"Seeing the Faces You Can Almost Hear the Voices, Pleading for Their Names"

Revised Excerpts from DoeNetworkNEWS - 2004

Featured Doe Network member is June Holman.

June has a family background in Law Enforcement. Her grandfather had been deputized and her father became warden of St. Charles Parish Jail. Her mother was considered one of the best jail cooks in Louisiana. June worked in bookkeeping, and like her mother…did some cooking at the Sheriff's Office.

You might say that the family had "maximum exposure" to the world of law enforcement. In fact her entire family were all deputized at one time. "I believe that my early exposure to the 'darker side' had de-sensitized me to some of the evil things that really happen in this life. Perhaps this was the first step in preparing me for Doe Network." Says June. Finishing first in her class June took course in screen writing and went to conferences in Hollywood and Santa Fe. All part of what June feels was fate taking her down a different path than what she had intended for my life. Perhaps this was the second step?

Daughter Linda and a "handsome grandson", Phillip, the lights of June’s life, have been living with her since her husband passed away. One door closes, but others open as life progresses down the twisting path. Some times the things that appear to be tripping stones turn out to be fate intervening.

"Phillip had been using my car to go to work daily so that left Linda and I with time on our hands and no way to get around. That’s when Linda discovered Doe Network. Knowing how much I love a mystery, she told me about it. Together, we decided to join knowing that our different way of looking at things could be to our benefit here. Was this the third step on my journey?" explains June.

"When I first got into Doe Network, I was overwhelmed with the heartbreaking stories that I read. They were fascinating and frightening at the same time. I was hooked from the start. If the stories didn’t get you, then the sheer amount of people missing and unidentified remains surely would. Little did I know that this was where it would all come together." Says June describing the finding of her path.
