Walter and Abby were pleased when their baby child, Logan, entered their life. However, their excitement immediately turned to concern as Logan’s crying appeared to never stop. They tried everything they could think of to calm him down, but nothing helped. Determined to find a remedy, they set out on a trip to discover the source of Logan’s distress.
Walter went home one evening to find Abby completely overwhelmed by Logan’s crying. Despite her best attempts, the infant continued to wail uncontrollably. Walter embraced Abby and inquired sympathetically about how long this had been going on.
Tearfully, Abby explained that she had tried everything – feeding, changing, bathing – but nothing seemed to bring Logan any relief. The constant crying had taken a toll on both of them, causing immense distress.
In their search for answers, Walter suggested they inspect Logan’s crib. To their surprise, they found a dictaphone and a message buried within. Walter pressed a button on the dictaphone, and the wailing stopped immediately.
Abby, perplexed and concerned, asked Walter what he had discovered. Walter, lost in thought, handed her the message. When she read it aloud, the gravity of the situation struck them like a ton of bricks.
“I warned you that you’d regret being rude to me. If you want to see your baby again, leave $200,000 in the luggage storage lockers near the pier. If you go to the police, you’ll never see him again.”
Abby was shocked and overwhelmed by the note. They wondered who could have kidnapped Logan and why. Walter remembered an incident at the maternity hospital where he had mistreated a janitor. Could it be him?
With a heavy heart, Walter suggested going to the police, hoping they could track down the janitor and bring Logan back safely. Abby hesitated, fearing that involving the police might put their son in even more danger. Despite the risks, they decided to trust the authorities.
