Remembering Ronald Scheepstra

Comment

Comment by Cynthia Scheepstra on June 4, 2011 at 11:30pm

I met with my attorney this week and she is preparing to send the packet to the State Dept. requesting a Presumption of Death.I have mixed feeling about this. I feel like I am failing Ron in some way by doing this. I know he would want me take steps to secure my future, but I still feel guilty and sad. Ron's birthday is next week on June 8th. This will be the 3rd birthday passed without Ron.While I don't think I will ever have closure regarding Ron's dissapearance, maybe this will help me to move forward and not feel so much in a state of limbo. When this first happened 2 years ago, I was told it was a rare occurance...today, it is anything but. Just read about the people that have gone missing in the past 2 years. Why won't our government help us?

Cindy - Let's talk about this. We need to get your senators into the game on this ... I've been putting together the pieces of a national campaign, and Texas is going to be an essential part of it. Who is telling you the Mexican PRG report is a "required document" for the decision about a finding? That's B.S. -- would that there was such an explicit "requirement" in the regulatory language. It's a hunk of Swiss cheese that can be read just about any way one cares to. 

 

Have you been in touch with Tiffany Hartley at all? I think the two of you should talk, for moral and practical support.

 

Let me know when is a good time for you to talk?

Thank you Renee...You and John's family are in mine as well.

We are not alone....it just feels that way sometimes. You stay strong for John.

I am so sorry... it's bad enough to have him missing.... but then to have the cavalier attitude that so many of us are now getting is just unbearable.... I don't know what it is going to take to change it either.... We are coming up on six months without John, birthdays and Christmas and soon Mother's day.... I can't imagine two years of what you have been going through... you are in our prayers.....

I am in a pile of red tape per my attorney. The Mexican PGR has not released a copy of their investigation to me despite numerous requests. I can't submit my request for a presumption of death to the State Dept. with out it, since that is one of the required documents. I have been totally forgotten. I only get a response from the USConsulate, or Congressmen or Senators when I contact them. My attorney does not even contact me anymore. 2 years out,Ron is just another statistic

Cindy, I forget - did you ever manage to connect with the state insurance commissioner? Another avenue might be -- does your local TV station have a consumer advocate? We have a lot of them here, Help Me Harry and Shame on You...reporters who go after companies that screw the little guy.

I feel like I a trying to run knee deep in mud. I can't get a response from anyone anymore...except NO from Allstate Life Insurance. More and more people are being murdered and going missing in Mexico and I feel like I am screaming to deaf ears....

Though I never met Ron, I feel a particular bond. Maybe it's the fishing connection... We won't stop looking for answers, Cindy.
