The World According To Chris Brewer

The following is a comment on my previous Gabe Triplett post, by The Daily News (Longview, Washington’s newspaper) Leslie Slape:

A man’s body was found April 12 in Goble Creek near the falls. The Oregon Medical Examiner hopes to make an identification by Tuesday using dental records. The sheriff’s office said it is a white man possibly in his 20s to 30s.

Thank you for the update, Leslie…I had contemplated putting this on my blog so people could continue to be abreast of what is happening and to pray about it. Kudos to you and the TDN staff for the informative reporting on Gabe’s disappearance.

The full Daily News story online is here, for those of you interested in reading it.

Let us all be reminded to not jump to conclusions about anything until a positive identification is made on the body. Instead, let’s lift Gabe and the Triplett family up in prayer, and give thanks to and for those who have been involved in the search for Gabe thus far. That is the best thing we as the public can do while we sit, wait and hope for a positive outcome to this situation.

Rainier is a very tight-knit community and this is a story that has touched many, if not all of us with close ties to that small town in Northwest Oregon. I know from a personal standpoint, my heart is heavy for the Triplett family and all they have had to go through over the past few years. My prayers and thoughts have been with them since Gabe’s disappearance and will be for quite some time.
