MESSAGE FROM THE BAKERSFIELD 3 FAMILES:
We started Bakersfield 3 some thirty eight days ago several months after Micah went missing, James a victim in a homicide investigation, and Baylee going missing. Between the end of March until the end of April three lives became disrupted and so did three different families. But all three families have one thing in common a vast intricate web of a social circle our children were involved in and many ways is very connected. We will connect the dots. We are also very appreciative of the public for their prayers/support during this time and to the local media for their continuing effort to keep these three stories fresh in the minds of everyone. We started with 0 followers and have grown to nearly 1300 in little over a month. We never intended Bakersfield 3 to go beyond Micah, James, and Baylee at the beginning. We were focused on finding answers to what has happened to our beautiful children as any parent would do in this situation and this was the intention of this Facebook page now known as the Bakersfield 3. We have have spent countless hours at times going without sleep trying to find answers and other times still trying to process what has happened to our children. HOPE is what keeps us going. HOPE keeps all three stories alive. HOPE deserves answers. HOPE also means there are other stories out there from families seeking answers for their missing loved ones or those affected by violence. THEY DESERVE ANSWERS TOO. From time to time we have received private messages from families seeking their own answers involving their loved ones, because somewhere in the process of seeking the truth in their cases they have had few leads or no suspects at all. We in want to be the beacon of HOPE in the lighthouse for you. We want to share your story. It is the kindness of strangers or people close to us that have shared our stories that have truly humbled us. We are not alone neither are YOU, we are ONE, we are BAKERSFIELD 3, and we FIGHT ON! - Bakersfield 3
