Some diapers here and there and slowly and slowly we walk down down slope of the crash.

And about 100 yards here and 100 yards there.

I'm still picking up traces of of of human.

Till I come to the bottom of the ravine where it's just completely muddy.

All signs stop.

My partner had to go back to the crash site to meet the search and rescue people that were on their way up.

And here I was alone in the forest and somewhere in Montana.

Not knowing what differences I make.

Not knowing why.

But I do know one thing.

I'm looking for the body of a baby.

And it breaks my heart.

I'm a father of three.

I have three beautiful little girls.

I kneel down and I just pray to God, God, please help me find this baby tonight.

Help me find this baby so that nobody else has to.

so that nobody else has to deal with the things that I'm about to see.

I continue my search.

A short time later, I find the suspect's pants in an easterly downslope direction from the crash, and then I find a car seat, and the car seat's empty.

My portable radio had died.
