He had been working in Geelong and travelling home to Winchelsea each day via train.On October 18, he planned to make the long trip home, but his mother Jeynelle Dean-Hayes asked if he could stay in Geelong.

Tyler said he was tired and would prefer to go home instead.When Jeynelle and Josh arrived home late that night, Tyler wasn''t there.Shortly after they arrived, there was a knock on the door. It was the kind every parent dreads-standing there were two police officers. That was the beginning of their nightmare. Tyler had been hit by a car and been left for dead. Their beautiful son''s life had been cut short and the person responsible had kept driving.The grief they felt has never eased and the roadblocks they have faced in their search for justice have simply added to it.

Something terrible is taking over, and he may be the only one who can figure out why.

As a young man, Don Redden didn't have big plans for his future beyond raising a family, a good career at General Electric, and making it through the Vietnam War alive. His plan was simple, honest, and safe. When Don's tour of duty in the Army was over and he got home alive, it looked like he was on track to achieve everything he had set out to do.A chance encounter with an FBI agent led him to make a momentous decision and abandon the safe path he had set for himself. He would apply to join the FBI. This began the adventure of a lifetime. From bank robberies to kidnappings to murder, Don did what he had to, sometimes against protocol and sometimes against instinct, to protect those he could and bring justice for those he couldn't."Don is a humble guy who lived the adventure of being an FBI agent, and loved every minute of it. His commitment to courage and duty led him to make sacrifices, some big and some small, but he did so with his eyes open and always for the good of those people he could help and for the difference he could make every day." -Charlie Shor, from the Foreword
