Dearest Friends and Family,

We have been blown away at the responses to our cries for help. We had an overwhelming turn out today from our community (@150+ people). There were representatives from seemingly every organization in El Dorado Hills and the surrounding areas. Many people I have never met before today, who did not know us personally, showed up to help in any way they could. Many thanks to the Boy Scouts for coordinating the distribution of the flyers; Representatives from the Suburban Swim league, and the El Dordo Tazmanian Devils organization as well as the Sierra Sharks, A huge thank you to EDH Fedex/Kinkos for generously donating the printing of as many flyers necessary and thanks to Mike Breedlove and Kristi Avallone for arranging this. To the Nugget for allowing us to converge on their premises with open arms and hearts and for donating supplies to help post flyers. Thanks to my friends from Bible Study who have already arranged a schedule of meals, thanks to everyone for your prayers, support, and encouraging words. To Suzy Mcloed for being my sole supporter and rock. To Shelly and Larry for answering my call and stepping in without being asked and helping us explore every avenue to find Kacie.  Thank you to the radio stations that ran Kacie's info and to the Village Life and the Mountain Democrat for running info on Kacie. Last but certainly not least, to everyone who reached out to anyone they knew in the media. We were able to get live media coverage from Channel 3. (This was HUGE!! Unheard of even. Some serious strings were pulled today!) While News 10 did come out and interview me on camera they are choosing not to broadcast this story at this time stating they are "waiting for futher developments." Channel 13 did not contact me directly but did put Kacie's picture, name and gave a brief description of her on the their 10:00 news. Thank you Jesus for friends who know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone......

We have still not seen or heard from Kacie. Tomorrow will be day 7 and it will be back to school in our area. I am hoping and praying that if she did in fact run away, that she will show up at school. Kacie NEVER misses school. I am hoping and praying that I get a call from her teacher tomorrow morning telling me she is safe, inside the classroom and this nightmare can be over.

In the mean time I have spoken with detective Hadjas and he has assured me that he and the El Dorado County Sheriffs dept are doing every thing they can to find Kacie. Including pulling over every vehicle that matches the description of the one she reportedly was seen getting into on the night she went missing. They have also requested access to the security monitors at Safeway so they can determine if in fact this all took place on their premises and if it did, that the footage may provide more info.

Friends and family, we are weary but are not giving up. Our God is strong when we are weak. We honestly believe that Kacie is being held against her will, possibly even being drugged, and no doubt is being exploited sexually. We thank you for your ongoing support and prayers for our family and for Kacie's safe return. We will continue to keep everyone posted with any information as it becomes available to us. For those of you who have contacted the media in some way wand have asked for contact information for us personally it is as follows:

You have all blessed our lives and touched our hearts.
