[00:00.00]Meanwhile, over the next year 

[00:04.36]there were countless visits 

[00:05.78]and interviews at the police station 

[00:07.75]and her home. 

[00:09.28]The police appeared 

[00:10.70]to be making no progress 

[00:12.56]in tracking Zac’s whereabouts. 

[00:14.53]As the days passed, 

[00:17.16]Lesley’s frustration mounted 

[00:19.34]and she felt a sense of alarm. 

[00:21.26]Eventually, she decided to 

[00:24.49]take the initiative in continuing the search 

[00:27.77]and she began to use 

[00:29.30]wellestablished child find agencies. 

[00:32.58]At times, boosted by hopes, 

[00:35.98]she appeared to be on the right trail 

[00:38.71]with a sense of disgust, 

[00:40.35]but her hopes were dashed 

[00:42.21]at the final moment. 

[00:43.74]These obstacles only made her 

[00:47.03]more determined not to 

[00:49.11]quit or to abandon hope. 

[00:50.52]After Zac’s picture was circulated nationwide, 

[00:55.12]telephone calls followed from strangers 

[00:57.96]reporting sightings of a Zac look alike. 

[01:01.14]Month by month her plan evolved 

[01:04.53]into a campaign equal 

[01:06.60]to a fullscale battle plan. 

[01:09.12]She paid an exceedingly high 

[01:11.86]fee for specialized help, 

[01:14.38]such as the services of an attorney. 

[01:16.67]Lesley became  determined to 

[01:19.52]target every major city

[01:21.38]where Jeff normally contracted business. 

[01:24.22]As the months slipped by, 

[01:27.07]Lesley’s exhaustion became noticeable in her eyes. 

[01:31.33]Her cheeks became hollow pits. 

[01:34.06]Most days she felt as though 

[01:37.68]she did not have an ounce of energy left 

[01:39.54]because proof of Zac’s existence 

[01:41.83]seemed impossible to find.

[01:43.48]Another year passed and her hopes dimmed. 

[01:47.09]Unexpectedly, late in August 

[01:50.59]a promising lead brought her to Los Angeles.
