I appreciate everyone's interest in helping find the murderer. Here's the latest release Lee's mom made in today's local paper.

On June 4, it will be 18 months since hunter Lee Van Luvender of Bartonsville was found slain in Tunkhannock Township.
On the morning of Dec. 4, 2007, another hunter found Van Luvender's body lying in the snow outside his Jeep near Hypsie Gap Road and Tunkhannock Creek. Van Luvender had been shot multiple times.
No one has been arrested and police are still investigating. Using billboards to advertise a $10,000 reward offered for any information and contacting "America's Most Wanted" so far have yielded no results.Van Luvender's mother, Charlene Sebring, doesn't want the public to forget her son, that his family is still waiting for justice and that his 3-year-old son, Sean, is left with just photos of and stories about him.
Sebring said the emotional pain of losing Van Luvender has caused or worsened health problems in her family.
"I'm still just taking it one day at a time," she said. "That's all I can do. It's faith that keeps me going, faith that there will be justice for my son one day."
Sebring recently wrote the following letter, asking to have it publicized:
"This letter is to the person or people who murdered my son, Lee Van Luvender, on Dec. 4, 2007.
You took away his smile, laughter and jokes. He was his sisters' and my best friend. You took him from us. You must do the right thing and turn yourself in. To anyone who knows anything that might help police, please come forward.
To whomever murdered my son, every time you hear a baby cry, see Lee's face on a billboard or hear a gunshot during hunting season, he is haunting you. He will haunt you for the rest of your life unless you turn yourself in. Don't forget, when you look in the mirror, he is right there with you.
The time is coming when you will pay for your crime, in this life or the next. God will give me justice and you will answer to Him. Every time you close your eyes, your loss of sleep is the burden upon your soul.
On this day, May 16, 2009, I give you the burden of all the pain you have caused me and my family. Turn yourself in. Give me and my family closure.
All of us pray for closure and peace in the Poconos."
Rest in peace, my beloved son, Lee."
