Unraveling Secrets: Benjamin Hale on the Mysterious Disappearance That Haunts the Ozarks
My parents felt awful about being too far away to just drop everything and go help with the search; they went to work that Monday, and in my memory, they got in the car and took off for Arkansas Monday night, and left me in charge of my two younger brothers (I would often look after them). My mother recently read the book, and told me that they actually left on Tuesday morning, and that they took my youngest brother, who would have been four years old, with them — I don’t remember it that way, but memory is fallible (and so is hers); now I’m not sure which of us is wrong. Also, Haley was found late in the day on Tuesday, so my parents just turned around and came right back.
