About this episode
1986 - Rochester, New Hampshire.
In October 1986, Charles Martin Vosseler abducted his two sons, Billy and CJ, leaving their mother, Ruth, desperate to follow their trail—all while picking up the pieces of a life she now realized had been built on lies.
Charlie had taken everything: her possessions, her savings, and now, her sons. But he underestimated Ruth. He’d chosen an indefatigable adversary—one who would stop at nothing to bring her children home.
Decades later, Ruth is still fighting. Still hoping. Still believing that somewhere, her boys are out there—having lived full lives, unaware of who they truly are and everything their father stole from them.
If you have any information on the location of Charles Martin Vosseler or the abduction of his children, Charles Jason “CJ” Vosseler and William Martin “Billy” Vosseler, please contact your local FBI office or the Boston field office at (857) 386-2000.
