Days by the pool, exploring the resort, and meeting other travelers.  Their 19 year old son, Jordan, quickly made friends — he was outgoing, well liked, and enjoying the trip.<br>But late one night, everything changed. The resort called, there had been an accident involving Jordan.  When they arrived at the resort clinic, Carrie saw her son lying on a table, motionless.  Moments later, he was rushed into an ambulance as medics tried to revive him. But at the hospital, doctors delivered the news no parent should ever hear. Jordan Morrison was dead.<br>Carrie and Dale talk about who Jordan was, what happened that night in Punta Cana, <br>and the long fight they endured searching for justice.</p><p>Do you have a story to share?
