Dr. Phil sits down with Austin's father, Jeff, on grief, forgiveness, and the noise that swallowed his son's story, joined by community advocate Dr. Bruce Carter, who sees the case very differently and became Jeff's unlikely friend anyway.  Sponsored by:HighLevel: If you own a small business, don’t skip this.
