Hi, all,
I spent most of the morning, yesterday, talking to Bob's daughter R. She said P is sorry for sending me that message. She was upset because she felt I was airing the dirty laundry. I explained that I was not. I was pointing out things I felt were relevant. She misses he father. She is very sensitive right now with everything going on since he disappeared. Don't be too hard on her. If I can forgive her, you should, too.
The good news is I only have two things to correct:
1. I never, ever meant to imply that Bob was supporting his children, still. I was trying to illustrate that Bob would help them out from time to time when they were in need. I do not remember or can find where I said he had been supporting them. If I did, I apologize for not being clear.
2. The city they all grew up in was Monrovia, not Pasadena. I knew that. But, most people outside of CA have never heard of Monrovia much less know where it is. I used Pasadena because it is the more well known city right next to Monrovia. Just like most people do not know where Placentia is. It is right above Anaheim. Most people know about Anaheim because of Disneyland and the baseball team.
Other than that, she was ok with what I said. As you all know I have defended the family to a certain extent. I have told you what I know and what I think of them. After talking to her, I still believe they had NOTHING to do with Bob's disappearance. Since I had not talked to them in a year, I had questions. She answered all of them. Also, from what she says, they do not believe Fontelle had anything to do with Bob's disappearance. The issues that have gone on after are unrelated to his actual disappearance. She confirmed everything I have said about J, the SIL. He is a good, kind hearted man who has had to put up with a lot from the media and speculators.
After saying that if I am proven wrong and a complete fool for believing this, then so be it. But, until someone can prove something to contradict what I believe, I will stand behind them. I may not agree with what they have posted about Bob in the other site, the IS. But, that does not mean it is true or false. I do not know. I met Bob in 2002. Before that, I have no idea. I only know the good man I knew from 2002 until he disappeared in 2009.
To anyone who is associated with this case that is reading this site:
I am not on anybody's "side". I have talked to Fontelle because she will talk to me. I like her and think she is a good person. I have talked to R because she contacted me. I also like her and think she is a good person. If I have to choose a side, I am on Bob's side. I want to know what happened to my friend. I feel those responsible will pay. If not in this life, in the next.
