Unraveling Secrets: Benjamin Hale on the Mysterious Disappearance That Haunts the Ozarks
All I remember about it at the time was feeling pretty sidelined from the event out in Colorado. Of course, I was terrified for Haley along with the rest of the family, but I had to go to school.

So ironically (because, many years later, I would get very close to this story), my brother(s?) and I were pretty much the only members of our family who didn’t get directly involved with the search.
