing people. I would like to ask everyone to please continue to keep Amber and Rachel in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully, a resolution to this situation will come soon.
