Miracle In Leather, Why 31 Rowdy Bikers Refused To Stop Searching When The Police Totally Gave Up On My Son

The first week of the disappearance was a whirlwind of blue lights, sirens, and forensic teams. The police searched with an intensity that gave me a flicker of hope. However, by day nine, the atmosphere shifted. The language changed from “when we find him” to “if we find him.” By day twelve, the official search was scaled back to a “maintenance level.” I was told that without new evidence or a ransom demand, there was simply nowhere left to look. I was left sitting in my car at the local gas station, staring at the faded flyers taped to my windows, feeling the crushing weight of being the only person left on earth who still believed Caleb was alive.
