Hi Lee,  Shawn is absolutely welcome to come to the zoom meeting. This is a very informal meeting with "your" team thus far. It will include two analysts, one arson investigator, an intern familiar with your case and me.  I think this is easier than me acting as a go between each email. Do not be concerned...super casual. If you want to send anything else, please feel free to do so. I will be sending you the link today. Have a wonderful weekend, Cathie Cathie Vallas-McKinzie Cold Case Foundation, Victim Advocate / Executive Assistant

Hi...you are welcome. You have not failed Mike. The love and diligence you have shown and expended is amazing. You are a strong woman in the face of unimaginable grief. I am hopeful we can pull the pieces together for you and come up with a resolution. As the saying goes, not even God can change what has happened. You have amassed more information than we usually see and have afforded us the gift of being able to help. You can relax a little...we have your back. Thanks, Cathie Cathie Vallas-McKinzie Cold Case Foundation, Victim Advocate / Executive Assistant
