Dawn, who had had the major role, was particularly affected. She later told us, “I was really angry that I was having to do this koala thing and do all these other things to try to coax this man into reaching out to my family, because we thought that was the only way he would be caught. And so, while it was so upsetting on the inside, you wouldn’t have seen it on the outside because that was my job. But then, of course, once those little assignments were done, we fell apart. My family fell apart when nobody was watching. I would go upstairs into my bedroom and just sob. But we had amazing friends and family, and people there to support us, to help us so we didn’t go through it alone.
