OK, SO PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ME, WHO IS SAMANTHA? I WILL TRY AND ANSWER THIS QUESTION TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. ON AUGUST 30TH 1993 I REALIZED WHAT IT WAS TO HAVE SOMEONE STEAL MY HEART, I WAS SO AFFRAID OF THE CRIB DEATH, SIDS, AND HER JUST NOT MAKING IT, FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN PUBLIC DR.S NEWS. SAMANTHA WAS AT MY SIDE IN A BASSENET DOWNSTAIRS, NEXT TO ME AS I SLEPT ON THE COUCH, FOR 6 MONTHS, SHE DID NOT LEAVE MY SIDE. SAMANTHA, HAD AND STILL DOES HAVE THE FUNNIEST EXPRESSIONS, AND "GIGGLE SNORTS" AS A BABY, AND THEN GREW INTO AN INFECTIOUS LAUGH, AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT, THAT COULD GET A SMILE OUT OF A ROCK. SAM HAS THE MOST INFECTIOUS PERSONALITY, MESMORIZING EYES, AND PURE, GENUINE HEART, THAT ANYONE THAT HAS A SECOND FOR HER TO BEFRIEND, UNDERSTANDS, HOW SHE IS CALLED ALL OF THE PEOPLE SHE COMES INTO CONTACT WITH, THEIR BEST FRIEND. I HAVE BEEN A SINGLE FATHER FOR 16 PLUS YEARS, THE ONLY WAY I COULD HAVE DONE THIS IS BECAUSE OF HER PURE HEART. MY DAUGHTER MADE ME WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON, BUT NOT ONLY THAT, A BETTER DAD, WE ARE BEST FRIENDS, WE TALK AND SAY ANYTHING TO EACH OTHER, NO MATTER THE PAIN IT BRINGS, AND MOST OF ALL THE JOY AND LAUGHTER IT BRINGS. WHEN I SAY SAMANTHA IS MY HEART, I DO NOT SAY THAT WITH EASE OR UNCERTAINTY, I SAY THAT WITH CONFIDENCE, AND TRUTH. MY DAUGHTER, AS I, AND MOST THAT WILL READ THIS, HAVE HAD TRIALS IN OUR LIVES, HOWEVER, OUR RELATIONSHIP IS SO CLOSE, AND TRUSTING, THAT WE ARE ABLE TO COMMUCICATE WITH EACH OTHER WITH AN OPEN DOOR, OPEN ARM POLICY. SAMANTHA HAS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH HARDSHIPS, AND I USE THAT LIGHTLY, IN HER LIFE, I JUST PRAY SHE IS AS RESILIALNT THROUGH THIS TRAGEDY WHEN SHE GETS HOME, AS SHE HAS BEEN IN THE PAST. SAMANTHA IS A STRONG, VIBRANT, CARING, HONEST, TRUSTING, GENUINE PERSON, THATS WHAT MAKES ME SO HEART BROKEN FOR WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW, BUT THE PROUDEST FATHER IN THE WORLD FOR THE PERSON AND YOUNG LADY SHE IS BECOMING. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW HER, THIS IS NO NEW NEWS, FOR THOSE OF YOU YET TO MEET HER, YOU WILL SEE IT INSTANTLY, SHE IS MY HEART, MY SOUL, MY EVERYTHING. I WAS ASKED TO MAKE A STATEMENT OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THIS FOR HER NEW WEBSITE, I THOUGHT AND SAID GIVE SOME TIME, I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE TOUGH, TRUTHFULLY, AFTER THE FIRST WORDS, IT WAS EASY, BEACAUSE SAMANTHA IS WITH ME AND IS COMING HOME TO HER DADDY, AND WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO SAY ABOUT HER, WAS AND IS ALWAYS IN MY HEART. WE SURROUND EACH OTHER, I FEEL HER, SHE FEELS ME, SHE KNOWS I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SHE'S HOME WHERE SHE BELONGS. I DONT HAVE TO GIVE A PHYSICAL DISCRIPTION OF SAMANTHA, BECAUSE WHEN YOU MEET HER SOUL, YOU WILL RECOGNISE HER IMMEDIATELY. TO THOSE THAT HAVE HER AS A PRISONER, HAD HER AND PASSED HER ON, THAT KNOW OF HER TRAVELS IN THIS, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, FOR HER OR YOU, DO THE RIGHT THING, I HAVE SET UP EVERY POSSIBLE LINE OF COMMUNICATION TO HELP BOTH HER AND YOU, ANNONYMOUS OR OTHERWISE. I CAN HELP YOU, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR INVOLVEMENT, I WILL SET U FREE WITH WHAT EVER MONIES NEEDED TO GET YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO, JUST GET SAMANTHA BACK TO ME SAFELY, I CAN FIX ALIVE, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS, SHE HAS BEEN HARMED, AND HURT FROM THE BEGINNING, I UNDERSTAND THAT, I CAN WORK WITH THAT, JUST LET MY HEART COME HOME. I HAVE RESOURCES, GOOD AND BAD, I DO NOT WANT TO UNLEASH THE BAD, I DO NOT WISH ILL WILL AGAINST YOU OR YOURS, BUT IF THIS DOES NOT END SOON, YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE. AND SERIOUSLY IM SCARED FOR YOU. THIS IS NOT A THREAT, BUT A PLEA, I DO NOT HAVE COPS SITTING IN MY HOUSE, THEY HAVE MY COMM'S BUGGED I'M SURE, I WILL GET A PREPAY CELL, WHATEVER IT TAKES WHATEVER U DIRECT ME TO DO, I WILL DO IT WITH HONESTY, AND INTEGRITY, TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER, SAMANTHA TESSLA KOENIG, BACK AT HOME, ALIVE AND FIXABLE AT LEAST. PLEASE!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE PAIN YOU ARE CAUSING, IF THAT IS YOUR INTENTION, YOU SUCCEEDED, WITH GREAT PAIN. SHE IS NOT A PART OF THE "WHATEVER" "WHOEVER" DID TO YOU, SHE IS AN VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE, NO RELATION TO ANYONE WHO WRONGED YOU, SHE IS NOT WHO YOU WANT, PERIOD. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME CONTINUE THIS SEARCH, I DO NOT WANT WHAT I AM BEING FORCED TO UNLEASH. PLEASE AGAIN, AND AGAIN, LET HER INTO A CAB, AND COME HOME, OR TO A HOSPITAL, SOMEWHERE ANYWHERE, OTHER THAN, CAPTIVE IN YOUR "CARE". SHE IS DEEPLY MISSED, AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, I WILL ALWAYS BE COMING, UNTIL SHE IS RETURNED, I WILL BE COMING, LET HER COME HOME, FINISH YOUR VENGEANCE WITH THOSE THAT WRONGED YOU, BUT LET HER COME HOME. I WILL NOT PLEA AGAIN, I WILL HAVE TO TAKE OTHER MEASURES. PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA, GO ON WITH YOUR LIFE, I WILL STOP ONCE SHE IS HOME, YOU KNOW I'M CLOSE, MAYBE TOMORROW, I AM THERE. AGAIN, I DONT LIKE THREATS, THIS IS NOT A THREAT, THIS IS A FATHER, AS I'M SURE YOU MAY BE, PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES, WOULD YOU GIVE UP ON YOUR BABYGIRL? DIDN'T THINK SO. DO THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU! JAMES KOENIG, SAMANTHA'S DADDY!!
