Bring Jerry Home: A Father's Battle to Return His Abducted Son to America

The true story of a father who would stop at nothing to rescue his kidnapped son In 2012, Bob Pfeifer faced every father's worst fear: his child had been kidnapped. Maria, his ex-wife, had taken his nine-year-old son Jerry and Jerry's half-brother Sasha,3, to Europe on summer vacation.... She never brought them home. After Maria cut all communications and disappeared, Bob hired private investigators, who discovered that Maria was hauling them all across Europe, moving frequently from one city to another. There were sightings in Prague, Munich, Paris, and Bratislava, but they never stayed in one place long. The detectives always seemed to be one step behind, and Bob feared for the health and safety of his son. In desperation, he turned to social media. Jerry had already been gone a year when Bob launched both a -Bring Jerry Home- Facebook page and a -Bring Jerry Home- website. Leads started coming in immediately from sympathetic strangers who eventually galvanized into a force known as Jerry's Army. Bob devoted himself full time to pursuing each lead, in the process, forging valuable links with law enforcement officials, both in Los Angeles and overseas. Even after Jerry had been located, however, the battle was far from over. Bringing Jerry Home is the suspenseful and ultimately uplifting story about the unbreakable bond between a father and son and about one parent's steely perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
