Texas EquuSearch would like to take this time to extend our deepest gratitude to the law enforcement agencies of Galveston County, and the FBI who worked so hard to identify this precious child and return her to her loving family.  Their tireless efforts, along with those of the District Attorney’s Office, have enabled this case to be brought to trial at this time.  Over the last year, the tremendous work and support of agencies such as BACA, (Bikers Against Child Abuse), and the love shown by local citizens in this case, show how deeply the members of the community care about our children.

Most importantly, we ask that everyone please keep Riley’s grandmother, Sheryl Sawyers, and her father, Robert Sawyers, along with her other extended family in your prayers as they go through this difficult time.  Once again, the horrible story will play out for all to hear, and the family’s suffering will deepen.  As they struggle through the next few weeks, we hold them warmly in our hearts with deep affection and faithfully in our prayers.

 11/29/2007 - One month after little Baby Grace’s body was found, we were able to keep our promise and return to the island to replace the name plaque bearing her name Riley Ann Sawyers. Galveston County Sheriff’s investigators were given the honor to do this. May she now rest in eternal peace. Please keep Robert and Sheryl Sawyers in your prayers during this horribly difficult time.
