史蒂夫·博斯特警探：本集讲述了1964年失踪的11岁男孩罗伯特·"鲍比"·德斯蒙德的案件。此案是缅因州警方未破获失踪人口案件中最古老的一起，几十年来一直未被重视。通过与幸存家庭成员的访谈、有限的档案新闻资料和其他调查资源，警探正在努力了解鲍比·德斯蒙德的生活以及他可能遭遇的一切。他希望通过分享鲍比的故事，能有人站出来提供关键信息，帮助案件取得突破。由于最初的案卷已被销毁，调查工作不得不从头开始，如同处理一起新的案件。警探努力将鲍比的信息添加到国家数据库中，并收集了鲍比家人的DNA样本，以备日后比对。 1976年，由于新的线索和对未结案件的审查，案件重新启动，对霍维街房屋的地窖进行了挖掘，但没有发现鲍比的遗体，只发现了一些动物骨头和一副眼镜。警探已经推测出鲍比可能被带离家并处理掉的几种情况，但为了保护调查，不会公开这些细节。重新调查此案是为了给鲍比的家人带来一些安慰，让他们不再忘记这个孩子。 Dawn Martin：作为鲍比的同母异父妹妹，Dawn回忆了他们家充满混乱和暴力的童年生活，以及1964年8月发生在她哥哥鲍比身上的事件。她回忆了那晚的恐怖经历，以及她母亲随后对事件的解释，声称鲍比偷了钱然后逃跑。Dawn多年来一直寻求治疗以应对童年创伤，她希望能够找到她哥哥鲍比，并为此事画上句号。她表示，即使鲍比不想和她联系，她也希望能够得到案件的最终结果，因为她从未忘记他，并相信他应该得到更好的对待。 旁白：本集节目回顾了罗伯特·"鲍比"·德斯蒙德失踪案的始末，从案件的重新调查到关键证人的证词，以及案件中存在的各种可能性。鲍比的失踪有两种可能性：他独自逃跑或得到帮助。1976年的报道中怀疑鲍比的失踪案涉及凶杀，但由于缺乏证据，案件一直悬而未决。节目呼吁知情人士提供线索，帮助警方破案，为鲍比的家人带来安慰。
