The culprit is Matt's biological father, Denny Thurman, whom he has never met. Matt's thirteen year-old sister, Bonnie, who immediately becomes involved with the search effort, notices that the family dog has disappeared. Is this a random occurrence, or is there a definite connection between the two events? Coincidentally, Bonnie locates her missing brother at a Mariners baseball game with his captor.
