Does the wife know what her husband did to the missing girl? Will the wife support her husband or leave him immediately?
Jennifer Soto is at the police station and unfortunately for her - this is not a book plot.
“Do you recognize your boyfriend’s penis?”
“Yes. That’s him.”

“I believe the sex stuff but I don’t think he did anything evil.”
The investigators pause. What did she just say?
They’re disgusted.
Because the missing girl is Jennifer’s own daughter.
13 year old Madeline Soto.
