STILLWATER, Minn. -- When David Francis answered the phone on July 16, 2006, he heard the words that would be any parent’s nightmare.
His son Jon was missing.
Jon was working as a youth minister in Ogden, Utah. It was a part-time job, so he was spending the summer as a counselor at the Luther Heights Bible Camp near Ketchum, Idaho.
