I felt really touched by the movie. I lost my son at a similar age under tragic circumstances and the what happened to your child really touch my heart and I did a prayer to God to give him peace and to merge him with God. I don\'t know why this tragedy had to happen, but I know that he is with God and belongs to God and will find everlasting peace with God.

Hi
My husband and I recently watched Alpha Dog. I had seen it before in the past but this time it really spoke to me. I couldn’t believe the events that happend. I started researching it on the internet and I found out their was a book about it. I ordered the book from Amazon and read it in 2 days. It’s still so hard to imagine the horrific details that your family has gone through. I can feel the love you have for Nick in your book. I think you are so strong. Your a survivor and I pray that every day you find more comfort and peace . May God bless you every day. I know only he is the one that got you through this. Thank you for sharing your story.
Your son’s story touched my life and I won’t forget him either.

Alpha Dog movie vs True Story

This is yet another sad story where young children failed to listen to advice of older people. I myself wished I listened to my mom more.

RIP Nicholas. My last born child Jude has your first name as his middle name. . peace and love

Originally West Hills, CA

I attended Hale Middle School with Nicholas and was his friend in school. I was walking home from Hale and was actually robbed by Hoyt a short time before Nicholas went missing up on Platt Ave by the Taco Bell. LAPD responded and took a report with him as a suspect, I dont believe anything ever happened there.

I was in my 30s before I put all of the associations together. I had the pleasure of knowing him.

I recently only learned of this tragedy by watching the film alpha dog...it broke my heart. Your son was so young and innocent and didn\'t deserve to be murdered in such a horrific way. Nothing we can say or do will ever make up for your loss...but the memory of your son will continue forever thanks to our technology today (internet, tv). The story of his life and death will go on touching the lives of everyone willing to listen. May God have mercy on you and your family.

I googled this after seeing a segment on unsolved mysteries

It broke my soul when I found out about your loss, Mrs. Markowitz. God takes the good ones. May the soul of Nicholas rest in peace.

From your book \"My Stolen Son\"

I am sorry that your son was taken from you by such heartless young men. It\'s hard to imagine that boys that young can be so deliberately cruel. I am glad that your family survived the trauma and that time rekindled your desire to live. I know that you had a hard fight. It\'s nice to see that people are still seeing the movie or, as in my case, reading your book and keeping Nick\'s memory alive.
