Update on Wrangler Shane Leesman, I have been on the phone all day with govt. officials from all over the U.S.. I am looking to get additional resources pushed down to Belize ASAP. We have had a few hurdles to overcome but we are making some head way. As it stands right now, Wrangler is still lost at sea. that being said there is still a chance that he is alive and in need of rescue. Until we get all the resources we need dedicated to the Search and Rescue we will be contracting out a charter helicopter. This service is not free and runs about $1,125.00 an hour. We have permission from the family to set up a general purpose fund through PayPal. I know times are hard but if you can please reach into your hearts and into your pockets and donate what you can it would be greatly appreciated. Please send your payments to jenn.richards6@yahoo on paypal. Because we feel that Wrangler is still out there and in need of our help, we would ask that everyone please stay positive. If anyone has any questions, concerns, comments, ideas, or a message they would like to convey to the family please PM me and I will gladly answer them. As of right now the family does not want to field any questions from anyone just yet. We ask that you respect their wishes and either go through me or Anthony Chavez. I would like to take the time right now to say thank you to everyone who has been helping out. Id also like to thank all the local news stations in Houston, Austin and in Arizona. Last but not least I would like to thank Belize for all their support in searching for Wrangler. They have given up a lot of their own time, effort and resources to make sure our Ranger gets home. I know it is frustrating and we all want more to be done, but I assure you the government and people of Belize are fully committed to getting wrangler home. The local fishermen in the area have put aside their own jobs and livelihood to look for him too. Our message is being heard and we are starting to get more and more support. The biggest thing we can do is stay positive and uplifting towards each other. As I am typing this a new update occurred. An American HELO from Joint Task Force Bravo(American special operations troops stationed in Latin America) is in the air looking for wrangler. They are taking a break in the search because the weather is not permissive, but as soon as its safe for them to be up in the air and looking for Wrangler they will.
