~The Dilliers are a homeschooling family here in my area. The suspected abduction took place in Dallas.~

***update #3-

First and foremost, the family wants to make it clear that there was NO SCREAM heard by a neighbor and “foul play” is NOT suspected at this time.

Secondly, Luke was wearing a polo shirt that is dark green and dark blue striped. His pants were a dark brown khaki and his eyes are brown.

**another update-
New details! Luke was with his mother and brother Justin at JUSTIN’S violin lesson. He asked for the car keys to go back out to the car to get something and never returned. The car was, apparently, never opened. On the way TO the violin lesson, he was asking his mom and brother how far away the new Lego store was from the violin teacher’s house. Also, the dogs trailed Luke nearly three miles to Spring Valley and Coit, so it was QUITE a distance before the trail ended. There are numerous bus lines in the area as well.

Luke is a seasoned Boy Scout. He had no provisions with him. He was wearing a striped polo shirt (still waiting to hear the colors) with khaki dockers and a beaded bracelet. More information as it becomes available.

The Dallas Morning News will be running a story about this on Sunday. I’ll post a link to the story when it becomes available.

Many questions have been asked if he ran away. The family is not ruling that out, but they have no reason to believe that he was in that frame of mind. Either way, a precious and innocent 15-year-old homeschooled lad is in trouble and missing from his family and needs our help and our prayers. Please post his picture everyone and please continue praying!

*updated info-
There were no signs of violence. Police search dogs lost the trail after a short distance; they believe he got into a car. Why or under what circumstances is unknown. The location was in North Dallas (not near their home, they were at a music lesson) and the time was early morning (around 8:30). An Amber Alert was not issued. Luke's case did not "fit the criteria."

6'4", 200 pound and 15-year-old Luke Dillier is missing and foul play is suspected. A search party is meeting at 7:30 AM on Saturday June 25 to search for him at the area he was first missing, 635/Coit. More info can be followed on the Facebook group dedicated to the purpose.

Luke went to his violin lesson on Friday July 24, 2009 around 9 AM in the area of Coit and 635. He had forgotten something in his van and left the instructor's house to go out and retrieve it. He never returned. When he was questioned, a neighbor of the violin instructor recalled hearing a scream at about the same time Luke was outside the house.

Police and family believe he might have been abducted. They had search dogs and a helicopter out looking for him but to my knowledge currently have no leads.

If anyone has any info about his whereabouts, knows of any suspicious activity in the area, or has any other information, please immediately call the police and relay the info and please keep Luke and his family in your prayers.

As of last night his family had not contacted radio or tv outlets.

Here is a link to his picture. It breaks my heart.



~DH just left to meet up with the volunteer search party. Many many prayers are needed. My heart is aching for this family.
