Spring was just around the corner on a crisp, dry day. In a ranch-style house on McDonald Road, Kent Jacobs pulled on a familiar weekend uniform. His black Harley Davidson sweatshirt and his black sneakers. Kent and his mom had a Sunday routine. She would head to church. He would take a walk. Usually Kent turned right onto McDonald, and a quarter mile later made a left, passing mobile homes and patches of woods.

Along this stretch of country highway, it was common to see Kent walking alone, and people knew him by his dark hair and ready-grand. It was a well-worn path for him. You knew it was always the same, always the same. That is Kent's brother, Keith Jacobs. He says Kent's destination on his weekend walks was a place close to Kent's heart. The neighborhood where Kent grew up, where he could hang out with his childhood friends for a few hours.

Kim Beiber is Kent's sister. I'm just saying Kent is all you had to say. Everybody knew who he was. Most Sundays Kent's mom got home first. She knew Kent would walk through the door by 5 p.m. and he was never late. Until that Sunday, March 10th, 2002, that was the moment when everything changed, because that was the day Kent Jacobs didn't come home.

Waltting my mom's house and my mom's, you know, home by herself upset, crying. I knew in my gut then, I was like, this is bad. It was a different kind of upset for my mom for the first time that I'd ever experienced when it came to camp. I knew my mom knew something was wrong. Before we go on, here's something important to know about Kent Jacobs. He was a 41-year-old man with a developmental disability

that had left him with the mental capacity of a child. If Kent were in trouble, he might not even know it, or he might not know how to escape it. This is a story about a man everyone liked, and about his family's unrelenting search for answers. I dream about him still quite a bit. I'll be honest with you. Your life changed a lot as a result of this.

You left New York? I did. It's also the story of a mystery that haunts a retired detective. It keeps me up at night. I played though. Should've would've could've game. She found a tantalizing clue buried in a case file.

It might or might not be the key to unlocking this puzzle. You think this is all gonna end with Kent Jacobs being found? I hope so. I pray it does. Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the abortion pill has taken center stage. But how we got this medication is a decade-long saga with an unlikely cast of collaborators, all pushing towards one goal to bring the abortion pill to America. It's a story that has mostly been forgotten to history until now. Here in my hand is a prototype of that pill.

Can we find a patient who wanted to do this? Our telephone was tapped. We were afraid that the lab would get blown up. Oh, we want to place it at the table. I don't want to place it at the table. Not their table. I want to turn their table into firewood. I'm TJ Raphael, and on the new season of Cover Up, The Pill Plot, I'll take you on the

wild ride to get the abortion pill into American hands. Whatever it took. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts to binge all episodes of Cover Up, The Pill Plot, or Listen Weekly wherever you get your podcasts.
