Just An Average Day
In New South Wales, Australia, it began just like any other day. Tony Lethbridge lived in a small town called Lake Macquarie with his 17-year-old son, Samuel, so they spent most of their time in Sydney, eight miles away. Samuel decided to go to a party in Sydney, and never expected his life to be put at risk.
Something Was Off
At the end of the night, Tony did not hear a single word from his son, so he knew something was up. Sometimes teenagers forget to tell their parents that they got home safely after a big night, but that’s not necessarily typical of Samuel. Samuel could quickly have just fallen asleep with a friend or forgotten to charge his phone, but he couldn’t help but feel like something was wrong. Tony anticipated the possible scenarios.
