![]() ![]() If he isn’t with us anymore, I would like him properly laid to rest. ![]() If it was your daughter, it was her boyfriend, whoever – you just want to know.ĬLEGG: I want closure so baby for baby DeOrr. I can’t lose hope but I’m losing hope he’s still alive.ĮATON: Every year when we’ve done interviews, you’ve said you just want to know what happened. I still want that two and a half-year-old boy brought back to us. I want to make sure I can be there to support Jessica or Vernal or anyone when and if there is news that breaks.ĮATON: Has your thought about what happened to DeOrr changed over the past year or four years?ĬLEGG: Honestly I still have hope that he’s still alive but everyone keeps saying that at this point, he’s probably not alive. If I go away for the weekend, I tell them where I’m going to be so they all know where I’m at. I still lean on David, I still lean on Bonneville County. That’s where I have to remember to get my answers from is from him. He just has said, ‘Trina, I need you to remember that I need you to be strong and I need you to continue to be patient.’ I wait for the answers to come from him of what did you find, is it anything, is it related, etc. We’re still waiting for Lemhi County to do their job and Penner and I talk quite a bit. Have they told you anything? Are you still wondering like the rest of us?ĬLEGG: Yes. That’s not to say there wasn’t anything – there might be processing time – but basically, there’s not a lot of new information. I talk to him on a very regular basis and I just feel like he brings a lot of hope to the case.”ĮATON: A few weekends ago the Lemhi County Sheriff’s Office did work at the campground and they have not announced anything significant that was found. You are the family member of a missing child and I don’t expect that.’ David and I have become very close. He said, ‘I don’t expect you to do anything for me. I offered to help feed him and let him stay in my home but as a PI and trying to stay neutral, he can’t do that. He said he didn’t expect me to give me a dime. But when get someone comes in and they are so gung ho and positive and David’s come here with a lot of his own money. And I know that Lemhi County and Bonneville County and Missing and Exploited Children – they’re all out there for the same thing. We’re not done.’ Just to have that again. He promises me every day, ‘Trina, I’m not done. Not necessarily fighting for anybody in the family or anything like that, but someone’s that out there. It brought a lot of hope and it still does bring a lot of hope because it’s another person out there fighting for baby DeOrr. ![]() I still expect to see baby DeOrr as that same two and a half-year-old little boy. And I’m still not giving up that hope because I know that there’s more to come. Is that where you went when he told you this news?ĬLEGG: Absolutely. It kind of gave a lot of people hope that there might finally be closure. The sheriff’s office hasn’t said what that hit was. He went public and said that his dogs hit on a spot at the campground. He is a private investigator from North Carolina who came to Leadore a month or two ago with his cadaver dogs. ![]() Sorry that he took his eyes off that baby and he just kept telling Jessica that he was so sorry.ĮATON: You mentioned David Marshburn. He just kept telling Jessica that he was very sorry. I had someone close to me say, ‘Does it scare you that you may never find the answers?’ That was a really big reality that as a grandparent, we’ve lost the two great-grandparents and that was a little rough thinking I may never find the answers.ĮATON: I’m sure people have asked if your father had anything to say about DeOrr before he passed.ĬLEGG: No. It doesn’t mean we don’t but I thought for sure we would know something and then my dad passed away. When Marshburn came in and gave us some new information, I thought we had it. I wanted the answers so much before Dennis Kunz died in January and then I said, No, we’ll get the answers before my dad dies. I feel like I haven’t had a chance to grieve for my father because there was so much going on so it’s really still very difficult. We had (private investigator) David Marshburn come in and do some new searches and then my father passed away. There’s just been so much over the past three weeks. How are you doing since he died?ĬLEGG: Rough. Your father (Robert Walton) passed away and we’re sorry to hear about his death. EATON: It seems like a lot has happened over the last year but yet not a lot has happened. ![]()
