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.

To see a photo of Ross with his family and his medals, visit our website, themoth.org.

After our break, a woman comes out of hiding and a Beatles fan falls in love.

When the Moth Radio Hour continues...

This is the Moth Radio Hour.

I'm Sarah Austin Janess.

This is an hour all about what you may find after loss.

Our next story is from Christine Gentry.

She told us at a Moth Grand Slam in Boston where we partner with WBUR and PRX.

Here's Christine live at the Moth.

That was Christine Gentry.

Christine taught English, creative writing, and storytelling in the public schools of Boston and New York City for 13 years.
