Old Friend

19 year-old Justin Back had everything going for him - he was fresh out of high school, just completed a Fire Science program, and was set to ship off to Navy basic training in only 10 days. Justin was friendly with everyone…but did your folks ever tell you to be careful of who you were hanging out with when you were young? Sandy Cates, Justin’s mom, was certainly one of those parents…and for good reason. A mother’s intuition is often right…but a strange feeling she had would turn into desperate fear one cold afternoon in January of 2014, when her son Justin went missing.
