Remembrance
My remarkable Donna,
This year marks the 4th anniversary of your ambiguous disappearance — a tragedy that caused us an irreversible damage.
June 23, 2007 was the beginning of a nightmare I never woke up from. I was thrown suddenly into a dizzying world of unbelief parents, then have to learn how to survive such an unthinkable crises, not knowing what to do and where to look next. I have been through sobbing cries, aching heart, denial, hope, anger, and mourning, a myriad of strange feelings and emotions never felt before and praying for answers every day, every waking moment.
Donna, I think steadily about you during the most sorrowful and terrifying journey of my life. A part of my very own being has been chopped off violently by this horrific loss. You will always be inseparable part of me, I never be the same again.
Donna, we have plead to the local, state, and federal authorities in charge to ensure justice for you, to RE-OPEN your case and assign a NEW investigative team to start their efforts in full force to find my fallen daughter and to bring you back to us.
We have asked DA of Los Angeles/Mr. Cooley and his capable team to use their finely honed skills to find you instead of relying on BURGESS’ (a CAREER Criminal’s) fabricated story.
I love you so deeply and genuinely my lovely Donna, will never fall out of love with you, I miss you badly my baby, I need you.
Your Dad,
Reza
A tragedy for Reza and Nila to have the loss of their brilliant and beautiful daughter that is further compounded with the system that has not been able to bring them justice. Where is Donna? What did Burgess do with her body? Why has the system allowed so many privileges of our judicial system while those who love and miss her receive none? The victims are continually re-victimized. Someone out there knows the truth as to what happened to Donna. Burgess did not do this alone. Someone else was victimized by Burgess and possibly even a minor child who may now be an adult. Hopefully anyone who has been a victim of Burgess will now come forward, now that they may be past the age of 18, and tell their story as to what happened to them…maybe their case and cause will enable the system to keep this repeated offender behind bars. Maybe this will bring only a fraction of comfort to Reza Jou and Nila Jou. Maybe, just maybe someone will be brave and come forward. Prayers for strength for the person who is brave enough to do what is right.
