Desperate for a logical explanation, Marietta and Bill are asking Heidi if there was anything inside the tent that
00:00:06
Susie could have used to cut the hole herself, but of course, there wasn't. And right away, Marietta knows in her
00:00:13
heart of hearts that someone has her daughter. She just hopes that they haven't gotten too far.
00:00:20
Using flashlights, they all start searching for Susie around the campground, even waking neighboring
00:00:26
campers, but there is no sign of Susie. So, Susie's dad and grandpa drive to the
00:00:31
closest town to alert police. The Gallatin County Sheriff's Office and FBI Special Agent Pete Dunbar out of the
00:00:37
nearby Bozeman, Montana office rush to the campground, and right away, they see what Marietta sees. They search every
00:00:44
car and building and question all the campers. A volunteer search party forms to help look for Susie, and as the crowd
00:00:51
of helpful people begins to grow, the Yager family overhears something that must have made them even more worried
00:00:58
for their little girl. One of the volunteers is talking to another one about the other child that was attacked
00:01:06
at that very campground while asleep in his tent just a few years prior. So, Marietta goes right to law
00:01:12
enforcement and asks them about this, like what are what are they talking about? And they confirm this is true.
00:01:18
Five years before, in May 1968, 12-year-old Michael Raney was stabbed in his tent at that same state park. He'd
00:01:26
been on a Boy Scout trip and was sleeping right next to another kid. That case was never solved, and now this
00:01:33
seems like way more than just a coincidence that Susie went missing from the same place.
00:01:39
So, finding her might mean actually solving two cases and preventing more, which makes the stakes all that much
00:01:46
higher.
