Six years ago, my husband Daniel took our three sons on their annual fishing trip.<\/p>\n
Before they left, I took a picture of the four of them.<\/p>\n
It was the last time I ever saw them.<\/p>\n
They never came home.<\/p>\n
Police found Daniel\u2019s truck and empty boat trailer near the marina. Their damaged boat was later discovered on the opposite shore, but no bodies were ever found.<\/p>\n
Authorities concluded it was a boating accident.<\/p>\n
But I never believed it.<\/p>\n
Daniel was extremely careful. He checked the weather constantly and knew that lake better than anyone.<\/p>\n
For six years, I raised our three daughters while keeping my husband and sons\u2019 belongings untouched.<\/p>\n
Then my oldest daughter, Sophie, convinced me it was time to start packing their things.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when she found something that changed everything.<\/p>\n
