Host Renee Montagne talks with Block about what it's been like to watch the story unfold, and what she'll remember most after she returns home.
It's the voice of one mother she spoke with, Block said: "In this incredibly anguished voice, with this just heart-breaking pain, calling out to him, 'Mom is coming for you.'

it did not say if they recovered him alive or not. but here is this woman in another country, who speaks a different language, but you understand her anguish, and feel deeply for her. that was the only thing she could do was call out to him, but that is what i would have done.
i hope they found him.
