I'm thinking of Avonte on this bitter cold Thanksgiving :-(

Me too MrsG... Avonte's been gone for so long now, but I never give up hope. Never.
I keep praying and hoping for a miracle here.

I'll weigh in on my upset with NYC and the DOE later. It's Thanksgiving Day today, so let's all do our best to see what we DO have to be thankful for, like our ability to see and read this, hold onto hope and pray for Avonte, his family and the many other missing/murdered and their families. Let us all stop to be thankful for what we have.
While i'm here, I am thankful for Websleuths! ~ Bless you all ~

I'm watching the Macy's parade, hoping to see an Avonte flyer.

I'm still praying they find Avonte. Does anyone know what's going on now? Any new leads?

The last thing I heard was that the temperature outside was too cold and the command center was temporarily shut down. I don't know if they returned yet or not. There was another child that ran out from his school in the Bronx. He was located in Times Sq. http://pix11.com/2013/12/02/12-year-old-autistic-bronx-boy-found-safe-after-running-out-of-school/

It's very disheartening to know that children can and are, being found, but not Avonte.

This is so sad. I don't think that Avonte will ever be found. He must have fallen into the river and was swept out to sea. I think about him every day. Prayers for his family during this glorious season.

 

[Ms Suzanne]

If I may please bump Avonte up. Any new leads? What's going on to find him now?

Apparently Avonte's brother, Danny Aquendo Jr, posted the news about the FBI takeover of the Avonte Oquendo case on his Instagram. I think his handle is King Detrick on Instagram also (it is @KingDetrick on Twitter).
If anyone has the Instagram link PLEASE post it on this thread, thank you!

Vanessa Fontaine wants just one thing this Christmas – to see her son, Avonte Oquendo, smiling and excitedly opening his gifts. Fontaine has hope that her missing son will soon be home.

“After all, this is the season of miracles,” Fontaine said. But beneath Fontaine’s stoic appearance there is so much sadness – a sadness shared only by mothers of missing children." http://www.qgazette.com/news/2013-12-11/Features/Mom_Pleads_For_Avonte.html

[Ms Suzanne]

Did the FBI really take his case to find Avonte. Are they finding out anything?
