It is now a week since a 32-year-old son, husband, father has been absent from his home. Tim Bosma had advertised his 2006 Dodge Ram pickup for sale. He lives in Hamilton with his wife and infant daughter. At 7:30 in the evening last Monday he waved a cheerful farewell to his wife, assuring her he wouldn't be long. He went off for a demonstration drive with two young men from Toronto who expressed interest in his vehicle.

And then, he never returned.

His wife has made a tearful plea for his return the following day. On Mother's Day, Tim Bosma's mother Mary Bosma added her frantic voice to an appeal for her son's return to his family. She desperately conveyed the message that her son needed to return to his wife and his daughter. All of his relatives were anxiously awaiting that time when their loved family member would return to them.

No word has been received throwing any light on where he could possibly be.

His truck has been recovered. One of the men involved in his abduction is now in custody. Toronto resident, 27-year-old  Dellen Millard is charged with forcible confinement and theft over $5,000. Police are searching for the second suspect.

"Even though there's been an arrest, he still is not home with us. My heart is broken. I love him so much. We just want him home", his mother pleaded to the public. The public's heart is with her. But public distress at such a turn of events that succeeds in twisting so many peoples' lives with the anguish of loss is helpless in the face of the presence of maleficent psychopaths among us.

Over 300 tips have been received from the public by police through a specially set-up hotline. Investigators are assuring that they have "relentlessly pursued" them all, and will continue to. The passion for a miracle to occur, and Tim Bosma to be restored to his family suffuses society.
