Kidnapped: Jon Lucero, step-father of 3 girls and husband of Stacy Pyle

Kidnappers: Daughters Shaylin, age 14, Alyssa, age 11, & Taylor, age 9

Enrollment is important for any school and Jon was doing his best to fill the classrooms…but at a price. However, Jon felt obligated to be there for his former school. When he was young his father passed away from stomach cancer and his school stepped up to be there for him. Sadly, this same school was taking Jon away from his own kids…no longer allowing him the time to be the goofy, fun-loving dad. His job doesn’t ask it of him, he just felt passionate about giving back.

As the family sits at the table set for four (there doesn’t even seem to be a chair for him anymore), Jon headed out the door. Coming from a close family, I know that when someone is missing from the table…it is felt. Clearly this was the norm for the Pyle Lucero family being that Jon was working 12 hour days, 7 days a week.

Take dad to the Santa Monica Pier where there is a trapeze school. They just had to get working to put their kidnapping in motion.  [read more…]
