Red Thread
Caleb: 我觉得这个案件最令人难过的是，我记得我八岁的时候也经常四处骑车，无忧无虑。但他们的童年却被残酷地剥夺了。我记得小时候每天都和朋友们一起骑自行车出去玩。那种无忧无虑的时光真的让人怀念。
Isaiah: 我觉得这个案件发生在阿肯色州，那里的犯罪率很高，而且孩子们失踪的时候天色已晚，这让我感到非常震惊。如果我的孩子晚上7点还没回家，我会非常担心。我无法想象90年代的生活，没有手机，没有办法随时联系到孩子。如果有人不接电话，我就会觉得他们已经死了。这种想法太可怕了。
Jackson: 我觉得Robin Hood Hills这个名字听起来很无辜，但实际上却发生了如此可怕的事情。而且，秋天骑自行车，看着树叶落下，这是一种非常美好的体验。我来自弗吉尼亚州的Front Royal，那里以秋天的景色而闻名。人们从四面八方赶来欣赏树叶的变化。阅读这个关于孩子的故事，很容易把自己放在他们的位置上，这让人感到非常难过。
