Tammy Rief was told she would be safe if she ignored the trafficking of her son. She was told she would be killed if she tried to save him. But Jonah Earl Rief, trafficked into Australia under the phony name of Jonah Sullivan, was her miracle child, stolen from her and in danger himself. Jonah had told the police that the man who wanted to traffic him had sexually molested him. The sexual abuse was backed up by a doctor. There had been an Alabama restraining order protecting Jonah from the trafficker, Brian Sullivan AKA Kevin Sullivan AKA various other names. But when Tammy ignored the warnings and sought help from the State Department, she was not prepared to be grabbed by vigilantes from San Diego, CA, and held prisoner for 91 days without even so much as a reason why. She did not expect to be held in California under a name picked out by people in league with the traffickers to hide her illegal detention. But looking back at all she went through, Tammy would still do what it takes to try to find her son.
Recent information links the abduction of Jonah to the Anthony Kidnman ring. Jonah was trafficked to New South Wales on February 26, 2013, the last day he has been confirmed to have been seen alive. In March, 2013, Sara Francis AKA Sara Frances AKA Denise Glasier AKA Denise Sullivan put naked pictures of Jonah up on her Facebook in what appeared to be an operation to sell an Alabama child (a U.S. citizen) into foreign sexual slavery. Brian and Denise have been seen since but not with Jonah and are believed to have been middlemen in the trafficking sale. The sad part is that, as the Kidman expose has revealed, judges and officials are actively involved in the trafficking operation, which has reportedly involved Satanic sex rituals and murder. Before being taken to Australia, Jonah described rituals to which Brian and Denise had taken him involving men in robes, Jonah and other boys were forced to drink blood. They were hung upside down with ropes and items were stuck up their rectums. The rope burns were present when doctors examined him. Jonah also spoke of being beaten by Denise for refusing to pretend that Brian was his father.
Mary Holmes, who remembers Tammy from her work in the motion picture industry, said that Tammy has the most courage she has ever seen and she prays that the State Department is successful in helping Tammy get her son back.
On October 12, 2014, a second nationwide prayer vigil was held in support of Tammy and Jonah. It was attended nationally by several thousand concerned Americans. Support vigils were also held in Spain and France. Sharon Carlton, one of the organizers, stated, we will continue praying in larger and larger numbers until Jonah is home.
