She recounts how what began as a routine business trip quickly turned into a nightmare when he failed to call home, never made it to his next hotel, and was later discovered to have traveled to Iran’s Kish Island without her knowledge. From there, the discussion traces the family’s agonizing early search, the lack of useful help from the U.S. government, the trip Christine and her son made to Iran, and the years of uncertainty before proof-of-life images and video finally emerged showing Bob alive but clearly deteriorating in captivity. The conversation also becomes a broader indictment of how Washington handled the case. Christine describes the frustration of dealing with the FBI, State Department, and White House across multiple administrations, especially when the Obama administration secured a nuclear deal with Iran without bringing Bob home or even securing his remains. She reflects on eventually being told that Bob had died, while his body was never returned, and explains why it is so painful to now see an Iranian official tied to the case participating in present-day diplomacy. The interview closes on both grief and resolve, with Christine emphasizing her children’s strength, the legacy behind the Bob Levinson Act, and her belief that the U.S. government still could and should bring Bob home.
