In the spring of 2017, I was asked by Bruce Maitland if I would be interested in helping him and others with the development of a non-profit. The primary focus would be to assist family members of missing loved ones searching for answers, while working with other executive board members to ensure investigators, hired by the foundation, had the best interest of the victims and family members in mind. Yes, a very easy decision and I now look forward to watching the foundation grow, while building trust with those in need of answers.
