It's no secret I'm a huge sucker for Cold Case Files and Forensic Files and any sort of files having to do with murder, mayhem and missing persons. I watch and read because I'm always holding out hope that the good guys will get the bad guys and, hopefully, the victims will get justice. In a few cases, the victims actually get to go home safe to their families. That's why I'm gripped by the story out of Missouri of the two teenage boys who were found after being kidnapped ... one four days earlier and one four YEARS earlier. It reminds me a little of the Elizabeth Smart case, where the little Mormon girl kidnapped from her bedroom one night was found months later under the control of some religious zealot. These kids were taken by force from their daily lives and forced to endure good God only knows what -- and really, I don't want to know -- and now they're back with their families. The boys will be on Oprah today. Smart's a student at BYU. Life goes on...
When you've lost your way, I'm not the person to ask for directions.
