Episode notes
It was the first day of Thanksgiving break. Michaela Garecht, 9, went to the store for candy. A car door opened. A man grabbed her. For 32 years there were no answers — just a yellow ribbon and a mom’s blog. Then modern tech found a print on the scooter frame. Now the man who took her is in jail. But we still don’t know where Michaela is.
