Katherine I really enjoy this but I never heard of it before and I am confused about something. Is this Jacob Wetterline one of the boys? And did he get taken by the masked men? why are they still looking for him? Congrats on a very interesting story.

Dear Katherine, the story of this missing boy touched my heart. If it hadn't been for the misspelling of "shed," it would have ranked higher. Congratulations on your success in the contest! I hope one day they find Jacob. Love, Carolyn
