Wow such an incredible story. I remember all the media coverage when Rob was originally arrested but had no idea that there was so much more to the story. This Mother's journey from the middle east all the way to Europe sounded harrowing, but she was determined and just kept going. I hope she and her daughters are together and thriving.
As an Australian I hadn't heard of this story before. Thank you for the in-depth storytelling and being honest about the ethical turmoil you and Rob experienced throughout the journey.
If Robs wife left him . He was in prison and he just got back in the last episode. The reporter knocks his door. His dog barks. Who was looking after shmookie the dog when he was away at prison then court in France? Just a thought that popped into my head
