Eric Volz: Free At Last!
Proving that prayers are answered and miracles do happen, Eric Volz, the Sacramento-born surfer and entrepreneur who was wrongly imprisoned in Nicaraqua 13 months ago for the rape and murder of his former girlfriend, is finally free and back with his family and friends on American soil. It’s a great way to start the new year!
Eric had a small army of supporters, many of whom regularly read this blog and wrote letters, sent emails and donated money toward Eric’s defense. His mother, especially, worked tirelessly to regain his freedom. Thanks to her efforts, Eric was never forgotten. And, thanks to the faith and support of those who believed in Eric’s innocence, Eric is home. A miracle? You bet!
If you’re unfamiliar with Eric’s story, please take a few minutes to read my earlier posts here, here, and here. And here’s an email address for Eric (via Friends of Eric Volz). Why not send him a “Welcome Home”. I’m sure he’d appreciate it.

Doug, you must be very happy about this. I know how passionate you were about righting the injustice and helping bring Eric home. I am certain your efforts and those of his "small army" helped.
Prayers really are answered and miracles really do happen.
Great news! I was one of your recruited donors and barraged my "elected officials" (don't know that they did much but maybe behind the scene) with emails. I kept thinking, "this could happen to any of us" and I couldn't put it out of my mind. It goes to show you that persistence pays off.
Good news for sure!! Glad we could help!!
Wonderful news!! We are so glad that we were able to be a part of helping free this innocent young man and right such an injustice! Thanks for involving us!
Great way to start the new year!! Persistence pays!!
That is good news, Doug!! Guess our little bit helped.
Wonderful. It is a classic example of how people of like mind can, with determination, accomplish great things. We are glad we were able to help this young man regain his freedom.
God bless America!
A bitch that he has to live in fear of a hit squad or the Nicaraguan government re-trying him in his absence. What if they convict him again? He would have to stay in hiding? Sucks!!
