Earlier DNA results were positive, but not as conclusive to the protocol standard required.  The forensics results that Ann was given last night was of a comprehensive 24 match DNA testing which resulted in a 99.9963% match.

Ann Devert's search ends in Mexico City where Harry's remains were transferred from Guerrero.

Her words today:
“There is no doubt this is Harry, my beloved son, Harry whose life was filled with delight, Harry whose boundless joy grew from the good times he shared with you, his friends, his companions, his allies, his heart. Harry carried each of us in his vast heart. And because there is a place for Harry in each of our own hearts, because that place is Harry's still, Harry is alive because YOU are alive. “ALIVE!, Ma!!!” he would say to me. “How great is that?!!”

“I ache from missing my son who was Life's great gift to me……”

Harry disappeared on January 25th of this year after leaving the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary  in Morelia, while traveling to Zihuatanejo,  on the Costa Grande of Guerrero.  

Zihuatanejo was a planned stop for Harry on his excursion to Brasil for the 2014 World Cup.

His visit to Zihuatanejo was prompted by the movie “Shawshank Redemption”. In the movie  the wrongfully convicted charter, played by Morgan Freeman,  says he longs to go to Zihuatanejo to live out his days.  Many tourist flock to the beach because of the movie and Shawshank Beach has become the beach's second name.  The final scene of the movie is supposed to be Zihuatanejo but in reality was the Caribbean.

Harry's mother Ann traveled to Mexico in search for her son.  Staying an extended period of time, pounding the pavements, meeting with the US, and French embassy's (Harry had dual citizenship), agencies of Mexico and US, interviews with Mexican press, handed out flyers and erected a large billboard in the place where people reported “sightings”.

Shortly after her return to  New York, she was notified that remains were found, in La Union Guerrero,  along with a green Yamaha motor bike which they thought to belong to Harry.  She returned to Mexico where she has been since, first in Guerrero, then to DF where the case was transferred.

It is my belief that it is because of Ann's tenacity in her search,  is what resulted in her knowing for certainty that her son was dead, and gave her the ability to take his remains back to New York.

I have not known of a case that culminated with these results.  It is a fact that when Ann arrived in Guerrero, it was not easy to forget there was a mother searching for her son Harry who disappeared riding his Yamaha. 

An anonymous caller directed authorities to the remains which were exhumed elsewhere and redeposited.  Among the belongings with Harry's remains, were fabric bracelets which he was wearing.  

Ann now has them on her wrist.

There is another Ann waiting for answers in the disappearance of  her brother, James Stacy, who also disappeared on January 25th , 2014.  He was driving his truck back to the states, after visiting his long time girlfriend in San Luis Potosi.  

After a late start he was between Victoria and Matamoros when a SLP friend named Carlos,  says James  called him  saying he was fearful as men in two white trucks were following him, the friend heard gunshots before the call dropped.  Carlos supposedly tried calling James cell with no answer until 11:00PM when a man answered identifying himself as a Mexican Navy element.  The”sailor” said not to worry his friend is ok and would be released.    Carlos asked to speak to James, the speaker was activated on the cell so he could speak to James.  Carlos said he asked James if he was alright, he said he was but Carlos reports James sounded frighten.

James' bank accounts were drained and he was never heard from again.  His GMA Black Sierra was never found.  

Ann reports that her mother's health has dramatically declined over James' disappearance.   James mother wanted to travel to Tamaulipas in search of her son.  I discouraged the trip at this time due to the spike in violence outbreaks occurring at this time.

His truck license plates are Kentucky plate Number: 398KMR

The James Stacy case triggered the memories of my brother's murder, no doubt because I was communicating with a sister who has lost a brother, I could relate personally.

If you have any information regarding James Stacy disappearance please notify authorities below, or an American Embassy, alternatively send to me at the email address aforementioned.  You information sent to me will remain completely anonymous.
