Harry and Ann in France where he was born

From Ann Devert to me just tonight with a subject line “It’s Finished”

“They are running a DNA test on remains found in two black plastic
bags near a green Kawasaki motorcycle whose VIN number matches
Harry’s bike.

The police were conducting a routine operation walking the
countryside in the area of Lagunillas and found the semi-buried
bike and the plastic bags. The remains are unrecognizable.”…….

This is a difficult story to write. And over the months since January 25, 2014, I have wanted to write a post about the disappearance of Harry, but decided not to for a few reasons.

First, Harry’s mother Ann, was doing a spectacular job of getting Harry’s story out there. At first it was in the US press, where she and a group of Harry’s friends were able to have articles released about their plight to find Harry. Their #FindHarry campaign drew 25k followers.

And secondly, I was helping and advising behind the scenes and a friendship and admiration developed, and I wanted what was between us to stay there. I always knew the chances of Harry being alive were extremely remote. I felt the best second scenario, was to her to get answers and be able to bring her son home for a burial. It appears the second has happened….but my God, is it better? Her sons remains in trash bags?

I came to know Ann through a prompting of a mainstream newspaper reporter, who asked me to consider helping the family. Typically I do not get directly involved with kidnapping cases. But eventually I did. And Ann and I became friends. I was helping as much as I could behind the scenes. and I encouraged her to go to Michoacan, and to facilitate articles in Mexican papers, especially Michoacan.

I asked Dr Mireles for his assistance, he went one step better, offering to accompany her on her search and helping in the towns with autodefensas.

She did go but decided to concentrate in Guerrero first, as she heard rumors of possible sightings of Harry there in Zihuatanejo.

Harry had checked out of a bed and breakfast in Michoacan and planned to travel to a beach in Zihuatanejo on the Pacific coast, which was in the final scene of the film “The Shawshank Redemption,”. But he then disappeared. The plan was to join friends in Brasil for the World Cup Games.

Ann had just returned to New York, but was planning to return to Mexico. One of her final acts was to leave a sample of her DNA….in case. Harry was her only child. I will write about his extraordinary life at a later date.

Harry’s words from his blog:

“To have a dream and figure out a way to pursue it. I don’t think many other animal species are capable of that. I doubt there’s anyone who, on their deathbed ever lamented pursuing a passion, pursuing a dream, I imagine in fact it would be quite the opposite. “The saddest thing in life is wasted talent,” Sonny told Calogero in A Bronx Tale. We all have talents, we all have dreams, the amazing thing being that everyone’s talents and dreams are unique. My dreams are undoubtedly different than yours, and that’s what makes us all interesting. It’s what makes us all beautiful. ”

Ann writes in her email: “Thank you, Chivis, for being courageous in the face of horror and evil and for being my friend..”

A finer lady does not walk this earth, she is the mother I hope I am.
