Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was on Billy's backpack?

Answer: dinosaurs

Billy's blue backpack had a dinosaur design on it. When he disappeared, Ronnie Purnell was left holding the bag. When Billy reappeared, Doggett unsuccessfully tried to use the bag to coerce Billy into telling him who had abducted him.

2. What did Sheriff Sanchez use to verify Billy's identity?

Answer: fingerprints

Though the fingerprints confirmed that Billy was the same boy who had disappeared 10 years prior, they couldn't explain how he hadn't aged!

3. What kind of animal did the Underwoods have?

Answer: dog

When they got Billy home, Mr. Underwood took him to the backdoor to show him his brother, Josh, and their dog, Sparky. Sparky came running at the glass door, barking and jumping at the boy through the door.

4. What weapon did Billy use against Josh?

Answer: knife

After his mom had tucked him in, Billy got out of bed and went to Josh's room with a knife. In the morning, Mrs. Underwood went to check on Billy and found his bed empty, so went to check on Josh, only to find a bloody hunting knife stuck in the mattress next to Josh. However, they found that Josh wasn't wounded and the blood on the knife was Billy's.

5. According to Sheriff Sanchez, what was odd about the weapon Billy had used against his brother?

Answer: symbol on knife hilt

After Sheriff Sanchez showed Scully and Doggett the symbol, he told them about the police psychic who'd come up with the same symbol when Billy had disappeared 10 years prior. Then Scully showed the two men that Billy had drawn the symbol all over his paper while being held in police custody.

6. What did Cal Jeppy threaten Ronnie Purnell with?

Answer: broken glass bottle

As Ronnie tried to get away in his car, Cal broke his beer bottle on the hood of the car and threatened Ronnie with it. Cal said that if Ronnie said anything to the cops, he'd tell them about the boy Ronnie had buried in the woods.

7. What song could be heard on the tape Scully made of the psychic?

Answer: All the Pretty Little Horses

When Scully played the tape of the woman speaking in tongues backwards, she and Doggett could both hear the song "All the Pretty Little Horses" being sung in a child's voice.

8. Where was Josh being held by his abductor?

Answer: horse trailer

Doggett badgered Ronnie into telling him that Cal was the man taking the kids and the agents found Josh bound and gagged, hidden under a false floor in the horse trailer.

9. Who had abducted Josh and Billy?

Answer: Cal Jeppy

Cal had abducted the boys but Ronnie was able to sing to them to try to reassure them. After Doggett interrogated Ronnie, he told him that Cal was the abductor.

10. Did Billy go home with his family after Josh was rescued?

Answer: no

After Cal was apprehended, Billy disappeared over his grave site. The police dug up the grave so that the family could see the bones and have some closure.
