Jack Hyde
I discovered a young girl who seems like the perfect fit for taking care of my mother. I wait for my chance to grab her. I took her so easily and she was out like a light after I stuck the needle in and injected the drug into her arm. She went under quickly and I placed her in the trunk and gagged her and tied her hands and feet. No one saw me and no one saw my car. I drove back to Seattle and put the girl to work caring for my mother. No news reports about the little girl. No evidence and no one was around to see me take her. She fought once she was awake but soon after hitting her several times did she understand that she could not escape. When my mom had died I got angry and beat her and broke bones until she wouldn't wake up. I dumped her in an isolated area where no one would find her. I buried my mother got her estate and sold the house and cars and left Seattle for good. No news of a young girl being found dead or alive. I don't dare go to check on her.

Elizabeth Morgan
I had a flat tire in a bad area and I had to wait for a tow truck to help me with the tire change because I had no spare tire. I heard a noise coming from an alley nearby and I saw someone running from the alley and asking for help. They asked me to call 911 because they found a young girl in their cardboard box home. I went back and saw a young girl beaten badly and barely breathing. The police had an ambulance pick the child up and take her to the hospital. My car was towed and the police asked me to come to the station to give a statement. I am not sure what they expect from me. They wanted to search my car and I told them I just bought this car from a used car lot. I showed them my receipts.

Detective Angel Clark
I look at the receipts and still ask her to search her car. We find hairs that match the victims and DNA evidence that the victims. So we don't have the results yet but I am pretty sure this car was the one that held the victims body at one time. The blood is the same type as the victims. Something tells me that this woman is not the person who hurt the victim. We verified the sale with the dealership, they had just bought it from the car auctions. Danielle Hyde was the owner of the car so we let miss Morgan go and have a policeman drive her home. I copy all her information and she leaves and we have the car with a flat tire just as she told us. I go to the hospital and look in at the young girl and speak to her doctors. She is in a coma and has broken bones and they don't know how long she will be out. Dr Grey said that the kind of coma she is in is being treated. The child was beaten regularly and they think it is because of the beating that she became comatose. They are ruling out everything at this point they think she might be catatonic. The detective gets photos of the child so they can see if she matches any missing child reports. I ask the doctor if they can let me know when I can question the victim. They said they would give me a call. Call or otherwise I will follow up.

Three weeks later she has gained consciousness and is talking, but she can't seem to remember her name. Doctor Grey has had her talk to a child psychologist and they have told us that she has been abused but she can't remember how long it started. She has no idea how she ended up in the alley or where she lived because she wasn't allowed to look out windows or outside the room.the psychologist thinks that she has blocked out memories and that hopefully she remembers her name eventually. They placed her in a foster home after being released from the hospital. Missing persons reports were looked at but none resembled the girl. We are sure that the girl has been abused for a very long time. Whoever beat her thought she was dying and dumped her where she was found. She would have if someone hadn't found her and got miss Morgan to call 911.

We still haven't heard anything about Anastasia and the police have no leads at all. They tell us that they don't foresee a good outcome for her. Which is their subtle way of telling us they have presumed her dead. We have tried to live normal lives but we keep looking for her in every face of a young girl her age.

Anna Smith
My education has been questioned and they are working hard on getting me up to date on all my school work. My memory loss included not recalling how to read or write or spell. I have to take special education classes. The doctors think that I blocked all my memory out and that it was possibly the shock from the broken bones and being so badly beaten. My brain is luckily intact though. I finally am able to read and write and soon I am able to pass the many tests they give me. The psychologist is still seeing me and trying to unlock my memories.

Jack Hyde
I am long gone and haven't heard about a body being found in that alley. I get a place to stay and a different car to drive after getting on the bus to the first place out of Washington state. I stayed just long enough to settle the estate and sell everything mom left and get her life insurance. I cremated the old witch and had no funeral. She's lucky that I paid for the cremation.
