“Come quickly because I’m afraid.”--

On September 20th, 2013 9 yo Andrew Hockensmith frantically calls 911 from the back room of his parents' pawnshop, where an armed gunman has just stormed in. In spite of the danger, the boy only cares about saving his baby sister and urges the dispatcher to hurry and send help.

Just 6 minutes later, police enter the pawn shop and are horrified to find 3 bodies. They soon determine that this triple homicide is no simple robbery gone wrong--instead, a shocking narrative is uncovered, involving betrayal, pawn shop gold, and a supposedly beloved pastor.

When 47 year old Ed Smart appeared on national TV pleading for the return of his 14 year old daughter, John took the weight of the investigation through America’s Most Wanted. This is what you haven’t seen on the show.

“Am I scaring you little girl?”-- 8-year-old Jennifer is scared of the dark, and on the one night her mother asks her to sleep in her own room, she wakes up in the arms of a police officer carrying her out of the house in the middle of the night. The man wants her to believe that she is safe, but she realizes he doesn't have a badge as he drives off to a remote area.
