When Thomas Bitter received a call from his son Jason asking if his curfew could be extended, Bitter saw no harm in it. The young man, a 17-year-old athlete with a winning sense of humor, was given permission to stay out later than normal. It was the last conversation Bitter would ever have with his son.
