Saturday, January 30, 2016: Time really does fly Sam. Before we came to DIF to try and see you yesterday, I was eating breakfast with Jorge at the hotel. A news item came on Azteca TV regarding the space shuttle disaster from 1986. It was the 30th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger blowing up over South Florida killing everyone aboard. I remember this like it was almost yesterday.
Back in the early to mid 1980’s the space shuttle program was in full swing. Watching these magnificent machines launch into space was a such a spectacle that they were always broadcast on live TV. Always. The Challenger launch was no different. This trip was historic before it ever left the launching pad. Christa McAuliffe was the first woman astronaut that was going to be launched into space on this trip. Unfortunately it was not meant to be as something mechanical went horribly wrong. I was in my second year of high school when this happened. Back then, all the schools in the United States had TV’s in the classrooms for these space shuttle events and this one was no different. The instant the Challenger blew up, everyone knew what had happened. The silence in the classroom that day was deafening. Followed by people crying in disbelief. The space program would learn from this, which they did. And flourished as a result. It was not until recently that the space shuttle program was retired altogether to make way for private companies to take their turn at manned space travel. Christa McAuliffe is still an inspiration to this day Sam. It just goes to show what human beings can accomplish when they put their minds to something positive.
But I digress Sam. Investigators spent a couple minutes with the Adriana’s neighbors before we saw Maria Guadalupe Tenorio Toledano (AKA Lupita Tenorio, Marsha Tenorio) with the propane gas people. At the time, their information did not seem to be that important other than them telling us that the truck in front of the house is owned by someone in the house. That same truck was there when I went out there last year too. The other thing the neighbors said is that the house is pretty quiet and the trees and grass is never well maintained. That did not register with me until I arrived home.
The timing and the hostility in the comment Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel) and Danny Howitt (AKA Daniel Duncan Howitt, Elizabeth Farquhar Duncan, Kenneth Duncan) left was no coincidence. Which leads me back to the court clerk who royally screwed this up in the first place. Whoever that clerk is that Adriana lied to, that person should be fired from that job. There is absolutely no excuse for what happened. We never bought the excuses we heard from them when we tried to have her served last year. Hind being what it is, we are kicking ourselves for not making it an issue in October or November when we were there. That clerk cost us several months because we spent that time looking for all of you with information that was questionable to begin with. When all of you were sitting in the same place the whole time. We trusted that this court had their shit together given how they ran that ship in the previous few months. That’s on us Sam. A mistake we will not make again. Moving forward, Adriana has no idea what’s coming next. No doubt about it. It does not matter where she is Sam. Her behavior is not only reckless it’s dangerous for you.
The script is about to be flipped.
