Thanks for the kind words and support, everyone. In an odd way, it really does help knowing that complete strangers form all over the country are aware of this story and are trying to help.
As far as the whole "insider status" thing, can someone explain what that entails? I'm not coming here to look for sympathy or attention or anything, I just really appreciated the info that was being turned up in this thread and wanted to offer my thoughts and unique perspective as well. If it's something that will help facilitate the sharing of information here, then I'd be all for it. But the last thing I want to do is somehow be taking advantage of the fact that this case just happens to involve somebody I know. I am not a member of his immediate family, but I know that all of them (with the exception of Claudia, Bo's sister, being on the news quite a bit) have been relatively quiet and haven't really shared much of what they're going through with the public. I'll have a chance to see them again this Saturday at Bo's Celebration of Life (he would have hated the word "funeral"), so maybe I'll get a better sense then of what they know and how open they'll be with those facts.
I apologize about my relative unfamiliarity with this site and all of its nuances. It really is a tremendous resource.
