As this case makes its way through the criminal justice system I would like everyone to remember that this is actually about a girl named Jill who went for a bike ride and never came home.

It's been nearly six years now since Jill disappeared. I'm very encouraged by the fact things are happening today.

Nearly six years ago on a Wednesday morning, I said 'goodbye' to my daughter. Little did I know that would be the last time I would see her.

What have we been going through? It's kind of the same thing that we've been going through all along: that she disappeared, that she was murdered.

We just look at this as a big step in the right direction.
