I am very interested in studying Criminology. This story is both heartbreaking and fascinating. I am glad your son's final moments were not as horrific as first suggested. I believe this Jose character was involved in murdering someone. At first, when he mentioned the amount of money paid to him, 700$, I believed the amount, but I believed he took it. I felt he was involved in your son's murder, but it didn't turn out to be a murder of Cody, but I believe this story is partly true, it's just about a entirely different person, or Pata should move to Hollywood.

When you announced that your son had gone missing (2014) I figured it would not lead to an eventual sigh of relief. I periodically kept up on news and new developments related to your search. I arrived back at you website today and can say that I am saddened about the conclusion but also realize that the closure you were seeking is most likely or somewhat satisfied. It seems you are nearly, if not completely, convinced foul play was not involved - I suspect that eases the pain but most likely still leaves questions unanswered (are there any theories to his demise outside of foul play or evidence that was found suggesting otherwise? . <br /><br />I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers - wishing you peace. May you celebrate your son's extraordinary ( his experiences rival what a 1000's never see but only dream of) but short time on this Earth - He was, at the very least following his passion and was doing what he probably loved...RIchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015294620409732470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095331523579939357.post-62680737135345326222016-07-23T19:14:45.152-08:002016-07-23T19:14:45.152-08:00Feel bad for all individuals involved in this case...Feel bad for all individuals involved in this case/reality tv show series, not entirely sure this should have been televised after the truth surfaced...made it hard to feel sympathetic for the family as it seems like following in the path of the ovebearing father's footsteps is what caused this tragic incident in the first place. Desperate and impoverished people in a 3rd world society will lie like a rug when they feel they might be implicated in something serious, that's the only lesson to be learned here.

They are disarticulated and so the water's current and perhaps animals have dispersed them. <br /><br />Foul play is very hard for us to see, now, despite being convinced at one time that it had been a murder. There is essentially no physical evidence of foul play and substantial evidence of a lethal treefall event. I base that on the condition of the camp stove and the equipment that was outside and/or unattached to the backpack versus the what was inside the pack.<br /><br />And thank you for the complement.

His facial structure and his behaviour could be associated with having FASD. He is also an addict which means his brain structure is designed to confabulate and he is very easily led. The two investigators almost bullied him into playing along. They manipulated him into thinking he was doing a good thing. Putting this low functioning individual into a small room with a chair and a very intimidating series of questions is going to lead to him saying what they want to hear. This is typical of someone with FASD. His inconsistent version of events is also typical. It is very difficult to decipher what is true and what isn't with people who have this inherent brain damage. It's not a person trying to be deceptive. When pressured, he will respond with an answer even if it's not the truth. It's really frustrating but it's not deliberate. I am so sorry for your loss and it looks like your instincts were bang on from the beginning. I've learned a number of huge important things from this series. Thank you for that. I hope the investigators get the message too. What they did was criminal.

But if you had been to the site, seen the discovery photos, and the physical evidence (which Carson did not, for instance), then the foul play scenario would be very challenging to accept.<br /><br />If you see the TV show, then it's much easier to be convinced that it was foul play. The TV show was written around that, and I, too, believed it until confronted with the physical evidence at the site which I visited with the OIJ.<br /><br />There was no autopsy. However the dental records match and there was no signs of trauma to the skull.<br /><br />Originally, two years ago, before Carson or anyone involved with the show ever knew about the case, Pata Lora sometimes aid he'd been with our son, and sometimes did not.<br /><br />I think he, an outcast in his own community, reveled in the attention and in addition has a difficult time separating out truth from imagination.

You all obviously loved Cody Roman deeply and there's no doubt that your unconditional love was something he felt as a constant presence throughout his tragically short life. I think that fathers and sons who spend time together in the wilderness share an especially strong bond, and I cannot begin to imagine the sorrow you must feel. Your story will make me appreciate all the more the time I'm so blessed to spend backpacking, skiing, or paddling with my own son. I expect I'll think of both Cody Roman and you on our next such trip, whether that's in WV or the Brooks Range.<br /><br />With Sympathy,<br /><br />David Kogut<br />Arlington, VADavid Kogutnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095331523579939357.post-1297698393259586982016-06-28T00:31:37.537-08:002016-06-28T00:31:37.537-08:00Roman,
