On December 23rd, 2025, Mr. Stoner received a call from #LawEnforcement asking if he was ready to travel.
Madeline Daly had been located in #NewMexico.
Mr. Stoner sat by the phone waiting for the news he had been hoping to hear for months: that his son was safe and he would be able to celebrate Christmas with him.
Instead of being able to spend Christmas with his son, Jake heard the words that will haunt him forever.
Madeline Daly had barricaded herself at an RV Park in New Mexico.
Instead of turning her son over to law enforcement and being peacefully #arrested, she shot Basil and #killed him.
Stoner believes that if laws are changed to allow for #AmberAlerts to be issued with less #stringent standards, his son would be alive and safe today.
