God bless your entire family I am praying that everyone will come home safe!
I went to school with Joey and Mikey in Santo in the mid 80’s. I came across the story when I accidently clicked on a video clip on CNN last week. I am in such shock. Just know that may prayers are going out for all of you.
Do you think that the Border Patrol could pull up images from February 4th through the 15th? Maybe you could see them in the images if they did cross the border. Wish I could help you. My heart goes out to you and your family. God bless and may they all be alive and well…
My thoughts and prayers are with the McStay family hoping for a safe return of thier loved ones-
