The reason I am contacting you is because I am concerned about my best friend. His name is Jonathan Hill. He told me the saddest story I’ve ever heard. He talked about waiting 29 years to find his soul mate. He said, “I found my soulmate at the Walmart on Creighton Rd. in Pensacola, FL. on 15 January 2019.” He said,” I felt a magnetic pull towards her.” He said, “I’ve never seen anything as beautiful as her.” She was comparing two bottles of apple juice when he met her. He went back to his car and it turned out “his soul mates” car was parked next to his. He decided to make her his wife the night after he met her. Then, he went about trying to find her. He talked about using media resources, private investigators, craigslist, and human resources. He planned to bring her on the Viking Ultimate World Cruise for their honeymoon. In March of 2019 he was kidnapped, brought to the Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office in Milton, FL., and held captive until a couple weeks after the cruise departed. We are killing every person who prevented him from going on the Viking Ultimate World Cruise. He’s not given up on her. He said, “I will always love my apple juice baby.” He attempted suicide around Thanksgiving of 2019 and Christmas of 2020. He said, “I don’t want to live without my apple juice baby.” He hung a bottle of apple juice on his wall to remind him of her. He’s trying to get on with his life, but can’t get her off his mind.
