Closure

Daniel didn’t hear his 16-year-old son, Chris, slip out of the house that early morning. He didn’t know what pulled him onto a bridge over the boisterous Vistula River in Warsaw—only that it was the last place he was seen. A rotating CCTV camera captured him there, and then, between turns, he vanished, leaving two possibilities: that he went into the river, or made it off the bridge unseen. Since that moment, Daniel and his wife, Agnieszka, have lived suspended between desperate hope and paralyzing fear.
