There is no where you could have hidden

You couldn't go under ground to hide from a heinous act which was forbidden

You could not erase the deed that you had done, which was crime ridden

I Will Leave No Stone Unturned Until I Find You

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You took the precious life of my son

There is no where you could have run

You thought that you had won

I Will Leave No Stone Unturned Until I Find You

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your twelve bullets took his heart beat

You left him dead in his drivers car seat

I am the devil in disguise you'll never meet

I Will Leave No Stone Unturned Until I Find You

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hung flyers far and wide

There was no place that you could hide

Time wasn't on your side

I Will Leave No Stone Unturned Until I Find You

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You went to relatives in Douglas Arizona to no avail

But I was always on your trail

From Atlanta to Philadelphia, you were destined to fail

I Will Leave No Stone Unturned Until I Find You

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Find You I Did............................

Anthony E McDonald was wanted for the first degree murder of my son, and was found dead in Silver Lake in Dover Delaware shortly before Thanksgiving on November 2017.

I had pursued him for 2 years and 10 months, - Leaving No Stone Unturned Until I Found Him.

Justice was served for Richard L Jacobs Jr.

Today, March 27, 2026, at 11:20 pm, it will be 11 years since a gunman took his life.

Please Stop The Violence in Memory of my son, Richard L Jacobs Jr.

You Can't Say It Any Plainer Than That!!!!
