Search and Rescue Team Finds Mangled Body During Training; My Dad, the Team Leader, Didn't Recognize It Was Me

I never thought my dad, the leader of our local search and rescue team, would find my bones buried in the snow during a training exercise.

He immediately called my adopted sister Natalie to cancel her upcoming hiking trip, citing safety concerns.

One of his team members reminded him, "Hey Trevor, shouldn't you call your younger daughter Hazel too? I heard she was planning a hike as well."

But my dad's face darkened as he snapped, "Why bring up that good-for-nothing? I hope that murderer dies out there!"
