Description

In May 1980, Mary Stauffer was a happily married mother-of-two, living in Minnesota. She and her family were about to make a big move to the Philippines, where Mary and her husband had previously worked as Christian missionaries. In the lead up to their departure, Mary took her eight-year-old daughter Beth for a haircut at a local beauty salon.

Poor Jason n his parents esp cuz he had nothing to do w/Mary... It's easy 4 me to say, but I wish Mary alerted the cop car initially by honking, ramming, or w/e, then Jason would be alive. Imo, it's incomparably better to risk n accept the known consequence (get shot by Ming in this case) than go along to the unknown...

Jason's mother's statement has broken my heart. You can feel a small amount of her pain. Just devastating.

It is evident that each episode represents so much research and work, as well as being organized and preformed clearly and with respect. Thank you for including the quote from Jason's mother describing the heart wrenching account of her sons abduction.
