It’s now been 10 ½ weeks since Vernon Cody went missing. Today was an important day because this was the day we were hoping Cody would show up at school to register for his classes. That did not happen. He still has till the 28th of August to get his classes, but today’s window is closed.
As most of you have read, rumors continue to be our worst enemies. As rumors are spread, people react. Often their reactions result in fliers being taken down and people stop looking in a cloud of misinformation. Unfortunately we were not able to get any assistance replacing fliers this last weekend, but we still pushed on.
Summer is coming to a close and we've followed up nearly every lead ever turned up. We've (including the detectives) run through countless theories, and talked to more people than we could have ever imagined. Every day we push the word and shake the trees for leads and answers. But as our efforts lose steam on the ground we are depending more and more on the word reaching a broader base of spectators.
Since the parameter of our quest is changing, so must our tactics. Prayers are always welcome. Cody as a topic of conversation at lunch is a great ice breaker. Posting fliers all over the place gets face recognition. Right now, more than ever before, we need as many people as we can get looking at the hitch hiker as they pass by, taking a second look at the guy in the store, talk to the guy in the fast food line, note license plate numbers and descriptions, watching who crosses the street in front of you, notice the only other person on the trail, glance at the guy filling the car beside you at the gas station, etc. Then call the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department (530) 621-6600 if he looks like a match. It is their job to figure things out; we only need to report our findings.
Cody is our Son, and he is way too important to give up on.
Thank you all for your continued efforts and understanding,
