that he really cared. While I knew him, over the course of three years there, the one person I felt that he truly loved was his mother. He always talked well about her, and he wanted to work with her and help her in any way possible. I never heard a bad word about her from him.”

    Gabe, however, was always restless. Once he had mastered a challenge, he began looking for greener fields over the horizon. And in 1999, the new horizon for Gabe included a wish to go on a mission for the LDS Church. Part of this was due to his faith, but there was another aspect to Gabe. He started off doing things well, but he either became bored with what he was doing or succumbed to a restlessness that he couldn’t seem to quell.
    By now, Gabe’s mom had married a man named James Anstey, and they lived in Bandon. James and Robin managed an antique store in the area, and it fit in well in the tourist seaside community. Gabe went there to live for a while before heading off on his mission. In the process, he got to know his new stepsister, Isabelle Anstey. She was fourteen and had decided to go live with her dad, Robin and Gabe.
    Isabelle recalled, “When I was fourteen, I had a lot of issues, and Gabe was someone I could talk to. He helped me out a lot. If anybody needed help with anything, he would be there. He was the kind of brother I never had.
    â€œHe was religious, but he didn’t push it on anybody. He was extremely honest, and he didn’t brag about himself. His mom would do anything for him, and he would do anything for her.”
    Before going on his mission to Australia, Gabe flew up to Alaska, where Jesse was serving in the army. Gabe and Jesse were a lot closer than many full-blooded brothers. The two half brothers liked and respected each other to a great degree and wanted to see each other as much as possible.
    Jesse said later, “I knew that Gabe had picked up the Mormon beliefs from Esther Eschler and her family. But it was his choice to become part of the LDS Church. It looked like at the time he was adhering to the tenets of the Mormon faith one hundred percent.”
    Gabe told Jesse how excited he was about going on a mission to Australia. Jesse was happy for Gabe and was sure he would do a good job there. When Gabe put his mind to something, he was very upbeat and enthusiastic. Yet, even Jesse knew that with Gabe, it wasn’t the initiation of projects that mattered. It was if he could follow through.

CHAPTER 8
    Gabe passed all the initial requirements of becoming a missionary for the LDS Church and was assigned to Australia. He was sent to Sydney with a group of other young missionaries. Dr. Terrence Barry and his wife, Matrina Evanoff Barry, were leaders of that group. Dr. Barry was often in contact with Gabe while he was on his mission in Australia. He evaluated Gabe’s progress every month.
    Dr. Barry later recalled, “I was in Australia from 1998 through 2001. I saw two hundred–plus missionaries there during that period of time. I would evaluate these missionaries once a month to evaluate their spirituality and to see if they were adhering to the mission rules. To see how they were feeling—were they happy, not happy, feel like they were doing a good job.
    â€œIt was a very regimented daily routine. They would arise about six-thirty A.M ., initiate their Scripture study and work with their companion. They always stayed within an arm’s breadth of another missionary. Once they completed their Scripture study and prayers, they would go out into the populace to proselytize. They’d approach people on the street, in their homes, wherever it might be. And they would try and spread the Gospel. This would go on until almost nine in the evening. After prayers and Scripture study, they would retire at ten P.M .
    â€œThe missionaries would rotate around in different areas, and some of these were poor areas. Gabriel was in one of these and he spent time in
