Chapter 9

The next morning, what happened was what Davis was hoping to avoid – the press got involved.

The entire local press had something written about the missing child and the ongoing police investigation. Most of the papers were happy to simply state the facts, but there were also those who had done some research and others that had a few theories on their own.

All the papers omitted the name of the boy, but the descriptions of the family and of what had happened were quite accurate. Davis suspected that someone who knew all about the case had called the papers to share the news. He hated it when something like this happened, especially during cases like this one. There was still so much to find out, and here were the reporters accusing the police of doing nothing.

Davis was mentioned as the detective assigned to the case. His previous work was described as excellent, but there were a few comments about his inability to find the boy after almost one week.

One of the papers even mentioned the van and the blood found in the house. All those details were known only by few, and it was unnerving to see them printed out for everyone to see. What was worse, there were hundreds of theories about what had actually happened – from human trafficking to illegal adoptions.

From eight in the morning, all police lines were busy with reporters asking questions and people claiming to have seen the boy. One of the tabloids even accused the father of killing the boy and disposing of the body. That article was also the turning point for everyone. Up until now, no one considered a similar possibility, and Davis was sorry to see the family accused in such a way.

Wood called to tell the detective about the reaction of Thomas’ parents. The father was angry and offended, while the mother was crying constantly in her bedroom. The grandparents were the only ones seeing the situation as it was, and they were searching for lawyers to defend the family from the reporters.

Jake Harrison was described as an abusive and angry father, who punished his son on more than one occasion. It was all a lie, but at this point Davis knew that there was no point in getting into it with the press. The captain of the precinct made an appearance in front of the press, declaring that there were still too many questions to be answered before making any accusation.

He expressed his pain and empathy for the boy’s family, and asked the kidnappers to return the boy. The reporters asked hundreds of questions, but, fortunately, the captain knew how to silence them. “Up until now there have been no reasons for us to believe that Mr. Harrison is involved in any way in the disappearance of his son, Thomas. I personally believe that we will be able to find the real criminals and return the boy safely to his family.”

Detective Davis called Mr. Harrison later that same day, and asked him if he knew the person who gave the information to the papers.
