Ricky Holland Vanished

This is about the saddest entry I have written about Ricky. I can’t believe he is still missing and that there do not seem to be any leads in his case.

Earlier this month there was an interview given to a local television station by Ricky’s biological mother. Apparently she was asked to take a lie detector test and she passed. She expressed her sorrow about her son’s missing status. She also expressed the love she still has for him even though she no longer has parental rights. I wish we heard more in the media from Ricky’s adoptive parents.

People talk about adopted children as being lucky because they are “chosen” by their parents and supposedly the love for the adopted child is “special”. I have not seen any evidence of this with Tim and Lisa Holland.

Ricky, if you are still alive then wherever you may be I hope you are safe, happy and warm. I hope you are not scared.

Merry Christmas, little guy.

I posed the following questions on my Ricky Holland Forum:

Someone claiming to be the Victim’s Advocate for, I guess the family, posted a response.

“There are a few reasons you’ve not seen Tim and Lisa on any national coverage, but much of that is personal and I am not willing to share it without their consent. I can tell you that Tim’s job is very high security. The work that he does is confidential and, because of this, he can only appear with local media.

Please know that just because you don’t see them, it doesn’t mean that they’ve not been active in his search. They have been very involved from the start, and have done more for the search than I could write in this post.

Regarding their reasons for obtaining an attorney, again, I can’t speak for them. However, I would have done the same thing. The way the media has a tendency to distort facts to appeal to a viewing audience that seems to only want “drama drama drama” these days, obtaining a lawyer is a good way to ensure that very little inconsistency occurs and it minimizes finger pointing. The Ramsey case is an excellent example of that…”

Actions speak louder than words.

Excuses:
1) I would be out searching but the police have told me to stay home so that they can bring Ricky to me.

2) I would be out searching for you but the police told me I need to stay home in case you call or come home.

3) I would go on National Television to make a plea for your safe return but my job is very high security. My employer told me I can’t appear in the national media, only the local media. But they printed thousands of fliers for me and your mom to distribute all over the state and we have done that.

4) During an interview at our attorney’s office I know it looked bad when I really didn’t say much and just stared out of the window and your mom kept answering her cell phone.
