By then, it was much more than a feeling. I knew that I was being followed. I avoided going to my family's house because I knew they would be there waiting for me.

I was actually worried about my grandmother. It had been a while since I'd last seen her. She was 92 and she was frail. I just wanted to call, you know, check in. I get to the phone booth and I notice a man in line. He's young, slim, and he's wearing a jean jacket. And I see that when his turn comes up, he doesn't end up making a call. So now I'm on alert.

I start heading toward the nearest bus stop where at least there were more people around. First, he follows me to the bus stop. Then I see him inside the bus. I immediately jump off at a random stop, but he also manages to get out. So I turn my head and I see a dark red Ford Falcon and a long gun barrel hanging out from one of the windows. Now I'm running out of ideas.

I run into a nearby store and when I look back I see that three men were following. I try to stay calm and make my way through the meat aisle pretending I'm shopping. There's no back exit so I take off again through the front door. I try to catch a bus that was slowing down and the Ford Falcon speeds up right toward me.

The bus driver, other people try to help, but the men pull out their guns and scare everybody away. The bus also takes off. They tackle me and they tell me they're police. So I start screaming, I'm Miriam Lewin. Please help me.

We had no money to make the trip ourselves, so we hired a stringer, a freelance journalist, and actually, Bruno was a sports commentator.

I mean, we never even dreamed of running into something so valuable. And then the owner of the plane shows him the flight logs that were left inside, untouched. Those logs date back to the late 70s and early 80s, when the military junta was in power. It was all there. Dates, routes, origin, destination, and the most important part, the names of the pilots.
