Reny Jose Disappeared March 3rd 2014 Panama City Beach Florida 2014

Reny Jose: Spring break Nightmare

                                    Written by Krush Kent – Guardian Angels Assistant Chapter Commander

 A vicious wind bit at our faces and hands as the Baltimore Guardian Angels walked up the pathway to a grandiose house tucked away in an enclave of upstate New York. Open arms and wholesome smiles greeted us on the other side of the door. Reashma, Reny’s older sister, grabbed us tight, and inquired about our trip. Mrs. Jose’s brown eyes gleamed for a split second as she graciously thanked us for visiting her to tell her son’s story. With a hint of an Indian accent she asked, “Do you want something to eat or drink?” as she placed a tray of delectable cookies on the kitchen table in front of us. An elderly woman sat quietly on the couch in the living room intently watching the melee transpiring in the dining room. She smiled every time our eyes met. “That’s Reny’s grandmother. She does not speak any English, but she knows how to say no, confirmed Mrs. Jose.” We chuckled and waited in raw anticipation to rehash the never ending nightmare that has plagued the Jose family since March 2014.

Mrs. Jose’s smile quickly faded and instantaneously replaced with an insatiable heartbreaking expression that only other mothers of missing children can truly translate.”The police just assumed Reny is in the Panama City Ocean. They never really looked for my son.” Mrs. Jose’s eyes filled with tears as she revealed her frustration with the Panama City police department. “How do you go on Spring break with 22 other people and not one person will talk to me and tell me what happened to him. We spent a month in Panama City passing out fliers and talking to the locals. We learned the police told the locals not to get involved in the disappearance of my son.”

Reashma recounted more disturbing facts as her mother wiped away tears. At the time of Remy’s disappearance, he was a 4.0 mechanical engineering student in his senior year at Rice University. He was recently accepted into Rice’s master’s program and interviewing for jobs. Reny completed most of his upcoming assignments, therefore, the Panama City Spring break trip with his fellow classmates was intended to be a relaxing hiatus from school and the responsibilities that shadow seniors in college. Reny and 22 of his other classmates drove from Rice University in 4 vehicles to Panama City Beach, Florida. Mrs. Jose interjected with text messages from Reny stating he arrived with a tranquil picture of the beach on March 1, 2014.

On March 3, 2014, Mrs. Jose received a phone call from the Panama City Police Department stating her son, Reny Jose, was missing. “I couldn’t believe it. Everything after that was a complete blur.

I can’t tell you how I got home or what happened after that.    My world was never the same after that,” exclaimed Mrs. Jose. The classmate that reported Reny missing informed the police that Reny had been depressed and taken LSD yet told Reny’s mother Reny had not taken any drugs. “This particular kid did all of the talking. Not one other kid on that trip said anything about what happened the night Reny disappeared,” stated Reashma. The next day, majority of the kids on the trip attained legal counsel and fled Panama City Beach Florida never to be heard from again.

Soon, the police found Reny’s clothes and cell phone in a trash can along the beach. The Jose family arrived in Panama City Beach the very next day after they received that phone call. Reashma and her mom found what appeared to be Reny’s pajama’s on the beach as well. They spent about a month there passing out fliers, talking to store owners, bouncers at clubs, and the residents yet they returned home without Reny; instead they returned home with an ambiguous cloud of grief and questions hovering over them. Mrs. Jose stated, “The kids on this trip have graduated and have good jobs, they are in medical school and law school fulfilling their dreams. We want the same for Reny.”

The Jose family created festive holiday cards with family photos, Reny’s smile radiating off the cards. “We sent Reny’s friends these cards hoping they would reach out to us and tell us what happened that night he went missing, but we haven’t heard anything. They continue to avoid us,” confirmed Rasheama.

The Jose family is embarking upon the 1 year anniversary of Reny’s disappearance. They have created a Facebook page for Reny, attended missing persons conferences, reached out to Dateline, and 20/20, and established a walk for Reny with government officials as guest speakers. The Indian community has been a valuable asset to the Jose family during this time, assisting with events and fighting to garner awareness for Reny.

Mrs. Jose shuffled through photos of Reny through the years.  She and Rasheama reminisced about happier times. “He would always take off one sock and leave one sock on! chuckled Mrs. Jose. Mrs. Jose’s slight chuckles echoed into awkward moments of silence. Its painstaking watching a mother marinate in grief over her missing son; a son with an infectious smile on the cusp of reaping the fruits of his hard work and accomplishments. The whereabouts of Reny Jose may be uncertain, but the impervious love the Jose family has for their beloved Reny will certainly inspire families to continue to fight for justice for their missing loved ones.
