I agree, bioemerl and havires. I found a lot of things horrifying in the story -- the greatest horror being that a man would have to dedicate his life to getting justice for his daughter. He used his one and only life to pursue this, to think about it every day for decades, to have this be his purpose in life. Yes, there's the feel-good moment of going outside of the system to get justice, then putting delivery of justice in the hands of the courts, and then getting proper justice, and the clincher of getting forgiveness for kidnapping someone. It's a helluva story. But even with the "happy ending", he still lost his daughter. Lots of mixed emotions in this story, it's been haunting me.
