The search for the missing
Comments on Stories, posted by Editor, Pleasanton Weekly Online, on Mar 14, 2008 at 12:19 pm

No one expects a loved one to go missing for any reason, so if it happens, the events that unfold are a shock. Most in this situation turn to law enforcement, and rightly so, but when the police have exhausted their resources there are groups of volunteers who keep the search going. Pleasanton residents Mike and Bridget Melson are two of these volunteers.

Time has now past, very slowly at times, since the passing of my son Landon. I re-read this article almost monthly, especially when times are tough and I am missing my son. I am amazed how far reaching my son's story has traveled. I have tried to find an update on this story on Mike and Bridget, and the success they have achieved with their work. With their help and the assistance of the San Berdadino County Coronors Office, Landon was found, as many news oulets had reported. I thank God for the Melson's and their efforts and support. They were there when I found the rest of my son's remains, the spot in which he chose to end his life. I know I gave a heart-felt thank you when they had to leave, I still have contact with them from time to time, and I am honored in the way they have persued their interest in helping at risk teens such as my son Landon.
