life goes on

[Lauren Conlin @conlin_lauren]

A friend of mine’s brother and father went to Jaco Beach, Costa Rica to celebrate his 16th birthday, and within minutes, tragedy struck.

His friend Alon, also 16, was swept away by a current around 6pm, and his body has yet to be recovered.

There were no warning signs. No flags. No lifeguards (they leave for the day at 5pm). Nothing.

This happened on March 18. Since then, his parents and my friend’s dad have been desperately searching for his body.

They’ve organized search parties. They’ve worked with locals (who have been very helpful). They’ve even found two other American bodies while searching for Alon. Still no sign of him.

Jaco Beach is known for dangerous rip currents: reportedly 200 drownings a year, yet the tourists have no way of knowing how dangerous the rip tides really are.

Even more disturbing:
The U.S. embassy has been unresponsive.
No meaningful help. No urgency, specifically Melinda Hildebrand.
Alon’s parents just want to bring their son home.
If you’re traveling, or know someone who is, please be aware of Jaco Beach. Reach out to @TravelGov to push them for a response!

And please help this family:

Please share. This area is full of tourists who deserve to know the risks.

I'm getting to the age where I don't like when y'all make fun of people who are just being themselves & minding their own business. That's real ugly to me.

I don’t care how sneaky you think you are, how long you got away with it, or how manipulative you are. The Lord will not let you play around & backstab solid people. You reap what you sow.

I think it is mandatory, especially in the morning, to be quiet
