About this listen
When a missing child is found miles from home with no explanation, relief should follow.
Instead, doubt does.
Laura and Mark Bennett’s son disappears overnight—and returns the same day. Alive. Unharmed. Different.
The details don’t line up. The shoes aren’t his. His memories feel rehearsed. And when Mark begins asking the wrong questions, the answers unravel something far more dangerous than a kidnapping.
As an outside investigator quietly reviews records and timelines, a devastating possibility emerges: the child who came home may not be the one who left.
Told through shifting perspectives, The Wrong Missing Child is a psychological thriller about identity, maternal fear, and the terrible power of “stability” when truth threatens to destroy a family. As the past closes in and systems designed to protect begin to conceal, the question becomes unavoidable:
If a child is safe, loved, and thriving—does the truth still matter?
And who decides?
Tense, restrained, and deeply unsettling, this novella will stay with you long after the final chapter.
