We just found out yesterday that the person who killed Ryan did not get out of jail two weeks ago. Thanks to Ericka for not stopping, she found out that there is another hold on him. The Assistant DA would not give her any information, only to say that he never got out of jail. So we can hope that he will go back to prison for something else. As long as he is not free to walk since Ryan never will again. Ericka thanks for still digging for information. You will never know how much we love you.

The case against the person who killed Ryan was dropped on Monday. The witness did not show up, so the judge put out a warrant for his arrest. That doesn't make much sense, because the DA said he would not let it go to court. So I am not sure what they will do with the witness since there will be no trial. The defendant walked free on Tuesday. We are just having to work at accepting what we can not change. Maybe there will be justice somewhere down the line. That is our only hope for now.

Well we have been told that the case is going to be dropped because of lack of evidence. Monday the Assistant DA is going to go before the judge and ask for more time, but we won't get our hopes up. They have told us that if they don't get more time on Monday, the defendant will walk free that day. This whole thing has been the most frustrating thing to go through. It will almost be unbearable thing to hear that he is going free. We do not intend to go watch it. The Asst. DA said he would call us on Monday to let us know what happens.

Things are not any better today. The Assistant DA called last night and said the DA and the appellate board are not going to let them take the case to trial and he led us to believe that the defendant had agreed to accept the plea bargain, but the appellate board would not let them offer it to them. This morning another Assistant DA explained that the defendant wanted probation but would not admit to being guilty of murder because he would have to tell the judge how he killed Ryan. So things have changed a little since last night. They tell they are still going to Fort Worth to day to interview another witness, and the third witness is being brought in from east Texas. So we don't really understand that if they have already told us that the appellate board and the DA are not letting this go to court.
