When their son went missing, Reilly’s parents were shut out of the investigation by the FBI and turned to Forrest to uncover what happened. Brett Forrest is a national security reporter for The Wall Street Journal where his work often focuses on the former Soviet Union. He has covered the war in Ukraine and was the first reporter to into the Kiev suburb of Bucha following the Russian military’s withdrawal, where he broke the news of alleged atrocities.
