In a small New England city, a teenager disappeared after a night in the woods, and almost immediately, the story of what happened fractured.
The last people known to be with her gave conflicting accounts. Her family believed the investigation lost precious time. As the years passed, searches kept returning to the same narrow stretch of land, the same handful of names, and the same possibility that someone had been carrying the truth all along.
After decades of searches, whispers and shifting loyalties, someone still knows where to find her. And it’s time to speak up.
