Jury returns with Woodstock police officer Sgt. James Hess.

WHY was he "extremely concerned"? Was he more concerned than when they had other calls about other kids who hadn't arrived home straight from school? Why was he extremely concerned?

The search for Tori quickly expanded and soon 8 different police services were involved.
