Julie and Heather Morgan

Julie had spoken sharply to Heather, which was unusual. The twins usually got along well enough, better than most sisters...Julie was a few minutes older and could be bossy when she was in an impatient mood...Julie smiled mischievously into the camera, a pretty blonde girl with perfectly straight teeth. “Five three, about one hundred and ten pounds, just turned fourteen.”.

Detective Jim Brady

He had been with the Morgan’s Landing Police Department for twelve years, and this was only his second missing person case.

Detective Earl Kinsella

Earl Kinsella reported that he had questioned her classmates, none of whom remembered seeing her at school that day.

Julie's friends

Her closest friends—Lisa Hart, Daelyn Roberts, and Emily Morrison—were still with him in the music room when Jim arrived...They, like the twins, were diligent students and very nice girls, if a little entitled. Daelyn was the prettiest, with a raven-black ponytail and long eyelashes, and Lisa was the smartest, the one who won essay contests and got straight A’s.

Suspect A: Raymond Ochner

A thin, dark-haired man about forty opened the door. His face was pale and drawn, and his clothes—sweatpants and a T-shirt—were a little rumpled.

Julie's diary

It was a small red leather-bound book of narrow-ruled pages, each headed with a printed date, one page per day.

Suspect B: Bear Wayans

He had short hair, sort of brown, going gray, but he wasn’t too old, Thirties, maybe forty. He was wearing a sweater, like a pullover, but with a zipper halfway down...He resembled a ferret—a narrow face and small, red-rimmed eyes.

Frances Brady

Frances had Sarah nestled against her shoulder, patting her back...she had tied her pretty, soft brown curls back with a bandana.

Suspect C: Colin Brady

Young Colin Brady, fourteen and restless, gave the ocean a quick glance from his second-floor bedroom, but he was more interested in the figure of a girl marching up the street in the direction of the high school.
