The federal resources we have prayed for are finally being deployed to find our son. Your support pushed the authorities to act and I am eternally grateful to everyone who helped bring attention to Reny. We remain focused on the search ahead until he is home safe.

Dear Sir,
We respectfully seek assistance from your office in finding our son Reny Jose, a 21-year-old Rice University student who vanished while in Panama City Beach, Florida since March 3rd. Reny Jose, who is completing the study of BS Mechanical Engineering at Rice University Texas and holds a 4.0 GPA, was reported missing from the Panama City Beach beachfront home he rented with friends. Reny’s friends stated that they last saw him near the house on March 3, 2014.

We have been working with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office to help us find our Reny. The Sheriff’s Deputies later found Reny’s clothes, cellphone and wallet in a trash can. In addition the Sheriff’s Office indicated that a marine unit searched the Gulf of Mexico near the home Reny was staying and have also notified authorities in neighboring counties as well as the U.S. Coast Guard. To-date as we are approaching June in our search for Reny, we are pleading assistance from your office to seek help from federal agencies (FBI, US Coast Guard, DOJ) to search for Reny’s whereabouts as well as address issues related to Civil Right laws. We look forward to your support during our time of difficulty.

Sincerely,
Sherly and Jose George

The silence from the agencies we have reached out to remains the hardest part of this nightmare. We are spending every waking hour exhausting every possible contact to ensure our son is not forgotten.

My family is watching the signatures climb toward one hundred as we wait for any news about our son. Please help us get this number higher so the authorities finally understand how many people want justice for Reny.

I have been following this case since it was first aired here in Panama City beach. I am shocked that it was not investigated more, publicized more, and that the family still has no answers. I pray that they get the assistance and help that they need to find their family.

It is rather surprising that a boasting of excellent Police Forces, FBI etc. cannot search and find a missing Engineering student. I request the authorities to put in all efforts in tracing this young man. Please find him and bring solace to his worried parents.

I am truly disturbed by the fact that a young bright man has just disappeared in thin air and officials are mum. We still have confidence in our law enforcement and that they can do a better in finding a closure to this case and helping this young man's agonizing parents.

Please help. Please open a very intensive and thorough investigation as to the course of events and involvement of anyone in the dissapearance of Reny. We are all desperate for details on the day and days leading up to his dissapearance. This warrants a thorough and suspect of criminal activity type of investigation.

Please help this family find out what happened to their college-aged son. He could have been any of our sons. My heart aches for him. We need to know that our children are safe in our own country. We need to know, and those who are involved in his disappearance need to be held accountable. Mahalo.
