Testimonials from Families of the Missing

Dear Squeaky Wheel Tour and Sponsors,

It was a pleasure to meet you all in Dallas. It made the world of 'the missing issue' smaller as it transcended borders and that we came together from all corners of the globe with a common goal - to find our missing family members. That I felt touched by this GINA tour and not quite so alone given my son went missing in the UK. Meeting people from the States who have the same issue of a missing loved one brought us all together with a common bond that we all identified with and understood.

Dear GINA and the Squeaky Wheel Tour,

We are so appreciative of your efforts on behalf of our son, Jason Jolkowski, and families of the missing that Project Jason serve. Jason has been missing from Omaha, Nebraska since June 13, 2001 and the Squeaky Wheel Tour has featured him every year. It is difficult to gain attention for long term cases like Jason's and the tour is wonderful way to use the beauty of music to create awareness. When people who don't know us or Jason, or who don't have a missing person in their life reach out to help us, it means so much to us. As long as a single strong note still plays, may the Squeaky Wheel Tour continue to be the music of hope to our ears.

Dear Squeaky Wheel Tour and Sponsors,

Thanks so much for highlighting my daughter, Roxanne. She has been missing since July 7, 2006.It is so difficult for us to get attention for her because there is not a lot of new information on her case. We want to keep her story in the media and in the community because we feel strongly that someone out there potentially knows something. We need all the help we can get and so does all the missing persons and their family. Thanks for giving my family hope. God Bless.

xoxo
Sincerely,

Dear Squeaky Wheel Tour,

It has been five long years since our Jesse disappeared. Law enforcement has really stopped looking. But they are not our only hope. The Squeaky Wheel Tour has put Jesse’s face and story out to the nation for many of those years. Utilizing music, video and speech, the SWT keeps our missing in the forefront and refuses to let them be forgotten. We were fortunate to be in Lincoln, Nebraska to hear the wonderful music and to speak about Jesse just last year. Jesse’s picture traveled the country, prominently displayed on the side of the SWT tour bus. Jesse has been missing from November 21, 2006 until present, but we take hope each day knowing SWT keeps his face and his story in the public eye.

Sincerely,

Don, Donna, and Andy Ross

Dear GINA, Volunteers and Sponsors of the Squeaky Wheel Tour,

Thank you for all of your support for Molly Dattilo. She disappeared from Indianapolis, Indiana on July 6, 2004. It has been a very difficult road for the family to travel, but you have faithfully helped us continue our search for her. Your support has never wavered, and your strength has granted us hope. With every year that passes, Molly's light dims gradually. Yet, we can count on you to shine the bright spotlight on her beautiful face again to remind everyone she is not forgotten and our search will continue until she is found. Thank you for carrying the torch for our Molly and for all the missing.

Our deepest gratitude,

The Family of Molly Dattilo - missing from Indianapolis, IN

When a person that you love is missing but don't meet the public's criteria as newsworthy of National media attention, it is a true blessing to know that there are people who care to help. That's what I have experienced with the artists on the Squeaky Wheel Tour. My daughter and granddaughter, Jennifer and Adrianna Wix have been missing from Tennessee for eight years and for five of those years have been featured on the Squeaky Wheel Tour, bringing them exposure that they may not have otherwise received. Words can not express the gratitude in my heart for Jannel Rap and all the artists who give of their time and their hearts to help all the families that have someone missing. Thank you all for what you are doing!

I have been involved with the Squeaky Wheel Tour for over six years. My Stepdaughter, Karen Jo Smith vanished from her home on December 27, 2000. There were very little resources to be had in bringing media to a 35-year-old mother of two, so I researched online and found Jannel Rap and GINA for Missing Persons. GINA became a lifeline for myself and Karen Jo's family. From there began not only a support system, but a deep commitment to bring this type of attention to others through Gina For Missing concerts, now known as The Squeaky Wheel Tour. We held Indiana's first GINA Concert in the fall of 2002. Jumping forward to 2006, the Squeaky Wheel enabled two young ladies to be located alive! I am truly blessed to be able to have Jannel and all of the volunteers of GINA in my life and hope that this year's Squeaky Wheel Tour aids in locating more of our missing throughout the world.

Sincerely and Always IN Hope,

August 10, 1989 – RCMP Serious Crime Unit File 1989/21784 - 20-year-old Charles Karoly John Horvath-Allan and citizen of Yorkshire, England, disappeared in 1989 whilst visiting Kelowna British Columbia, Canada. That was 23 long years ago. The few missing organizations that existed in 1989 were unable to assist as my lost son Charles was considered an adult and as such could not be placed on missing children's registers. After so many years on my lonely, lonely road the Squeaky Wheel Tour kindly included my lost son Charles on their Webcast and their 411.GINA.org missing web site. The miles SWT – their volunteers and Jannel - travel; the unforgiving hours SWT work tirelessly to promote awareness of the missing and has got support from so many other amazing musicians who also kindly give their time support.

My son, Randy Charles Spring, disappeared October 10,1988 and to this date has not been found. He was to go hiking in the San Jacinto Mountains in Whitewater, California. I have truly been blessed by Jannel and her Squeaky Wheel Tours and all the work she does to benefit missing persons. She has been looking for her sister for years and could have easily given up but she did not, instead she got her group together to bring attention to hundreds of missing persons that were forgotten. She featured my son on her tour and what a blessing that was because she cared. Someday I will be attend one of her shows and how I am looking forward to that day and just to be able to give Jannel a great big hug and let her know she is loved.
