Jory’s return was a miracle.
But it was not the end.
Because Tobin and Ned were still missing.
Jory told investigators everything he remembered.
He described the lodge.
The men.
The vehicles.
And the last time he’d seen his brothers.
He remembered Tobin crying.
Ned holding his hand.
And Roscoe telling them to be brave.
Then the boys had been separated.
Jory had spent years believing his brothers were dead.
He had also believed I was dead.
The men had told him our entire family had been killed.
They used that lie to control him.
When he learned Clara, Willa, and Maisie were alive, he broke down.
He asked to see them again.
Again and again.
As though he couldn’t believe they were real.
The investigation continued.
Jory’s testimony helped identify additional members of the network.
Several arrests followed.
Financial records led investigators to another location.
A rural property where people had been forced to work under threats.
