Thanks for updating this story. I don't know how to post links but there's a story at www.abc24.com about Mr. Held. The last sentence says his daughter is working with a search team located in Texas.
If someone would go to that news website and find the article to post here, I'd really appreciate it. Or, tell me how to and I will.
I tried copy and paste, but I think the link would blow the margins here.
Thanks,
Terry

I hope this man's daughter is able to find some comfort in knowing what may have happened to her dad. I think the not-knowing would be agony for anyone. Bless her heart.
