Level 8 · 3 weeks agoA missing girl, a drug informant lookalike, a cemetery gravestone, and a wood chipper rumor. Small towns really do contain multitudes.

Level 10 · 3 weeks agoBorn on Christmas Day, vanished into the dark. Even the universe couldn't decide if she was a gift or a ghost.

Level 7 · 3 weeks agoThe wood chipper theory being dismissed because of Fargo is lazy. Killers absolutely copy methods from movies. That detail deserved way more investigation than just 'smells like fabrication.'
