In this episode, lost and found stories.
Heirlooms lost, old ways of life gone, and what is found in their stead.
Our curatorial producer, Suzanne Rust, found out about our first storyteller, Ross Jessup, through an article in a local Missoula, Montana newspaper, and she reached out.
Ross later told us, I thought it was a scam, and so did my lieutenant.
I told my wife about it, and she said, the moth?
It's not a scam.
Call them.
I listen all the time.
So we begin this episode lost in the woods of Lolo National Forest in Missoula, Montana, with Ross Jessup, a cop, 10 years into the police force.
He came to New York to tell his story outside in Greenwood Cemetery, so you may hear the occasional airplane.
We partner with the Greenwood Historic Fund.
And just a note, this story involves a crime, and there is some intensity.
Here's Ross Jessup, live at the Moth.
That was Ross Jessop.
Ross is still a cop in Missoula, Montana, and a canine handler for Missoula County.
And he's recently received the Department of Justice Attorney General's Award and the Charles Budd Meeks Award for Deputy Sheriff of the Year.
Ross and the baby were both lost and found and I asked Ross if all these years later he's still questioning everything or if this memory pulls him through the tough days.
He said, some days are hard and I still have PTSD.
This particular experience has changed me.
Sometimes it haunts me, revealing the evil we face from time to time and other times it shows me that we can all make a difference by acting together.
