1/8/06 Sundays of Hope for 1/8--1/14/06
Janice Smolinski is the mother of missing Billy Smolinski. I was touched that she wanted to reach out from beyond her personal pain and help others through our Campaign for the Missing 2006.

Janice wrote this as her introduction to the other campaign volunteers:
"I am from Connecticut, and am the mom of missing son William Smolinski Jr. He has been missing since August 24th 2004 and at the time of his disappearance he was 31 years old. Since day one, we have hit so many walls, been shunned, appeased, and passed on to the next official. We found almost no participation except for one caring officer, who could not do it all himself.
I come from a very close knit family and friends, so God has blessed us with many caring people that helped with the ground search, plus the cadaver dogs were called in by Billys sister, our only remaning child, Paula. There was no police involvement in any of these endeavors to try and find out what happened to Billy. Luminal test, DNA, and dental records were requested for and performed by the caring officer.
My husband, Bill Sr. and I have spoken with the Chief of Police, Mayor, States Attorney, our own Attorney General, FBI, whose remarks were "We are only homeland security-- local police will have to handle it in CT".
We have also contacted Senators director, state police different levels of authority,local news media, and local newspapers. All except for our own local newspaper did not take this situation seriously, and local television stations had minimal coverage.
To this day we continue, always to trying find the right official to help with our missing loved one. Billy was a caring person, NO alcohol, No drugs, and no police arrests. He was a hard working individual maintaining two jobs.
I feel we need desperate changes in this country and when I saw the wonderful things Kelly is trying to achieve, I feel compelled to get involved so others may not have to endure the uncaring treatment given by the authorities and others of influence.
Every person is God's child and there should be NO exception, ALL efforts must be taken immediately and maybe the outcome in these situations could turn out to be happy endings for the families of missing loved ones. Kelly, thank you for building the foundation so we can grasp on, give it our all, link all our states together with a common goal. This is a serious matter lets join hands, things can be accomplished in numbers. It can be done!!"

I pray for many blessings for you. I hope God sends Billy
back to you soon. He sounds like such a good person. I read about him on Websleuth and then on his website.(Coincidentally, I once had a beautiful, beloved dog named "Harley", also--so I felt a special connection}. After I write this comment, I'm going to read about your petition and sign it. God Bless you
