The president of Mad Dads, Donald Foy, says it doesnt suprise him.
"We are not stepping up to the plate as a community, breaking the code of silence and telling what we know."
Foy says most people dont realize how serious the crime is until tragedy strikes their family. Still, he says Mad dads will continue to knock on doors, ask people to share what they know and raise awareness in the community to help fight crime.
