1. It was a sunny Saturday morning in the summer of 2018 when eight-year-old Jacob Thompson was allowed to go to the salon alone for the first time.
2. Jacob was a white boy from the state of California, with a floppy mop of brown hair and deep blue eyes.
3. He was born on April 3, 2010, in a bustling Los Angeles hospital.
4. Jacob stood at a height of 3 feet 10 inches and weighed 55 pounds.
5. Jacob's mother, Grace Thompson, had always been by his side for every little adventure up until now.
6. Grace was only 23 years old, having been born on June 15, 1995.
7. Grace stood at a modest height of 5 feet and 4 inches and weighed 130 pounds.
8. Her golden-blonde hair cascaded in loose waves down her back, and her bright green eyes sparkled with youthful energy.
9. Today was a big day for Jacob, not just because he would be going to the salon alone, but because he wanted to impress a girl he had a crush on.
10. Her name was Emily Rodgers, and she was in the same class as Jacob.
11. Emily had just turned eight a few months ago, on July 21, 2010.
12. She, too, was a white girl with shoulder-length curly auburn hair and hazel eyes.
