"DETOUR" - a documentary
Multilevel Entertainment is passionate about producing a documentary
entitled "DETOUR" to benefit Families & Friends of Murder Victims, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization since 1995, dedicated to providing information, support, and friendship to persons who have
experienced the death of a loved one through the violent act of murder. This documentary collaborates
with real people and stories from the survivors: the families and friends of the murder victim. Their
journeys from loss to beginning a new life is also told by law makers and enforcers, medical
professionals, and clergy.
Our goal is to create a poignant documentary that highlights the effects of homicide on society and the
necessary coping skills for those who are surviving the loss and grief of their loved one ... now, called
the victim. By raising public awareness, we hope that Families & Friends of Murder Victims, Inc. will
receive the financial support they need to continue their work with survivors throughout Southern
California in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties, and become an international model
program. For more information, visit igg.me/at/ffmvfilm
Submitted by Jane Boufford – Justice for Murdered Victims
I wanted to let you know, we have entered into a new partnership with a L.A. publication, Cuffed and
Wanted. They are publishing stories about unsolved cases in the Los Angeles area. Eventually, they
hope to expand to outlying areas. If you have members with unsolved L.A. crimes, they need to get us
a release form (available on our website) and a good picture. A brief story about the case; detectives to
contact, rewards, etc. Publications come out the 1st and the 15th of the month. We need information by
about the 10 days prior to publication. They are located in Signal Hill and I can easily run information
over to them to make sure that it is the right pixel for their paper.
CAMP GOOD GRIEF (SVP)
Camp Good Grief-Special Victims Program (SVP) is a joint effort between the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office Bureau of Victim Services and Loma Linda University Medical Center Children's Hospital. The 3-day grief camp is geared toward homicide/suicide and is for children ages 10-16 who have experienced a violent death in their family. Campers board a bus at the Ronald McDonald House in Loma Linda and head to Camp Cedar Falls in the San Bernardino Mountains for a three-day camp and grief therapy experience. At camp the children participate in game and team building activities and therapeutic group activities designed to help them learn and understand how to cope with the grief over the violent death of their loved one. This camp has been so successful that it has been expanded to include Camp Good Grief - Special Victims Program Teen Retreat. It will be held annually and provides grief services for teens ages 14-18 who previously participated in Camp Good Grief - SVP and whose lives have been positively impacted by camp. It will be a combination of learning advanced grief management skills as well as a training camp for future Camp Good Grief Peer Counselors. Camp is free of charge to all campers and camperships are funded by unclaimed victim restitution. Therapists and interns from Loma Linda Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic, Loma Linda Child Life Specialists and District Attorney's Office Victim Advocates donate their time to the camp. The Bureau of Victim Services and Loma Linda University Children's Hospital have pledged to continue fundraising activities, presentations to service groups, and outreach events so they may continue hosting future Camp Good Grief-SVP programs.

Cancellation of 2013 Run Walk/Health & Safety Expo
There are times in life where we are provided with certain signs that we just can't ignore! For Crime Survivors, Inc., this is one of those times! We have made the decision to cancel the Crime Survivors Run/Walk Health & Safety Expo that was scheduled for October 12, 2013 and, instead, find a permanent home for our organization. If you are a survivor of crime, we will still be hosting a Survivors Dove Release and Hopeful Healing Day on Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 9:00 AM. We invite you to join us in releasing your victimization, experiencing hopeful healing, and surviving together. A breakfast will be provided, as well as resources, support, and hopeful healing.

A 20yr. old SoCal Gas Co. Meter Reader, Fatally Shot in the Line of Service in Rialto, CA
October is here, my cloud has not arrived, and hopefully it will just pass for this year as Jens anniversary comes this November. It’s so hard to believe it’s been almost 19yrs. This year would have been Jen’s 40th birthday. Our Christmas memorial will be Sunday December 8, 2013, so if you have any suggestions, please contact me, we will be accepting donations, such as toys, gift cards for our annual raffle. Send me your outcome of your court process or status of your case and I will post on our newsletter.
Please update me with any changes to your mailing address, phone, or email, also if your loved ones picture, birthday or anniversary is skipped on newsletter, please let me know ASAP and I will correct. FFMV is excited about the documentary project that highlights the effects of homicide on society and the necessary coping skills for the survivors of the victims. If you are interested in participating, please email me at [email protected]. And I will forward your interest, I will keep you posted. Grief is not healed in a certain time frame. The heart does not work that way...
I continue to pray for the families of the victims and surviving victims for PEACE, HOPE and JUSTICE!
Rose
