Tara Pakanich was woken up at 2:30 am one snowy evening in February to find her son, Shad Thyrion missing. 25-year-old Shad had been out partying in Tara’s basement with his friend and now they were both gone. Tara crept downstairs and soon found a bucket at the bottom of the stairs that would change her life forever.
