\nJay Sloop, Missing
\nKiev, Ukraine 2013\/05\/13<\/p>\n

While I don’t have much updated information about the search today I’ll simply start with what I know and come back and update as we know more and\/or have confirmation of what happened so far today.<\/p>\n

It’s about 5p in Kiev as I write this. I think we have a few hours of light left.<\/p>\n

The intent was to search the park and see if Jay was somewhere in an inaccessible part of the park, or had fallen etc.<\/p>\n

The reason we felt it was wise to search the park more carefully is that it appears as though multiple security cameras showed Jay walking toward this park, and going in, and not coming back out past the same cameras. This park is also a place where Jay and locals and friends would regularly walk. I know first-hand that Jay, at the weekend, walked through the park with friends.<\/p>\n

The day started off fairly dreary – rain. Jeff was discouraged because it appeared that no one was coming to assist the search. But I’ve seen conflicting reports of who and how many people were out searching today. Until I know something more certain, we’ll just say that what has occurred today isn’t clear from here. We’re just not sure at the moment how many people turned up to assist.<\/p>\n

I’ve also had word that the local Police was also involved in the search.<\/p>\n

If we did get local help and if the police did expend substantial resources on the search that would be a very good thing.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard from numerous sources that the coverage has been substantial: TV, radio, posters etc. I think a lot of hard work is going on in difficult circumstances and we truly appreciate all the effort being put forth from everyone there.<\/p>\n

Jeff, because it was raining, doesn’t have his phone with him. We have not yet heard back from him.<\/p>\n

So, we’re essentially waiting to hear from someone first-hand what has transpired today. The minute we know more that isn’t rumor or third-hand information, we’ll be sure to update and let you know.<\/p>\n

For now all we can do is wait and ask for God’s care, patience and peace.<\/p>\n
