About this listen

 On October 6, 2002, 11-year-old Shawn Hornbeck asked his mom if he could go bike riding in his hometown of Richwoods, Missouri. His mom said yes, because Shawn had ridden his bike alone hundreds of times before. She told him to be home by dinner. But, when he wasn't, and it got dark out, the Hornbecks were extremely worried. Shawn was always home for dinner and was deathly afraid of the dark. Turned out it was something much worse than the dark. Shawn had been kidnapped just a mile from his home.
Years went by and there was no trace of Shawn. Until January of 2007, almost 5 years later, another boy named Ben Ownby disappeared after he got off the school bus and never made it home in Beuford, Missouri. That set off a chain of events in which an exceptional 15-year-old eyewitness, a pizza restaurant owner and the FBI would do something remarkable. Something still referred to as "The Missouri Miracle."
