SEARCHING FOR JOHN SPIRA

ID Discovery has begun airing commercials for the Disappeared episode about John. Please be sure to spread the word that the show will air on 3/15 on the ID Discovery channel.

WBBM, ABC7, Channel 2 and Kane County Chronicle all ran stories about John for the 3 year date. Thanks to them for their continued interest in the story. We need media on John’s case to keep things moving forward.

Tad DiBiase, the former federal prosecutor we are working with stated on WBBM that the police should investigate this as a murder. That has been something I’ve been trying to get them to do for 3 years; maybe now they’ll take a more serious look. Why the police continue to call this a missing persons case is beyond me; they know it’s murder; they know it is.

My goals for John’s case are (1) call it murder and (2) more national media coverage. Maybe if the police say this is murder we will get media coverage; and those responsible will feel a little more pressure than they’ve felt to date.

The Dupage County Sheriffs Dept. issued a press release today which is cool; think it may be the first time. They simply said “this is still an active missing person case”. However, when called to speak with a reporter about the case, they refused saying it was after 5, yea. And again, why must they continue to call this a missing person case when they know this is homicide? I just don’t get it…

how Suzanne is spending the day tomorrow. Obviously we have nothing planned publicly but there is no reason she couldn’t do something public; make a statement to the press, get her friends and family (where’ve they been anyway?) to pass out fliers, organize a search; take a lie detector test. And David Stubben; wonder if he and his employees will have some sort of remembrance for John at the office; maybe he’ll do something publicly; talk to the press; return their phone calls, make a contribution to our search fund like he said he would or, take a lie detector test…

It will be 3 years tomorrow that John was murdered and we still have no answers, still don’t know where he is or how he died. Seems that the need to know these things isn’t borne merely out of curiosity but out of innate human need. That’s why we can’t rest until he’s found and until he gets justice.

We miss him immensely.

On the sneak peak for the Disappeared show that will air on 3/15, Major Mark Edwalds of the DuPage County Sheriff’s Dept said the following: “We have no clues that have conclusively pointed us in one direction over another direction….” I haven’t seen the entire show yet and perhaps that quote is out of context somehow but my response is, huh???

Here are some well known facts: Very acrimonious divorce which was to be finalized just a few days after John’s disappearance; wife stands to gain some $$$$, wife won’t agree to lie detector test; did not assist in anyway in trying to find John, no searches, no vigils, no flyers, nothing; business partner, Dave Stubben, went to Suzanne’s after John’s disappearance, John and Dave having bad financial problems and Dave was upset with John, heavy duty plastic sheeting was found to be missing from the biz when investigators searched early Sun morning, Dave was the last person to see John alive at the biz, John’s car never left the biz, Dave will not take lie detector test. Then there’s the building that burned down in Sep which was right across the street from the sign we had just put up that disappeared around the same time as the fire. Ok that’s all circumstantial, but seems to point in only one direction, foul play. And don’t forget, this happened in the middle of winter during a bad snowstorm and John didn’t take any of his stuff, including his car WHICH NEVER LEFT HIS WORK PARKING LOT!!!

Here are the facts about John going missing voluntarily…oh wait, there are none.

Seems like more facts to support foul play than voluntary missing man.

Again, same circumstances and John was a woman, this would have been handled completely differently.

Finally, the show we taped a year ago will air on 3/15/10. It’s already been advertised but I’m not sure what channel; it’s on cable. If you scroll down you can see the sneak peak. Please tune in and spread the word!
