Although police wrote in April 2021 court documents they were investigating Ethan Beckman for murder, it has taken until this month for him to be formally charged with the crime.
“He could walk into a room, and that big smile that he has could light up a room,” she said Sunday, as her voice began to crack. “And that is what I miss.”
On Mar. 2 - two years after Dubois disappeared - a Guadalupe County grand jury indicted Beckman for murder and evidence tampering or fabrication. Beckman has already been in the Guadalupe County jail for nearly two years. Shortly after Dubois’ disappearance, police found blood in Beckman’s his car, along with a spent round in the passenger side pillar.
Jacob had planned to go to college, she said, and the ring he had ordered to propose to his girlfriend arrived a week after he disappeared.“I hope he finds a way to, you know, find his higher being - if, you know, if I can say it like that - find salvation to help rescue him. Because even though he took my Jacob, he’s still somebody’s child,” Dubois said.
