I would love that.

Peace on Earth is a real... I'm like, damn, that is...

you just you wish somebody would get that that wish and actually have it happen honestly because it would be real nice if everyone was just chilling yeah imagine if everyone was just chilling i can't even picture it to be honest with you that everybody was just minding their own business

no helping out their brethren when they could yeah i mean that's how i try to live my life i obviously everybody can be an asshole sometimes but like to this degree no at this point in my life i'm just trying to chill yeah she just threw up i'm just trying to chill i am just trying to chill

But no, like I said, I really do think that's why we should be telling these stories.

So aware of the restrictions on law enforcement in an international case, the Kilroys turned to the nearby communities for help.

In the early days, Jim went down to the bridge that crossed into Matamoros and handed out missing flyers from morning until night.

just hoping that somebody he was going to run into and hand that flyer to would know something and give them some kind of lead they could work with.

That truly breaks my heart.

It's awful.

Family friends also joined the search.

Mark's former basketball coach, Joe Rodriguez, spent the first week traveling back and forth to Matamoros, interviewing what are called veladores, and those are the men who provided security for local businesses and bars, kind of like a bouncer.

Jim said of the Rio Grande Valley communities that helped search for Mark, they were just absolutely wonderful how they coddled us and took care of us.

Which is really sweet.

Like it's, this case does not end up.

No.

This is not a happy ending.

No.

Which I obviously hate.

But at the very least, it's nice that these communities were able to work together.
