John Tran, a U.S. citizen living in Ho Chi Minh City with his partner, Linh, and their three sons, was left shaken on July 4 after watching a news report about the discovery of a woman’s body in the Saigon River.
Months earlier, his 6-year-old triplets—Jayden, Jayce, and Jaymes—had told him they spotted what they believed were “human bones” floating in the local water body during a boat tour.
He said he had brushed off their account as a product of their imagination but now realizes the importance of paying “more attention” to what his children communicate.
