That is an interesting story. What a great first line. That linee should go down in the books. And, you very skillfully fill us in on the background. Then you swing back to the beginning again so we are all caught up and can go forward. Your resolution is fine, but in the end you seem to be emphasizing the press, when all along it was the mystery of the girl's disappearance that concerned us. Still, the ending is OK. It doesn't leave us flat--though we would like to know what happened to Rebecca Fisher.

Thank you for sharing this story with us. It abounds in scene description and atmosphere. We appreciate that you engage with other writers in the community.
