MISSING

“You think something might have happened to Eden, and someone else sent this text?” Ellie asked.

Hannah nodded. “You’ll think this is crazy, too. But after we talked on Friday, I went online and read about those murders here on campus fifty years ago. That fire in the laundry room the other night, it happened exactly fifty years after the girl killed her baby and set it on fire, right? Well, this other girl—her name was Crystal Juneau—she was abducted just three days after the baby-killing incident, September twelfth. I keep thinking, Eden might have been out on her own Friday night—past midnight. Saturday was the twelfth. Maybe someone abducted her on Saturday, maybe the same person who started that fire Wednesday night . . .”

With a hand over her heart, Ellie stared at Hannah. “You think someone is copying the timetable of the Immaculate Conception Killer?” she whispered.

Hannah sighed. “Like I said, I know it sounds crazy.”

Not really, Ellie thought.
