...and l used to cut through
the woods on this little dirt road.
1:22:07
And one morning, l was riding
through there...
1:22:11
...and l heard this noise.
1:22:15
Sounded like a rabbit or something,
you know, caught in a trap.
1:22:21
And then l realized it was coming from
one of the houses set back in there.
1:22:27
l kind of walked over there...
1:22:29
...and didn't seem like anybody
was home, so l walked on up.
1:22:33
lt had, you know, chicken wire and
barbed wire around the bottom of it.
1:22:39
l figure to keep the critters out,
you know?
1:22:44
And then all of the sudden, l saw
these fingers coming through the wire.
1:22:50
And l put my bike down...
1:22:53
...and got down
on my hands and knees...
1:22:57
...and l looked under there,
and there was this boy about my age.
1:23:03
l don't know what was wrong
with him. Something was.
1:23:07
They used to keep him under there.
1:23:09
And l looked right at him.
1:23:15
He looked back at me.
1:23:20
We just sat there staring
at each other for a while.
1:23:28
l ran that route for two years,
Mary Helen.
1:23:38
And l never did a thing.
1:23:53
l just wanted you to know that.
1:23:57
Thanks, Daddy.
