I am sorry for your loss. I am trying to contact Gaynor Johnson. I believe this young man was a witness in a 1997 Kidnapping. I would like to talk with you. I have lost both of my parents so I can understand that it takes time to recover from such tragic events. Please reach out. You are in my prayers.
