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
there 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.

I attended JHV Memorial in April, guest Speaker Frank Girardot, editor of the Pasadena Star News and senior editor of the
San Gabriel Valley Tribune Group announced that he would to publish pictures and information regarding unsolved homicide
cases on the newspaper website. Many families that I know personally have UNSOLVED cases which have turned to COLD
cases…Everyone deserves JUSTICE
If your loved one was murdered in the greater Southern California area and the case is unsolved, Frank will get it published
in the newspaper.
You can check out the Cold Case Project by going to www.PasadenaStarNews.com/coldcases. The paper also has the project

This is a response Frank gave me when I e-mailed him about this project:
Hi Rose,
If I get a photo from a loved one I will post it on our website as soon as I can. Anyone who is interested can contact me and I
promise to get them set up.
Sincerely,
Frank Girardot
911 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91106, 626-578-6300 ext.4478 frank.girardot@sgvn.com
Here is some basic information Frank needs when you send him a picture of your loved one: Your full name, address,
phone(s), e-mail address, Victims Full Name and age at time of murder, Victims DOB-DOD, your relationship to victim, city
where murder took place, any suspects arrested?, Detective’s name & phone, & short bio on how your loved one was
