"Josh and I had contact with the family. When they learned about the things we had done to try identify [their child], it really touched them in a significant way, and their reaction really touched us in a significant way. After having several hours on a drive, I started putting it together and thinking, wow, we’re doing this wrong…how do we put victims first and create more of a victim centric methodology versus an offender centric methodology?”.
