HELP, ZOE IS MISSING!

Donation protected
Zoe's been kidnapped!
My brother Eric has been living in the Dominican Republic for the last 13 years. He married there and had a lovely daughter, Zoe who is now 8 years old.. Eric and his wife separated. They amicably co-raised Zoe from their separate homes.

Until last April.  That’s when Zoe’s mother took her on what was to be a 30 day trip to the US. SHE NEVER RETURNED and is in hiding with Zoe, we believe somewhere in Massachusetts.  This has devastated Eric and our whole family.  Because, legally this is international child kidnapping, Eric has been communicating with The Department of Immigration in both the DR and the US. He has taken legal action utilizing the Hague Convention. And has hired private investigators to try to find Zoe.
 
All of this costs. And the fees are racking up. Between private investigators at $1000 a day and legal fees in the DR and the US, Eric needs your help to get Zoe back!   Any amount helps. Really, ANY AMOUNT!

We're sending this to those who have known Eric and have a love of our family. Please feel free to share far and wide. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
UPDATE:
Intentionally we are not posting detailed updates to maintain discretion. Progress, although slow, is being made. Legal efforts are continuing in the Dominican Republic. In the States lead by lead, hours and hours, step by step, closer to finding Zoe. Resources dictate the pace of Zoe's rescue. This is where Zoe needs your help.
 
 
PLEASE HELP US GET ZOE BACK.
 
With so much gratitude,
Emily and Zac Rymland
