The Disappearance of a Missing Persons Investigator

Two Years Earlier…

In America, roughly 600,000 people (of all ages) go missing each year. Two years before Andrea vanished into thin air, her friend became another statistic. This friend has chosen to remain anonymous, but for the sake of the story, we’ll call her Jane. Jane went missing near Lexington, Kentucky, on September 1, 2017, and it baffled the community.

Jane’s friends and family from her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, thought it was a kidnapping, or that her boyfriend – an assumed drug dealer – was holding her hostage. While many people chalked it up to one of troubled Jane’s episodes (she was homeless and struggling with addiction), Andrea did not. She was one of Jane’s best friends from childhood.
