In 2008 the Illinois state police reopened the case against Jack after receiving an email from Janet Tessier about their mother's deathbed confession.

His persuasive words capture a sense of “America the beautiful” that drove thousands to seek a new life in the land of opportunity.

It was a time of starvation indeed - of the colony’s 500 residents, only 60 lived till spring.
