Big news, and cautious optimism

 So those who have been following our tale know that the two owners of Key Largo Scuba Shack - Christopher Jones and Alison Gracey, have been on the run for almost 10 years now. TWICE they've been arrested, twice they've been set free on bond, and twice they're gone on the run again.

Last fall I was approached by the producers of the show America's Most Wanted. The show had been off the air some some time, but they wanted to revive it, and they wanted to feature Aimee's case. I, along with Aimee's family agreed, and several of us participated in interviews leading up to the episode. 

That episode, which can be seen here, aired on Monday, March 29.

And a whole 3 days later, Jones and Gracey were arrested in Madrid, Spain! 

Now, I'd like to be excited that after almost 10 years, these two SOBs are in custody. But we've seen this play out before, haven't we? First in St. Maarten, and then again in France, these two have been picked up, freed on bond, and then fled again. 

I'm holding out hope that the authorities in Spain know better this time. The time for Jones and Gracey to face their day in court is long overdue.

  1. I don't know what to say. I don't know if congrats is the word, but the fact these two POS were found again, are behind bars, and long overdue to be prosecuted 'til the end of time will have to be enough for what they took from you. Wishing you all the hearing there is left, Pat.

  2. Pat, I am so happy that at least SOMETHING has happened towards justice being served for you and yours. I hope with all my soul that Aimee will finally get to have the final peace she deserves, and that you and your lived ones that hold Aimee dear to their hearts find the same peace from getting closure (hopefully if the powers that be don't screw it up again). Much love, my old friend

  3. I am one of Aimees second cousins. She was a beautiful person and has a darling daughter. This tragedy shattered our family. It is a horrific story and these two evil doers need to be in prison the rest of their lives!! LET THERE BE JUSTICE
