In this episode, Ashley discusses William Paul Smolinski, Jr, often referred to by his nickname Billy, who went missing in August 2004. While initially, law enforcement thought he left on his own, foul play is now suspected.

“We are never going to give up searching for our son,” Janice said. “We are driven by our faith, and all the mistakes and obstacles we’ve encountered make us more determined to find the truth and bring Billy home.”
