Oglesby, Eddyville, Lacon, Peru, Andover, LaRouq, Petersburg Illinois.

"What do you got for me?" Coleman asked as she shrugged off his jacket, draping it over his chair. "Tell me you got something good"

"I got something better than good" Irons stated a smile on his face.

"Go on" Coleman urged.

"I think I found them."

"Hot damn boy, let's go!" Coleman jumped back up, gulping down the rest of his morning coffee.

"There are six possible spots maybe seven."

"Six?" Coleman sat back down less excited and leaned back in his chair. "You got me excited for six possible locations?" Coleman yawned closed his eyes. "I thought you said you had something"

"Six locations is something" Brent argued.

"Let me know when you get that number down to two." Brent kicked Coleman's feet off the table and threw a file at him. "Yeah I know I'm helping, I'm helping." Coleman adjusted in his seat while Irons pulled forwards the board and pinned the map again. With strings and new colors, a proper murder board, even though they hoped their missing persons were still alive.

"Eddyville is too far south," Coleman stated as he viewed the possible locations.

"Which is why it would be perfect"

"Why there? Why did you pick there?"

"Hannah was from just outside Eddyville"

"But it says" Coleman looked at the file verifying facts "that she was last seen visiting a friend in St. Louis Missouri."

"Fine, see already down to five"

"Joy" Coleman said dully as he flicked the file back onto the desk. "Next, wait why these locations? Illinois has farm land all across the state. So, you know something I don't or you just picking places you want to visit?"

"I'm looking for barns, large industrial places or small underground cellars, places to keep people that would be easily for then-"

"In the middle of nowhere, somewhere where no one would look..."

"You got an idea?" Irons asked as he pulled the pin out of Eddyville. "Please do share" he urged while Coleman stayed biting his lip in concentration.

"Look for something shut down, maybe something within the family, a generation of farmhouses turned murder sanctuary?" Irons looked through his spark notes of what he found and pointed a crooked finger to the map.

"Oglesby, more western closer to Missouri and that is only just an hour away from where Cassie and Caleb were camping." Coleman nodded moving up to view the map. "There are three family barns in the area that I found previously but they are pretty legit farms."

"Alright now you are getting somewhere."

"Andover is more northern, closer to here, still close enough to Missouri and near Cassie and Caleb's camp site, and Hannah's possible location." Irons hesitated "I didn't find any barns or family farms though, but there were three massive cellars."

"Did we track the car's tracks to any of these?"

"There was three trailers registered two of which were in Andover but the cars were all stolen so they were dead ends."

"Alright" Coleman said slowly, they had information, but their victims were taken from so many different areas, they were on a wild goose chase.

"What about the Litt's? And Danial Kemmer? Or Isabella and Will Rush? Where do they fix?"
