Summary of Ryan Green's The Kuřim Case

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In May 2007, a new father in Kuřim, Czech Republic, tested a baby monitor that relayed video. The boy in the video looked like he was about six or seven years old, and his hands were bound up. Trdý considered it worth letting the police know about. #2 The police investigated, and after hearing the conversation between Trdý and Klára, they were able to figure out that the baby monitor had been transmitting from a nearby house. They went to search the house, and found the baby monitor transmitting from a closet under the staircase. #3 The police and firefighters had to physically remove the three children from the door. Ana, on the other hand, put up a fight. When responders laid hands on her, she got up and began kicking and scratching at them. #4 Ondrej’s brother, Jakub, told authorities that the scars on Ondrej’s body were the result of scratches from a pet gerbil, and welts from wasp stings received while camping. The authorities believed him, as he was extremely reluctant to speak.
