Hi Arthur,
Yes actually I did apologize and thank everyone involved while on Costa Rican National Television with the authorities present, particularly the OIJ, the investigative arm of the government, in May 2016 before the show aired.

What is not really made clear is that the whole town accused Pata Lora -- not me. Moreover Pata Lora accused the Guicho family, not me. The town, the private investigators, and the televison shows producers convinced me to pursue the accusations. They were the experts. I always had my doubts, but it's not always possible to believe in our own convictions when everyone else says that you are mistaken.

My beef was with the leader of the Red Cross team who said that our son had never entered the forest. Unfortunately, what you see on "reality TV", even when couched as "documentary", is not real.
