I was just emailed and asked to review the blog by one of the jumpers. I do not know who nineyears is. At this point, I am the family spokesperson. I do not think the drama on here is appropriate and if you have further questions, please contact me directly or contact Tom. Some people have been contacted by another party, that there was an email. While there was an email early on, it was established by Tom and authortiies, that the email was inaccurate and probably a hoax. It was also established that "Mike" is probably not a jumper. The GF family and CBS2 news were told by myself and Tom not to disclose any of that information because it was probably not a true email. I can not control what others say, and I am truly sorry that I felt I could send a copy to someone who promised to keep it quiet and chose not to. That was my fault and I have been trying to clear that up, besides deal with my own emotions through this whole thing. Please conctact me privately if you wish to keep in touch, I hope that all can respect Toms board and choose not to continue this drama. At this point any further investigation on that email will not involve us (my family ) or anyone in the jumping community.

Scott had broken up with his girlfriend earlier that week. She was trying to get back together from what I understand talking to Scott. He is not interested and was tired by her pressure. Hence the 'vacation'. Much 'mis information is out there, and I sincerely hope we all move forward and that Mike whoever is can resolve the problems he has. Again, I can not express how thankful we are to the jumping community and the skydiving community. We have grown to really love you more than before though this experience and your love towards us. Thank you

Scott was not aware what was going on from what we can tell. He is pissed as well. Please see my earlie post. Please know that since we would not talk to the news, a lot of mis information was spread. Some stories were very inaccurate. It is a hoax, but I dont think Scott is involved. Please see my other post about what happened. This is all we know, and we hope Mike gets the help, whoever mike is.

Scott has been located and is alive and well- he had left teh area for a vacation, and a "friend" of his took it upon himself to tell us that he had died in a base jumping accident. Scott called us to let us know he arrived where he was going, while we were with the detectives. His The infomation that was shared with us turns out to have been a very cruel prank. Whoever did this needs serious mental health. Scotts father and I , are overwhelmed by the love and support of the aviation BASE and skydiving communities. All of you have been helpful and supportive. Thank you for your offer of help and thank you to those who took time to help us. We're grateful that this information is not true; we're furious at whoever thought this would be funny.
