Ok, Prayer Warriors, we need all hands on deck! We located Kris' Belizean cell phone today! Our land lady Ruth had been calling and calling it and getting a busy signal. Then she got a call from a girl who quickly hung up, saying "Wrong number". Then Ruth realized it was Kris' number that the girl had called from! She told Kris and he called the girl. The girl didn't give her name and Kris didn't press too hard, but we found out that she is in Belmopan. She said the bought the phone from a guy for $75BZ and that he was walking by and asked her if she wanted to buy a phone. Kris explained what had happened and that he'd taken lots of other valuable things too and that we're offering a $250 reward for information leading to the arrest of the robber. She seemed really timid and said she couldn't remember anything about the guy. Kris assured her that we'd do everything in our power to ensure her protection if she'd help us. He asked her if she'd meet him tomorrow and he'd buy the phone back from her. She didn't outrightly agree but said she'd text Kris when she knew if she'd be available tomorrow.
Kris immediately went to the police station to give the update. Turns out the officer working our case was there and was planning on going to Belize City tomorrow! Belmopan is on the way to Belize City! It's been a couple hours and we haven't received any texts from the girl. Please be praying that she won't chicken out, that she'd meet Kris and cooperate with the police and might point them in the direction of the guy who robbed us!
I'll update as soon as I know more, please join me in prayer! Blessings to you!
Love you! Praying for a good outcome!
ReplyDeleteIntrigue and investigation in a carribean paradise. Awesome vacation! Very James Bond of you Kris!
ReplyDeleteBrook's comment made me chuckle:) That's one way to look at it! We will continue to pray for the very best outcome. The Lord knows what He's doing and maybe this all will be an amazing opportunity for witnessing!
