概要
The Knife Under the Mattress: FBI's Impossible Shot

A large kitchen knife, placed under a mattress, remained untouched as a door splintered and a lock hit the floor. This detail reveals everything about the nine days that followed, before anyone found Cheryl Hart and her four-year-old son, Charlie. What happened during those nine days that changed how the FBI approached negotiations forever?

In this episode, we delve into the harrowing abduction of Cheryl Hart and Charlie by Charles Leaf Jr., a man with a history of domestic violence and a meticulously planned escape. We trace the FBI's desperate search across hundreds of miles, from a forced entry in Connecticut to a remote farmhouse in rural Virginia, and explore the chilling discovery that revealed Leaf's true intentions.
