Evan Loken asked Jeff Hobbs:

Hi Jeff, I just finished The Short And Tragic Life of Robert Peace, and I must applaud you as it was a fantastic read, made me stop and think often about Robert, and those in a similar situation to him. My question is this: is there any update on Robert's case? Has the case gone cold or has it been looked into since publication? Additionally, do you have any updates on Jackie, the Burger Boyz, and other characters?

Jeff Hobbs Hello and thank you for reading and reaching out. It means a lot, for real. And I'm sorry for the years-long delay in responding to this--I really don't spend time on social websites but am trying to be better as my next book, Show Them You're Good, comes out in August. But it's kind of you to ask after Jackie and everyone. They are all doing pretty well--still very sad, particularly around this time of year (Rob's birthday was yesterday). But carrying on, working, raising families, wondering what Rob would be doing if he were still with us. Jackie retired a few years ago but still works part time and also helps with food in the school district. Wishing you all the best, sincerely, Jeff
