Ellis Rachel Harrison are you gonna find Mandy yes we are if you could just have a seat at that little table while I cordon off the area I'll be right with you ladies if I could just ask you to step aside Oh [Applause] what I will be right with you she's not here we looked for hours yes I know that man but she was here for two days and that means she left a print somewhere do you know what she had on her feet just honey it's just tennis shoes you know from the discount store old or new we brought them brand new for the trip and what size were they I don't know yet the sizing is so crazy now she must have missed a chart on dozens Lisa you don't really know that I saw on the bottom of her shoe and she was kicking me did you see anything else on the bottoms something that would help me know that the footprint that I find is hers mm-hmm like those she didn't have them she only had diamonds with squiggles my hair much better Tennys did you see anything else gum gum she stepped in gum oh that's a big help well I see a lot of your straight lines did you like to follow your sister I just like to be with her yeah my little girl is like that with her brother [Music] this was made this morning how do you know this flower here that she stepped on has just begun to dry me and he would never step on a flower she wouldn't even step on ants did she have a flashlight yes did she take it so she left before dawn she stepped on this flower because she didn't see it [Music] okay I'm gonna follow Mandy now they'll be other Rangers and trackers along in a few minutes you could just stay put and show them what I found that would be a big help save it to show the others I'm sorry for all the trouble [Applause] [Music] there's nothing magic or instinctive about tracking people tend to keep going about the speed they have been going you establish their stride you can narrow down where their foot next has to fall all you need is a stick and patience and attention to detail and a willingness to spend a lot of time in the dirt the dirt part was easy I grew up a tomboy on a small farm in Louisiana the patient's part was harder I was born two months early and for a long time I saw no reason to look back the attention to detail that quality was hammered into me I put the lace on myself make some look Freddy it's good one thumb with exactly [Music] you think you're safe now just cuz I'm afraid of the dark Rachel just trying to teach you isn't that what you wanted that's how you said where are you gonna go do daddy said you make your bed you're lying Rachel Rachel charcoal window base go ahead one I've cordoned off campsite 28 and half tracks isolated and marked all the way to the restroom I'm trying to restart them from here I found the girls flashlight on the restroom floor but I have not touched it I don't know if she lost it or if there was a struggle and base their cars going in and out of this campground left and right I'm gonna shut the park down send Vail up in the sheriff's chopper see what he can see I'm heading down to do a perimeter cut on the campground copy Rachel are you okay perimeter cut shouldn't be done by one I could really do some help here now Jennings is sending two Rangers eta 45 minutes base over tracker 1 copy [Applause] you know that's wrong Kevin you said no trouble this is no trouble this is why we came that's all I could get rid of you and take John and find a decent mother god-fearing OD mother now shoot you here I'll go right through no need you say goodbye you won't remember you you know those love poems I wrote the me you fall in love with me I didn't even write them for you and you move again and I'll put a bullet nib or before you take a second step come on move please move [Applause] you're never gonna get out of this place alive anyway tracker 1 it's done come in Don it's tracker wine we got Bureau of Land Management on the North elkwood sheriff's on the South checking all vehicles leaving Rach you weren't here when that baby went missing that was my search we never did find her a piece of her skull turned up two years later please tell me this little girl's still alive I'm doing the perimeter it's gonna take time cutting for sign is the hardest kind of tracking going on nothing but the fact that if someone is not where they were they must have left it and if they left on foot they had to leave tracks by circling the campground the theory goes I had to intersect Mandy's path as she walked away from the campground the trouble is even an obvious print is hard to see when you're coming at it from a 90-degree angle and there's no guarantee a print is going to be obvious and I only get one chance I could walk a mile before I intersect at those few lines with a gum smudge and if I walked right by them or if at that point she stepped on a rock and didn't leave a print at all but only the slightest disturbance may be scattered sand maybe a dislodged pebble and I missed it then from that point on I'd be walking away from her and she'd be somewhere behind me gone and I had done that once before I had missed seeing the right path and now it was too late to find it again [Music] trekker window base I've got fresh prints above campsite 7 and heading due north tell her mom Mandy's here Jerri and Fran should be your location any minute now to take over checking cars he'll report back to base stat we're gonna land he's on the prepare I did leave Kevin finally he'd begun choking me into unconsciousness nightly after a month of that I couldn't talk I could barely breathe my throat was so swollen and I decided if I was going to die I'd rather it be running than in silence in a corner of my own house so I took the kids and ran when Kevin left us alone for 10 minutes we made it to Montana where John and Ruth he learned for the first time that other people didn't think my getting potatoes to brown was reason for a beating for 3 weeks for 3 wonderful weeks don't work too hard now room and board ain't worth that much this isn't work well dang knows those kids don't look like they ever saw a mad before their daddy liked us inside spick-and-span well here I got something they should like [Music] [Music] miss Harrison names Jameson I'm a private investigator what if I might talk to you for a minute we talk we talk with this here that's that's agreeable ma'am your husband hired me to come here to find you he told me you'd been brainwashed that you'd run off with another man I've been driving with him for three days and I know now that that man's dangerous crazy I don't think he's gonna hurt you as long as I'm around but if he should come at you and I'm not in evidence you shoot him ma'am you shoot him dead the P I testified at the custody trial but in Missouri deserting your husband is considered a greater offense than splattering your wife's blood around the kitchen the judge gave Kevin my kids for years I worked three jobs around the clock to make enough money to fight him I fought and I fought but Kevin was a charmer oh yes and in the end I had nothing no custody not even any visitation and on the day the decree became absolutely final when there was nowhere to turn no more ways to try I came to the desert where he had once dumped me as he said because here no one cares about the odd headless body I came to a place that to my pinewoods eyes looked like Hellfire and damnation brought to earth because I couldn't bear thinking about what he was doing to my babies I guess I came here to die come in chopper one we got a couple of copper Lakers up here for you there you are okay there's a flat place below me you okay for me to sit down there yeah that'll be fine oh damn things are hi Rachel Jason skip the rookie it's my kid brother well we appreciate your coming anyway hey journal ins better than sex right so where's the track I just got a good one [Applause] that's good textbook print okay see oh she's got that mark there right there's this dry heel to toe the marquise diamond all of the stuff in there which identify the print when you see it okay got that so I'll take point sure do you ever work this terrain before yeah we had a weekend immersion in the Mojave Jason practically runs Mountain Rescue up at Copper Lake that's after rappelling down a cliff to rescue two yo-yos out of a car if it rolled off the highway this should be easy easy but different why don't you take flank just till you're settled in there'll be lots of time to switch off she's got a five-hour jump on us our eyes are gonna get tired speak to yourself I'm raring to go Jake Jason Jason you're on the track I'll see a single footprint you don't always get prints in this terrain sometimes there's just breakage or shine on a rock like here and there and there see that knew that choppers gonna spot her before we even get started as long as she's found [Music] [Music] she's gonna be dead all this screwing around this is how it's done oh right so if you want your picture on the front page with a corpse do not speak of her like that you think you could do better I know I could do better here and there it's easy see that I don't see anything Jason that's why I'm taking point this should be Prince here let Rachel keep the point what point there's nothing here to see we were looking at broken twigs and pebbles all day we're gonna have to cut a perimeter around what all of this it'll take us hours well then we better get started oh yeah yeah that would be just your style slogging around in this crap in a circle admit it you lost her you've been jerking us around here for hours I have had just about enough from you you are wasting my time so I'm asking you to leave this search come on Jase let's go look all I know is that I've successfully completed over a dozen rescues this year and you Yahoo's are famous for losing the three-year-old girl that was a long time ago and since I became a tracker we haven't lost anybody oh yeah that's not what I heard I'm going back to base skip you coming yeah I'm coming you better go with him he might not find his way back might not be much of a loss I know you've got real troubles I I just don't know how you leave him at home [Music] [Music] down to tracker one Don to tracker one come in Don choppers see anything chopper one to track her one nada you sure she's here she was here done Mandi Ellis was here okay that's enough for me I'll hold off the soldiers just find her based of Dragon 1 come in base 1 got some trackers here from long time I sure could use them I got a perimeter cut on about 3 acres of rock and we're losing light we got an arrow down this search put any trackers you got along the highway to do a cut if they don't see any of our tracks on the soft sand along the shoulder then we got our western edge if she got to the highway don't think someone would have seen her unless that somebody put her in the trunk of their car lord send another team along the old mining road that runs out of the campground between that in the highway we've got a quarter that's about a mile wide and I'm right in the middle she's here she's scared now tracker 1 over based on one base 2 1 go ahead base have an incoming call from crane Davis [Music] patch her through Rachel I can hear you Karine we've made some progress now we know that he drove from the courthouse to that takeout place on 26 but from there apparently he went right to the Costa Verde Airport and then he flew to Vegas from there and my kids Corrine were my kids with him well three tickets were used so I'm saying yes but after that we cannot raise him do you have any idea at all where he might have taken him the desert that's what he always said a lot of territory well we got a point last seen I know a pretty good tracker right that's just what he wants anyway he'd be out there for that little girl who's out there for my kids Corrine me trust me I know what I'm doing yeah well I get a sick feeling in my stomach when I have to say things like that yeah but you say it anyway don't you yes and you bring him back alive every time don't you not every time most times so do I keep the faith Corrine if you find a sign I'm going this time I'm going hi and I don't think he's going to show he said noon he's going on seven Rachel don't shut me out of this please said he was bringing me my kids come on let me take you home you don't want to miss it if he calls kevin had won custody he had my kids but he continued to torment me even after I thought I had no more ways to feel pain and then I met Frank I think we both hoped that he could rescue me from this nightmare instead I dragged him in Kevin I've been out there for three days in a row missing work you want your kids or not yes okay here's what you're gonna go out to the desert you're gonna meet me alone out there show me that you trust me none of your range your friends know no one and believe me I'll be able to see them coming you meet me alone kids we're at dirt road past Darby dry lake and just keep on it I'll be waiting for you somewhere nice anyone comes with you you'll never see your kids again you got it tonight your Darby okay I'm gonna go with you he said no I don't care what he says I know this country he doesn't so you don't know me but I know what your children say about you and I had to warn you he calls you a [ __ ] but calls me the same thing what's this it doesn't matter I've got to try and get away from him whatever you do don't meet him alone in the desert please don't go we should call the police Rachel please can't stop him well I'm not lettin you go out there alone it's not your decision he said that if I don't go I will never see them okay if you do go he's gonna kill him right in front of your eyes Rachel it's you that he wants and he's gonna keep them alive as long as it takes to get you sweetie their best chance is for you to stay away where are you I will not meet you then your kids will always know you didn't love them or want them isn't that right kids you got that bye [Applause] trekker one to base go ahead one I got a track she has changed direction and is now heading well into the mountains tracker team three to tracker one we're on the mining road we've done about a quarter mile so far be aware that the gum wad on her right sole is wearing down rapidly and might not be there by the time you find a track you copy that search page okay [Music] [Music] [Music] based one come in base Rachel I'm pulling you in and once you get somewhere the chopper can find you no Frank I'm staying out it's the only way I can make up time listen you've been out there for almost 14 hours you need some rest Frank don't make me come in ok but tell me where you are exactly I'm just above coyote well not too far from the old mining Road track of team 3 is cutting got it team two finished the highway so I've turned him onto the fire road 3 that's good that gives us northern edge on the search field how do you think she's holding up I don't know she's still stopping to look at Birds well get some rest can i right [Music] [Music] [Music] Taco in debase Frank to copy sorry Rachel Frank's gone to a meeting at HQ this is Rita what can I do for you better tell teams two and three that our little girl has crossed the mining road and has moved outside of our perimeter we gotta build a new box and Rita could you get to headquarters and tell them that we need more trackers temperatures top 200 today she's got to be fried to a crisp now it's cold and we have to worry about hypothermia I'll run right over [Applause] Rachel Rachel they've arrested him the Missouri police found the house that he was staying and they were very careful they didn't want to rush him give him a chance to hurt the children they just waited till he came out and then they were my kids with him kids weren't there Rachel is anyone with you Rachel don't give up hope okay now the police are questioning him whatever they find out I will let you know call me if you need me I'll be here all night please call me now that we know of she just dropped because it's so hard [Music] the desert doesn't heal the pain of losing one's children or even numb it but the desert just doesn't care and so you keep walking your terror passes for courage and somehow in the midst of it you realize that you are surviving and then after that you wonder why [Music] tractor winter base I mean Rachel Rita any word from elkwood she's headed right up Quatro summit look what says their search is narrowing down they hope to have at least six trackers on their way to us by lunchtime lunchtime she'll be dead by lunchtime Mandy Mandy Turki when debase I found the place where she slept last night she wouldn't have left before first light so I can't be more than three hours behind her but Rita can you reach her family for me right outside good can you ask him a question did she have a a Barbie with her oh my dog Rachel is Frank what's up they're all these tracks around where she was lying if she has her Barbie then she has to have her daypack there was food in that and water how much water what size bottle like that what is that 24 ounces how about food and there were three crackers and some of that cheese food that should help don't you think everything's helpful she's still playing with her Barbie you're gonna find her aren't you she's been out there a long time all alone yes we are we're gonna find her I could have told her the truth a human needs a gallon of water a day in this weather that 24 ounces was long gone who was i protecting her or me I was on my hands and knees tracking a Barbie but this Barbie was smart and tough she realized she could follow her own prints backwards Barbie did it and then suddenly Mandy realized she could do the same thing excited Mandy jumped up to try but this mountain was no place for the first lessons of a beginner the only tracks were too subtle to be easily seen and in the snappings of twigs in the circle of Confused scuff marks was written how her hope slowly failed where she sat in despair where she was growing dizzy where she got up and staggered on they say it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved but I think the opposite is true of hope and losing it Mandy had discovered lost hope was worse than no hope she'd begun to die okay it's Rachel leave a message I figured it's time they knew their mother so we're setting out tomorrow let you get him enrolled in schools before September I'm draw up this paper a little custody we'll call again from Dao someplace I got he said he's bringing the kids back they're so big [Music] [Music] Ruthie its mama [Music] Frank Oh fig yeah they're growing like weeds thank you Kevin I figure they can visit me summers holidays I don't want to entirely lose touch whatever you say well I got a long trip back so better get going you gonna say goodbye on the kids [Music] boy sir be nice to your mommy you got it yes sir it's must be Frank nice to meet you Frank finally staying around these parts very long no I want to clear the desert by nightfall I know much lack deserts I'll be seeing y'all wasn't so bad [Music] Oh [Music] I taught myself tracking not long after I came here the head Ranger asked me to there wasn't a single tracker in all of the park and I had nothing else to do I read a book on the basics then I went out into the desert solitary time no distractions no breaks no visiting hundreds of hours of just me out there following whatever tracks I could find as far as I could follow them in all kinds of weather in all kinds of light conditions I followed ants and kangaroo rats little kids old people bighorn sheep coyotes rattlesnakes lizards I followed them to their homes or their watering holes or they're stalking spots I learned to recognize the marks they left on the earth as they passed I stepped on branches and grass memorized the spot and came back 30 days in a row to watch the coloration change as a plant goes through while it's healing there were no words to describe what I saw but I saw it and remembered it come in Dale where the hell are you I'm a half mile east of Quatro summit so a place to land yeah it's pretty flat I lay on the earth and I watched it healing and I wished there was a way my life could be you too oh yeah I see you brought you some help [Applause] hi hi you okay Carine cause she's very worried about you you know what my mama said once she said why don't you just go back to him give us all some peace my cousin was there and she said gee she goes back to him he kills her right off and those sweet little children my mama said well then it'll be in the hands of God I'm bringing in Rachel elkwood search and rescue her here they gonna take over your search now I'm staying out you're bleeding and you're exhausted I think I'm jeopardizing the search I didn't say that but I'm ordering you now to get in the helicopter I don't take orders from men anymore okay I'm begging you please get in the helicopter until she's found and what if you don't find a Rachel it took us two years to find the remains of Sarah Newburgh I got time [Applause] [Music] yeah but tell them to wait up in victory pass I don't want the family to see them I want you to know that I love you very much I love you Frank all right guys should stay just exhausting take care hey Cho hey appreciate your help let's go get her let's go so what do you got she came off the mountain here and headed off that way all of these tracks you figured a couple hours we had some wind beat him up pretty bad she looks pretty beat up too she's all over the place real erratic she's not gonna last much longer they need to cover some ground we ought to jump jump the two flankers go way out and converge about a quarter mile or so ahead of the point man the other one finds a track we all jump you've never done it before no I usually work alone well why don't you stay on point I mean you followed her this far just see it through I'll take the left I became a tracker to be alone I know that now the hours of tramping about the precise observation the demands for intense physical and mental exertion none of them needed another human being and then something happened going to the desert to escape the people I found myself searching for them again in the most literal way imaginable following their tracks but there was always something behind it the hope that one day the tracks I followed would lead me to my own children back home with me safe and unharmed and happy at last we can't come to the phone right now please leave a message okay Christmas I've decided I've decided to get married stupid no need for that Kevin no we've made other plans unmake them Kevin we we haven't been married for seven years now we're we're not family make sure those kids are spotless and do it fast I'm on my way you got it [Applause] John Ruby come on come in here what's the move he hurts you he won't he won't bother with me if you realize the future he will find us Willy nobody brave [Music] cut me there's no detail but it's the right 'stryed toad in right foot yeah alright yeah so this is gonna she's still thinking she's lightening your load she doesn't know she dropped it well you can't know that for sure she might have left the backpack behind in the garbage she would never leave her Barbie she doesn't know it's gone gonna have to take your word on that one okay let's do it again [Music] I was sure there was no question in my mind if we could know when we were about to lose what we most loved we wouldn't do it we would die before we let it slip to our hands [Applause] [Music] grandma's wasn't so bad good it's a strange place for that corner why don't you guys just get down in your seats [Music] Oh stay down guys I'm sorry help I need help my ex-husband is trying to kill us where is he at my house have you got a restraining order man how restraining order wouldn't work you need to talk to a judge first door on the left [Music] Kevin no although the courts had failed me before I tried once again to ask for protection and this time the judge believed me entirely believed that Kevin had abused us but he also thought the kids should know their biological father he gave Kevin eight hours unsupervised time with John and Ruthie and that was the last time I saw them that's no place first news chopper one to add rachel's down she needs some help she's in a wash just south of your position better check her out I'm okay I'm okay I can't land there get to someplace flat it's ok chopper 1 I'm winter I'll let you know if we need you Thanks good let's find some shape you're lucky I make house calls any vomiting no cramps yeah I've been drinking straight water all this time I have some banana chips yeah but you haven't been eating it here this tastes foul but it will boost your electrolytes out here at ten o'clock copy oh she couldn't make it that far we don't have foot prints now she's crawling all right all right I need to check it out call the chopper down okay she's here [Music] Mandy Mandy day Mandy [Music] [Music] [Music] yes [Music] [Music] [Applause] yeah I don't know how to thank you it's my job [Applause] hey girl next time we do the whole hike together be brave Mandy [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] tracking means learning to walk alongside other people caring enough to reach out with no guarantees you'll ever meet with no guarantees they'll live or die despite your best efforts tracking means being willing to try above all to me tracking means sitting quietly and watching my own existence trying to understand the significance of the tracks each of us leaves behind as we move through life facing memories and fears head-on facing the end of hope and somehow continuing past it learning in short to walk alongside myself tracking brings more than the lost child hi hi okay one stitch Rogers big on overkill well at least he got you to slow down how's Mandy she's badly sunburned but I don't think there'll be any permanent damage their spirits better than her body she can't wait to get out there again so it should tell you why she left the camp she went to the restroom and she took off after a bunny then she followed a lizard and she saw a flower and she saw a bird and then she realized and I quote her parents were lost so much to disabuse her of that notion I know I did I did the whole ranger drill yeah me too that's have I've been doing about five different languages seems like every time I turn around so much sticking a microphone in my face I do like a half hour for Japanese television I just looked at it and they've cut it down to one sentence if you realize that you're lost you should just sit I'm sitting Korean called yeah just on her way to Missouri Kevin's cousin says that he knows where Kevin put the kids alive or dead I'll just be guessing I don't know five hours ago what if she tried to call and it would have been impossible this place has been a zoo when you're out there you have to see the bad signs as well as the good sign or you're not seeing the truth right your cup you don't know take me home Frank don't [Music] you sure you want to be doing this now Rachel would you like some help [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] right here is Rachel here yes she is she's inside ah thank goodness oh you must be Karine I'm Frank hi yes headquarters search camp the hospital and now here you people check your machine today it's been a little bit of wake up you're home [Music] [Music] well I gotta go [Applause] thanks again we all like happy endings I used to think if I would only tell and remember the good times perhaps I could draw more of them to us it doesn't work that way Kevin got out on bail our house was broken into 16 times in the six weeks before his trial felony kidnapping charges were reduced to a misdemeanor if he promised to leave us alone and he did the three of us haven't seen him in years but he continues to haunt us our phone rings at 4:30 in the morning and no one's there we've changed our names our addresses our phone numbers so many times we've given up trying most recently the phone started ringing only when Ruthie is home alone nonetheless we have learned to walk on anyway putting one foot in front of the other for as long as it takes counting on things working out all right for all of us it's a trackers brand of hope on a trail that in the end we all walk each of our lives representing an unbroken chain and stretching back to the beginning of time each of our tracks embedded in a web that stretches to Eternity none of us walks alone [Music] you [Music]
