Here’s a present for you.” Adams had barely gotten through the door of GraBois’s office the following day before handing GraBois a picture. It was the photograph of the older boy who’d been on the bus the day Ramos had been discovered with the younger Taylor brother.

Joanee Freedom had seen that photo sometime after the ’86 Pennsylvania Gathering where Ramos was thrown out, and she’d realized right away Ramos had a long history with this boy. She knew him as P.J. and had first seen him at the Michigan Gathering with Ramos in 1983. When Ramos had left the Gathering so precipitously, P.J. hadn’t gone with him, and as the Gathering had wound down, Ramos’s friend Saxophone Sonny had come to Joanee with P.J. in tow to ask her for a ride back to New York.

“I need to take this kid home to Ohio on the way,” Sonny had told her. “Ramos and I brought him, but since he’s gone, I’ve got to get P.J. back myself.” So Joanee and Garrick Beck had dropped Sonny and P.J. at an exit on the Ohio Turnpike. Riding six hundred miles together between Michigan and Ohio had given Joanee enough time to remember a face, and when she’d seen the age-enhanced composite of Etan Patz in the investigators’ office the day before, she’d been struck by the resemblance to P.J., the teenager on Ramos’s bus. Now GraBois was, too.

“You just never know,” said Adams. “See what comes of this.”

He also told GraBois they had all conferred.

“You looked us in the eye when you talked to us,” Adams said. “I appreciate that. We feel a good vibration here, and think we can work together. But we’ve gotten screwed before, and if at any point we think that’s what you’re doing, we will walk.”

“That sounds fair,” GraBois said. “I really don’t foresee any problem. I’m going to pursue this case as far as it goes.” He had no intention of backing out, especially since he’d already given his word to someone else.
