Dear Bonita<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It is my view that in this little twin island of ours, there are not many persons who would go out on the limb for a fallen brother or sister, like what you have done in this Chantel Crump saga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passion you demonstrated, the empathy, the vigilance and the love for the abducted 9 year old child was definitely beyond expectations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Clearly, you demonstrated that you are a person who stands by your convictions and hence would not be derailed or be distracted from what you set out to do.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You must be highly commended for the sterling initiative you put into effect  last week and going into the weekend, to try and find and save the life of little Chantel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understood that you have no children of your own but like a concern mother, you went all out and simultaneously moblized a team to search for Chantel, as if Chantel was your personal offspring.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It was certainly an heroic effort and it demonstrated that you are definitely a force to reckon with. I must say,  if it is true, that it was very unfortunate that the police dropped the ball when you & your team initially needed their assistance. It was presumed that if you got the help ontime, perhaps Chantel would be alive today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very evident that you & your team went beyond the call of duty and it was decided that it would be done at any cost, whether losing sleep, paying for transportation, or staying hungry while on the trail. Finding Chantel was just your primary mission.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For me, you have brought closure to part 1 of this saga. You have set many hearts at ease and enlightened and brought awareness & confirmation that evilness really exist among us, the populace, and that we are really living among persons with desperate hearts who can be deemed to be wolves in sheep’s clothing.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Part 2 of this saga now needs to be unfolded. We need to know from the authorities who else is involve, what motivated the perpetrator and if the perpetrator was involved in any of those persons who have gone missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, I have always heard about human tafficking,  organ harvesting and human sacrificing but never thought in my wildest dreams that such practices would come close to gracing their presence on our shores. Our beloved country has really been transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course Bonita, high kudos must be given to you & your team. As citizens & residents of this paradise, we need to take a page out of your book and learn more to be our brother’s keeper, especially during trying times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep up the great works Bonita. I don’t know you, but once again i certainly tip my hat to you and your team for a job well done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex<\/p>\n
