 Teens find Sam's club card in woods, see the name and take off running. There was something up in the clearing ahead. Something that didn't belong there. Approaching cautiously, they inspected the hunk of twisted metal. Was someone still inside? Opening the front door, they peered into the car, but there was nobody there. How had it gotten here? Then, Joe spotted something bright blue from the corner of his eye. It had started out as a normal evening for two teenagers Alec Uniscoe and Joe Del Vecchio. They knew the woods in Lackawanna County near their homes well and often went atving, hiking, and fishing there. On this particular excursion, they stumbled on something that blew an ongoing investigation open wide. Little did they know, their woodland playground would never be the same again. Joe and Alec decided to go to a corner of the woods in search of adventure, but the pair didn't know that adventure had already found them. The car in the woods just didn't make sense, and the boys immediately knew something was very wrong. They found the car far from the road, and all signs pointed to something sinister. The abandoned cars windows had been smashed, and there were no signs of movement. Everything was eerily quiet. Joe and Alec peered inside but didn't find a soul. What had happened to the car's passengers? And how had the car gotten so far into the woods? The teenagers, curious, started to look around the car in search of more clues. Joe then opened the car and began to search for signs, anything that might solve the mystery. That's when he found a Sam's Club retail card. Did it belong to the car's driver? The name read Edwin Cossack, and the name sounded vaguely familiar. But the two boys didn't put two and two together until later. The retail card was the first piece of the puzzle. Joe and Alec typed the name into Facebook and then Google, but what they found online told them all they needed to know. When they saw who the card belonged to, they wasted no time. But they knew that time was running out. The man who the Sam's Club retail card belonged to was none other than beloved community member and ex-Federal Judge Edwin Cossack. He was 91 years old, and more importantly, he had been missing for two days. The teenagers were the only ones who had the slightest clue about his whereabouts, and they couldn't believe what they had stumbled upon. The police had taken to social media and the news to encourage anyone who had any information to come forward, and time was of the essence for the Federal Judge. The winter temperature had plummeted overnight, and the police feared that an elderly man would not survive exposure to the freezing cold. Alec and Joe immediately searched around the abandoned car again, but there was no sign of the missing man. With their search for Cossack becoming futile in the growing darkness, Joe and Alec raced home and told their parents about the mangled car and the missing judge. The boys' parents immediately called the police, who asked the teenagers to take them to the scene in the woods. They arrived equipped with flashlights and a canine unit, and the search party looked for the missing man well into the night. I was a little scared, Alec admitted in an interview later. I didn't think they'd find him alive. Unbeknown to the boys, there was already investigation underway. The media was involved, and the public had rallied together and taken to social media and the news in hopes of finding their beloved community member, and even put up billboards in the hopes that someone had some information. The residents of the town had even assembled search parties of their own. I've gone up the mountain, asked in mountain, checking the back roads and stuff, just seeing if he made a wrong turn somewhere and got lost, one volunteer said. Everyone was worried about 91-year-old Cossack, and the tension grew as the hours passed and there was still no sign of him. Judge Cossack had been a federal judge for over 30 years and was well known and loved by the community. But what had happened to him? Fears grew that something nefarious was afoot, as the judge had no doubt made some dangerous enemies over the years. Then, the first clue was found on a camera's security footage. Cossack could be seen on the recording 24 hours before the police had realized he was missing. Cossack was wearing jeans and a blue coat in the early hours of the morning as he tried to enter Bill's shop right, which was closed due to the hour. But what had happened to him? Defense Attorney Chris Powell said, we want to know what happened to him. I was just over in court this morning and it's on everybody's mind. Everyone was worried that the judge's disappearance was due to criminal activity. Had he been attacked or taken? Then, the boys made their breakthrough discovery in the woods. With the new evidence of the car in the woods, the police soon found Cossack. The dogs quickly found his scent and led the police to where he had been lying, just 100 meters away from the abandoned car. The boys had passed over him numerous times as they searched in the dark, but was he alive? Cossack was barely conscious and had been too weak to call out, and he had no idea where he was. The marshals then managed to piece together what chain of events had led him to be alone in the woods, so far away from any roads. He had suffered memory loss and had become disoriented, and had crashed his car. Exhausted and shocked, he had collapsed. Cossack was immediately taken to the hospital and treated. His son, who had been sick with worry since he had gone missing, shed tears of relief. He then told the hospital to watch out for old injuries that may have been hurt by Cossack's accident. Surprisingly, the hospital declared him to be in fair condition. It was truly a miracle. If the two teens, Joe and Alec, hadn't stumbled upon the car and the telltale club card, Cossack's story may not have had a happy ending, and the beloved judge is alive and well thanks to their quick thinking and curiosity. U.S. Marshall Martin Payne was especially grateful. We're very thankful to these two young men that they saw this vehicle happen to be in this area, fortunately, Payne told Fox News. But the boys shrug off all the praise, and Alec said, we're glad he's okay, glad that we could help out. But that wasn't the end of the interaction between the grateful judge and his saviors. Joe and Alec visited Cossack in the hospital to make sure he was okay, and Cossack was even present when they received an award for their bravery, saying, it was an honor to watch them receive their award, I am sat here today because of them. Joe even wants to be a police officer one day, and he has definitely proved himself worthy of the role.
