But I couldn't put into words why I was feeling what I was feeling.

Looking back now, all of it makes sense.

But since the memories were repressed, there was nothing coming up like, oh, this is why I'm feeling depressed.

However, the police, unlike what they do for Mary, which they just tell Mary, hey, your memories mean nothing and it's past the statute of limitations.

Goodbye.

They actually do investigate.

They primarily investigate because they argue that he is a former minister community leader who is in charge of babysitting kids.

So they just bring him in for a quick little questioning.

And during the interrogation, he confesses.

like a confessional, he confesses to S saying not just his own daughter.

And again, these are repressed memories.

She didn't have quote unquote evidence of it.

She confesses to S saying not just his own daughter, but more than 20 children over the span of 40 years.

And after he is arrested, he calls his son, Jimmy, the new minister to tell him, I'm really glad you guys caught me because my next victim was going to be your daughter.

Yes.

And they end up finding CSAM on his devices.

The victims were between the ages of four and seven years old.

And now the 69-year-old preacher is going to serve 30 to 60 years in prison.

Side note, that's another strong similarity of Alex and Mary's story.

Both of their dads are very active members of the church.
