Eben Hammond – Someone Knows Something

Oakhurst–Someone knows where you are.

It’s time to come forward, to take responsibility for the life you ended, for the life you abandoned on the ground as you sped off.  It’s been 178 days since Eben Hammond died.

The life you stole from Eben’s family, friends, community.

If you know who this person is (or even have a suspicion because of unusual behavior around July 7 and after), you can do the right thing and come forward.

If a sense of integrity isn’t enough for you to do that, there is a reward. You don’t even have to give a name when you call Crimestoppers at 559/498-STOP. You really don’t have to talk to anyone. Just submit the tip via the web link.

CALL CRIMESTOPPERS AT 559/498-STOP (7867)

Or you can call our local California Highway Patrol office at 559/658-6590 and ask for Officer Finfrock.

No amount of money will ever bring Eben back to his loved ones, but you–whoever you are–will have to live with this event on your conscience until you come forward.

We–Eben’s friends, family and community–are not going away. We will keep hounding you until you come forward or someone does the honorable deed of giving you up.

In the words of another great man the world just lost,

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”

–Desmond Tutu, 1931-2021

 

That “little bit” of good would mean the world to Eben’s family.

Judi Hussain escaped from the big city to the wilds of eastern Madera County over thirty years ago. During her time here she’s worked at selling doors and windows, coordinated Road Scholar adventures at a local conference center and served as visitor center coordinator for Visit Yosemite Madera County. After the COVID shutdown upended her world, she "enjoyed" her first retirement months ever and couldn't wait to get back to work. When offered a position in January 2021 as the chamber administrator for Oakhurst Area Chamber of Commerce, she grabbed it and held on tight. Her diverse passions include hiking, beading, dog mushing (observer, not participant), travel, writing and languages. The shutdown offered an opportunity to expand on her journeys to Israel in 2016 and 2018, and she’s now studying Hebrew in preparation for a return to the land she uexpectedly grew to love. She’s investigating other travel prospects, as well, targeted toward the end of 2022.
