Soon they reached the Neva once more, and scoured the banks for rocks to skip along the water.

A local resident, startled by the sound of the explosion, called the police later that evening, but officers who scoured the area after dark didn’t discover damage to the tracks, Tusk said.

After scouring records, Jeske found that shooting firefighters almost never happens: “The last time that happened was like 20 years ago, and it was like 25 years before that when the previous one happened.”

“What was remarkable from the beginning is that Jesse wasn’t afraid to write stuff down, to demand things, to spend lots of time scouring for evidence.”

As authorities continue to scour the waters around Langkawi, Azham said he hopes that "those who are still missing... are still alive."
