Comments: I wanted to write because it seems to be the best way for me to handle my feelings surrounding Amos' disappearance. I was engaged to Amos after we had been in a relationship and living together for over a year. I left my name anonymous because my presence is potentially unwanted by the family. Regardless, I feel I had a right to express my feelings about Amos because he has been a huge influence in my life and I hold a sacred space for him inside of me. I apologize that it might have seemed inconsiderate not to mention my name, but I felt that it might be easier for certain family members to read my words without a name attached. I am still figuring out how to handle all of my feelings surrounding Amos, and it just seems that sharing the memories and thoughts and ideas that come to mind when I think of him help in some way to keep his presence awake and hope alive. I felt if I shared these thoughts on his page that it might help others keep hope as well...if it does not, please let me know and I will just journal them in my own book. With much regard...

Location: WV Comments: I write this message to soul companion. Why do you post these messages? Your writings seep in compassion, yet where is the compassion for Amos' mother, family and friends with your continued anonymity? Soul companion/Selah, I hope you will pause and reflect and make yourself known. This family deserves answers. If you have none to give, you have no reason to hide.

Location: Madison, WI Comments: Hi Kat, Thank you so much for taking the time to post your thoughts and letting us know that you care and are thinking about Amos. I will give a special hug to Gnosis for you. Poor Gnosis…he is so sad. Thank you again for your "hugs of positive energy" and your prayers. I am glad that your son is with you. We really do appreciate your acts of kindness and we will try to take care of ourselves.

Location: Madison, WI Comments: Hi Kim, They all had interesting things to tell me, and I still believe that there are people out there that can tell me specific up-to-date information that leads me to Amos or what took place @ 5078 Lacy Rd. I need them to contact me. I will listen to anyone. I have respect for people that have "special" abilities and continue to help people using these abilities.

Location: Madison, WI Comments: Hi Kim, Thank you for posting. Yes, I called Kathleen the minute that I got off the phone with the police on the first day that we realized Amos was missing. I have had the help of other psychics, animal communicators, remote viewers, and astrologers but so far, no one has found Amos. Thank you for recommending Kathleen though, and if you think of any other theories, help, etc. please email me with those. My email address is always listed with my posts or you can find it on the "Contact Us" link. I would appreciate any thoughts that may help find Amos. Thank you so much as well for saying a prayer everyday on your way to work past Amos’ house. That is positive energy as you pass the exact point of Amos' disappearance, just maybe...just maybe something amazing or mystical may happen one of those times, whether you get a feeling, or some sign..we just don’t know. Thank you again.

Location: Brooklyn, Wi Comments: Margie This may sound strange, but have you ever considered speaking to a psychic? One that I would reccommend is Kathleen Schneider. I have gone to her twice and she told me things that no one could possibly ever know. She is quite amazing. She is in Middleton. Her phone number is 836-1935. Just a thought. I drive by Amos's house everyday on my way to work and say a little prayer. I hope he finds his way home to you.

Location: Madison, WI Comments: Hello Everyone, Today is Mothers Day and it is also a full 6 months that Amos has been missing and thinking of that reality makes me feel physically sick. I have in front of me the Mothers Day card Amos gave me last year. As in Amos’ character, it is a nature card created locally with a photo of Spiderwort taken in Spring Green in the Summer 2003. Amos took me out to Bluephies for brunch that day. We stood outside of Bluphies and chatted for a while before we got back into Amos’ truck to return home. I remember it being a very warm Mothers Day and that I was overdressed for the temperature. We were standing by the Knickerbocker sign outside Bluephies and Amos brought it to my attention that the spelling was wrong. We laughed about that. I want to hear Amos’ voice so I play his recorded message to Gnosis that he has embedded in a dog toy. I listen to a CD a long-time friend of Amos’ burned for me. It is of them making music; Amos is playing the harmonica and they are making funny audio and it gives me a big smile and I laugh with them listening to it, but of course that follows my extreme sadness and teary eyes and crying. I must hear Amos even if in the end it leaves me broken. Anyone having any info. that has not yet come forth, please do. Just contact me if you don’t want to contact the police. If you overheard something, or are a friend of someone that you know is involved, or a boyfriend or girlfriend of someone...please contact me with whatever info. you have. My contact info. is listed on the Reward link. I want to take this opportunity again to thank all of you for keeping Amos in your thoughts. I still have very high hopes that Amos is out there and will be home soon. I didn’t get a call from him on his brithday, I haven’t received one yet for Mothers Day but that doesn’t wash away my hope.

Location: Madison, WI Comments: Hi Diane, Thank you for being a regular visitor to Amos’ website. We all appreciate the fact that you continue to care and your thoughts and positive energy are still flowing out there to bring Amos home. Thank you for wishing Amos a Happy Birthday. I know that he is out there Diane (gut feeling). Where? That is the question. Why is he missing? That’s another question. I need some answers...that is all I know. The police are working hard on the case but they really don’t share any specific info. with the family, and well...they ask us to trust them, yet they don’t want to trust us. This is a problem. Chicago is a great city with warm-hearted people, Art & music, variety of food galore, and a great transit system. Yes, Amos enjoyed his visits to Chicago. We always talked about taking a visit to Chicago together. I am still very hopeful that we will make that trip in the near future. Thank you as well for attaching Amos' website’s url to your email signature...that is a great way to help spread the word.

Location: Madison, WI Comments: Hi Sara from April 14th, Thank you so much for keeping Amos and all of his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. I would say that we are both blessed to know Kristin and Emily. Their efforts to help in so many ways; I can’t tell you how much of an impact that has had for the search for Amos and for myself to communicate with all of you. I hope as well that the reports are erroneous except for the part about finding Amos. I just feel that he is out there, and I also feel that the detectives are very close to cracking the case. Strength at times is very difficult to muster up…but you do it, because you need to be ready to always fight for your child.

After the press conference, I felt that life stinks…and then it gets worse, ya know? I too hope for a safe return of Amos. His Birthday is April 28th and it would be the greatest present ever for everyone to see him walk through the door. I was doing better before the press conference but that threw me back a few pegs. I’ll get stronger again; I will never lose my fight for my son. Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers.

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and pray for you to find strength and peace during this trying time.

Comments: i just wanted to say...I've been thinking of Amos all day long. He is such a humble and beautiful spirit..so healing to my soul and powerful in his life and mine. I will always have such love for him. I am ever reminded of the wonderful gift of sharing such close and precious time with him. Even though I am so far from wherever he may be...I can feel his presence today, a beautiful presence of innocence and kindness that I loved and continue to love about him. I feel even though I don't know where he is...I know he has a connection with everything around me...and through that knowing..I am able to handle the fact that I cannot embrace him as I would wish, but through my own breathe I can breathe his breathe, Oh God, I miss him,.. still even he alone taught me that my attachment to him was only an illusion because in reality , in truth I lived in him and he lived in me...with much regard to the life and lessons that he taught and is still teaching me..I love you Amos, where ever you are and where ever you may be, i always remember our special seasons in the wind and the rain, and in the afternoons, your softness and gentleness surround me and the thought of you comforts me. Please come home soon. We are all hoping to see your shining face once again.

Location: Madison Comments: Hi Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts, and yes, please keep checking back to the website. I will post any information that I can...when I get it. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. It is unreal and unbelievable that something like this is happening. Just a year ago Amos and I were watching the Audrey Seiler search on TV...my god, I go over that scene over and over in my head: the two of us sitting in my apartment watching that, and now to have that happening to us...yes, it is surreal. Gnosis is doing fine staying with someone that cares about Amos & Gnosis, but I really need to go get Gnosis. Unfortunately, my current residence does not work for a large dog. I am looking to find a small house with a decent size yard in the Madison area but that is not an easy task. Housing is overpriced in Madison, especially if you are trying to purchase a house by yourself. I am very hopeful that you will have a chance to meet Amos in the near future.

We cant forget our furry friends and their feelings also. I wish I could have met Amos, from everything I have read,,he seems like an all around wonderful person. Many prayers and love being sent your way,,I will continue to check this website. Lisa

Location: Madison, WI Comments: Hi Karyne, Thank you so much for posting all your kind words, thoughts and prayers for Amos. It is so good hearing from Amos’ friends and classmates. The timing of your post has helped me get through this Easter Sunday. Memories of past Easters raced through my head all weekend. I remember seeing Amos discover his very first Easter egg by his pillow when he was old enough to understand that this was a special day. I also am going through mounds of receipts for taxes. Some receipts are close to the time when Amos disappeared. One from Willy St. Co-op marked October 23, 2004 and I think if only I or a friend of Amos’ had been at his house on November 8th, maybe we could have prevented whatever took place there. So yes, your post is not only thoughtful but it is truly helping me get through this day. Thank you so much for being Amos’ friend and that you still remember and think of him often. I can only think that has to help guide Amos back home, don’t you?

Location: Madison Comments: Hi Margie, I was just making my regular check-in and read about your dream. I feel your pain. I don't know about you, but I can remember the anger I felt when I drove down the street and saw people smiling and laughing - didn't they know he was gone...? I still experience this, just not as often. Know that you, Amos, Gnosis , and all who care for Amos are always in my heart and prayers. God never makes mistakes, even tho we may feel that way. Put your trust in Him. Questioning His actions (or lack of in our view) can increase ones anger and grief. Keep the faith. Later.

Location: Madison, WI Comments: Hi Diane and Christine, Thank you both so much for being there for Amos with your concerns, hopes, and prayers. Having a website that people all over the nation/world can access is the kind of exposure needed looking for a missing loved one. I can’t thank Emily & Kristin enough for creating Amos’ website immediately after we realized Amos was missing. This site helps me get through each day that Amos doesn’t come home by reading posts from caring people like you who take the time to say that you saw Amos’ website online, will “light a candle” for him and "hold his hand" to help guide him back home to us. I will share a moment with you: I had a dream about Amos on Thursday night. Gnosis was there with Amos and Amos was sitting in one of those Red Flyer-looking wagons. He had a t-shirt wrapped around his head in the fashion that guys do when they are outside working in the warm weather. Later that day, I was telling a co-worker my dream and at the end of it I said how great it was to see Amos again. That statement and the flash of the scene in the dream hit me like a brick. How much I miss Amos I cannot convey in words, but I can say that I left the office, went out to my car and sat there and cried and cried. The emptiness of not having Amos in my life and the feelings of letting him down for not figuring out where he is by now...well, there are times when life feels unlivable. Thank you again so much, as you know...your words, thoughts, and actions to help are so greatly appreciated by everyone that loves Amos.

Location: Madison Comments: Hi Cindy, Thank you so much for posting your comments. Yes, it hurt when I heard that the billboard for Amos had come down. I felt a deep sense that "they" had given up on Amos' return, but then I snapped myself out of that complete bleak feeling by remembering that I was lucky to have the billboard exposure for Amos at all...and for that I am grateful. The generosity of companies that give free services for Amos and the search is so very much appreciated. I just have to remember when I get down about the billboard not being up for Amos, or when I see that Amos’ poster has been taken down in a store where it used to hang—-this does not mean that I have given up hope in finding my son. This does not mean that the authorities have given up looking for Amos. It just means that life goes on for other people, and I understand that. Thank you again for your prayers and thoughts.

I continue to have a lot of hope that questions will be answered and the puzzle of where Amos is will be solved. As I posted earlier, I have a lot of faith in everyone working on finding Amos...they are dedicated to this search. Pam, I am so sorry about your mother passing. My heart goes out to you and your family for the pain that you are all feeling. Thank you again for keeping Amos, and all that love him, in your hearts and thoughts.

There hasn't been anything in the news for a couple of reasons: one is that nothing new has been found that the detectives can share with the public, and the other thing is that I am pretty well burned and turned off by two media companies in town that write fiction instead of the news, WSJ & Channel 27. I would like to speak to the media and give them our insight regarding how the investigation is going, how the family and Amos' friends are coping with getting up day after day, etc. but from negative past experiences with those two news outlets makes me extremely hesitant to speak with any of them. There isn't any trust there for me to believe that they are actually going to write or say what I/we *actually* said or get the facts right. The investigation is going strong, and the detectives are finding things out. I am very happy with the progress that the detectives, DA's office, police and all other groups/resources that are involved in finding Amos are doing. They are still working hard to find him...and I am really as hopeful as ever that Amos is coming home. Thank you again for your hope and support for finding Amos.

I am a mother now as well, and can only guess at how you are managing to keep it all together. I'm sorry to read that you are having problems with the local press. I hope AMW can help soon. Perhaps some info can come out of this John Doe investigation? I remember you as a very strong woman with a lot of spirit. I know those qualities are serving you well now. You and Amos are in my prayers. -Kristin

Location: Madison Comments: I just saw a Channel 27 WKOW very short article, and being a very short article it surprised me how 7.99/8's of it I never said. I mean, I never said almost all of it, it's unreal. For shady characters, please check your local reporter. They completely make up stuff saying that you said it, yet what they said you commented on, you didn't even know existed so there would be no possible way for you to comment on something that you don't have any information on...lord, is this non-professional jouranlism or what? A regular person has no recourse...you just have to sit and take their lies and distortion. These types of reporters make it rough for the decent ones...I met a couple of decent ones at the search site, they weren't from Channel 27 nor WSJ. It's unreal, course it is Madison, and if they don't make something up or lie...they've got nothing...poor stupid shady reporters. My door is slammed shut against Channel 27 and WSJ, please join me and block them out as well. thank you

Location: Madison Comments: I am really worn out and tired by the local media writing fiction instead of fact. Lisa Shuette of WSJ stated that Amos was arrested for meth...it was NOT meth, it was mushrooms, small quantity. This happened when Amos lived in Eau Claire, before he moved to Madison (moved here in summer of 1996), so hence her year he was charged is in question too. What is odd to me is that Lisa Schuette from the WI State Journal knows that Amos was charged with a mushroom crime not a meth crime. She knows this, because she brought it up to me when I gave in to my first and *last* long interview with a reporter. She told me about the mushroom charge. She said it like this, "you know he was charged with yadda yadda yadda, et. etc.?" I already knew this but she said it like she assumed I did *not* already know this... wanting to have some surprise element to lay upon me to see my reaction. To do that to a mother of a missing son is someone with a mean spirit. Now she states it is meth, like she got all mixed up. I don't think so. She intentionally lied. I was complaining about Lisa Shuettte from the WSJ to a Channel 27 reporter. He had the stupidity to say that maybe she was mixed up with the "M" words, yeah, that's what he said to me, a reporter…a writer, was mixed up by the “M” words. Yeah, like I'm getting mixed up here right now with the word reporter or riffraff...yeah, i'm so confused, reporter or riffraff, which could it be…I’m so confused, they are both "R" words. So, to-date, I am personally boycotting listening, buying, or talking to WI State Journal and Channel 27 news. I will contact them only to complain when they incorrectly report something. Thank you

Location: Madison Comments: Hi all, I just got word today from one of the two advertising companies. Babcock Advertising said that their "Find Amos" billboard on Hwy. 12/Middleton can stay up for a couple more months as long as no one asks to rent it. Hopefully no one will want to rent it, right? We are still getting people emailing me and posting that did not know that Amos was even missing until they saw the billboards. This means that there are plenty of people that don't watch the local news nor read the local paper, plus some of the people are from the surrounding area outside of Madison news stations. Our main "milk cartons" are the billboards. I don't believe that America's Most Wanted has shown Amos on TV yet either. They have not contacted me anyhow. I have emailed them as well without anyone replying to my email.

Location: Beaver Dam, WI Comments: Hi Everyone! I was in Madison on Thursday and saw the billboard, then went back on Friday and saw it again and came to the site. I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS IN BEAVER DAM!! When I clicked on the links, my heart sank. I did not know Amos, but for this to hit so close to home frightened me. I have a 22 month old son and am always worried about something happening to him, and when I read this, I knew I had to do something. I printed out some flyers and took them to the local cafe where everyone in town talks and eats after church, I also work at a hotel and put some on the counter and am working on gettimg them put on the door by the fire exits in every room.

Location: Madison Comments: Today Dirk and I were picking up at Amos' house. There were several "Gnosis toys" laying around. Dirk picked one up and it started to speak, "Hey, good boy Gnosis." Oh my god...it was Amos' voice, not the real deal but yes...it was Amos. It is so bittersweet to hear. On immediately hearing it I chuckled and smiled, but shortly after that I started weeping. I want the real voice back in my life...but for now, I am grateful to have this. Thank you Dirk for finding that for me.

Location: Madison Comments: I know as we get further and further away from November 8th, it is going to be harder and harder for people to remember things...but please, anyone reading this post may have seen Amos at Willy St. Co-op, Whole Foods, or Magic Mill that Monday...Amos may not have just gone straight home from classes at MATC. Maybe he stopped at a gas station. He may have stopped for some food...I just don't know. Please ask your friends, wherever they work, show them the website/flyers and see if they remember seeing Amos or Gnosis. Gnosis had to be in Amos' car or truck that day because Gnosis was not at the kennel, he had to be with Amos. Please email me if anything comes to mind for you or your friends. Pass the word, let's fill in the empty puzzle pieces and find Amos!

Not knowing what Amos' health may be-- is he warm? is he fed? I miss Amos...a lot. We always celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas together (even if not on the exact dates). Gnosis would always want our food, so we would appease him with bread (one of his favorite foods). Last Christmas I had huge soft pretzels for Gnosis so he was good with that for a while. I miss cooking for Amos, he's a joy to cook for with his large variety of food tastes. Plain and simple, I miss him...i just miss him. Thanks for letting me share.

Today started out very...very difficult for me. Regarding America's Most Wanted. I sent a packet to them last week. The packet of info. has to be sent overnight air (not electronically either) because the address is a P.O. box. Therefore it was sent the next fastest way and that was only Priority Mail. I have emailed AMW to ask how do we know if they are going to put Amos' photo on TV? To-date I haven't received any info. from them. There are many, many Missing Person's out there. We can only hope that they select Amos for nationwide exposure.

Location: Wisconsin Advocates for Families of Missing Poeple Comments: I first want to start by thanking all of those who put their life on hold to assist in the recovery efforts during the first week of Amos' disappearance and for those who continue to support the efforts and Margie herself. I have spent so many nights talking to Margie that she almost feels like family to me. I urge all of you to take a look at how you go about your everyday lives. Do ANY of you have an Adult Information Form??? It is similar to those ID kits parents have for their children. It is so crutial for everyone to have one and give it to a close friend or family member to have. You can not keep it as if you go missing we would not know where to locate it. Our organization has these forms at no cost. It is 1 sheet of paper that you use to enter important information and tape a photo to it. Remember it is not enough to have one, but to update it with every change. (i.e. new haircut, etc.)Please lets help keep each other safe by checking in with family, friends, roommates, etc. once a day. Briefly tell someone what your general plans are for that day. Leave a message, drop an email. It might take an extra 2 minutes, but it is well worth it in the long run. Again, everyone who has helped and offered support.... THANK YOU!! Margie- I keep you in my thoughts and prayers each and every day! ~Tanya~

The police and the detectives and all enforcement services across the board are actually working day-in and day-out, on the job, off the job...they do want to find out what happned to Amos...they are concerned, and they take finding out what happened to Amos very personally. I was having communication issues with only Chief Deputy Bates...I never ever thought that the authorities at any level took Amos' disappearnce lightly. From the beginning, from the first call that I made into the Fitchburg police dept., they took Amos' disappearance as a serious matter. Thank you again for being there for us, margie

My god, what I wouldn't give for him to have walked through that door and laugh that great laugh and smile that great smile that he has. I don't know many names, but I do want to thank Brent & Marty, Apollo, Apollo's parents, all the great "music-makers" that were spinning that night...the music rocked. I met so many people there that were only names before, and now I have faces to go with those names. I was introduced to many new people that names I did not know who knew Amos...you all are important to me as well. I spoke with many of Amos' old roommates that I had never previously met. It was great because I remember all the places Amos lived and what was going on in both of our lives at that time. I re-connected with many of Amos' friends that were there in the beginning of the search for Amos. It was an incredible and amotional night for me...very emotional. Once again, thank-you to everyone involved and to all of you that attended. Thank you from Amos & his family.

To all the detectives, police, sheriff’s departments, firefighters, State Patrol from all over (crossing over services, jurisdictions, and State lines) that put in so many hours on the job and off trying to find Amos The American Red Cross who were at the search site everyday-they were a godsend. They supplied everyone with hot drinks, snacks, water, a hot lunch (donated by Culvers and McDonalds), a shoulder to lean on, etc....I mean, I can’t tell you how much that meant to me having them out there for the folks searching for Amos All the rescue dog teams from all over Hickory Hills Kennel for their love and support for Amos, Gnosis, and me All donated readings from psychics and animal communicators Everyone offering to take care of Gnosis Advocacy groups (Wisconsin Advocates for Families of Missing People and The Crime Response team from the Dane County District Attorney's Office) for supporting me 24/7 Adams Outdoor Advertising and Babcock Advertising who did not think twice about helping us out...they immediately went to work on getting the billboards up the minute after I got off the phone with them. I feel that those billboards were #1 in getting Amos' face out there Kinko’s for giving us discounts on all work done for Amos Everyone that has put up a flyer and all those businesses allowing us to put Amos' flyer in their window Kristin and Emily for creating www.findamos.com I am sure I have missed thanking someone or some group, and I apologize for that.
