The last few days have been an emotional roller coaster. We heard on Monday that Jo's brother has not been heard from or seen since early October when he disappeared from Yellowknife.
There are good indications that he is alive but piecing together the facts from an overwhelmingly large selection of tiny clues has been exhausting.
I have learned so much this week about human nature that my head feels like it's going to explode. Listening to second and third hand reports is useful but you can't beat going straight to the source to get the facts. It seems that when someone relates an incident or a conversation to you, they can't help but include their own interpretation or understanding of an event and when the relay has already passed through more than one chinese whisper the facts can get seriously twisted.
The whole week has been spent speaking to everyone we can find who has spoken to or seen Phil in the weeks leading up to his disapearance and organising the effort to find him.
We put up a simple website to colate some of the information gathered so far at: www.philipmcneil.com.
Jo left for Yellowknife this morning. She's due to meet up with Julie when she arrives and start interviewing people face to face as well as recruiting a team to help her search for Phil.
I love you Jo. Good luck! Find him quickly.

Thanks so much for setting up that site, Rob. The suspense is intense beyond words. Best of luck, Jo & Julia! I wish there were more those of us who are farther away could do to help.
