"Missing".

That's all their small town heard for the past two years. As more young girls vanish over the months, the police become tied up and believe they will never catch the monster responsible. That is until nineteen year old Stephanie Mantler disappears, and begins to understand what has been going on in their town, under everybody's noses. And as the months of her captivity pass, she unravels a tangled mystery herself; a mystery that ends with lies, truths and pain.

** Featured Story on Wattpad Crime, Wattpad YA, and Wattpad Stories Undiscovered** You heard it on the news. Which story do you believe? Ever since 19-year-old Kara Harrison returned home last year, pieces of her life no longer fit. After disappearing from her claustrophobic town of Winslow over three years prior, she's unable to shake the dreaded feelings of her time gone, the haunting memories, and her overly concerned mother she suddenly can't handle. But when new evidence turns up and talk about her captor and 'supposed' time held hostage begins to spread across their town, she's back in the spotlight again. And maybe, there is much more to her abduction story than she originally led on.
Lies Left Unsaid by B_Ander

"The fact that I was murdered didn't come as a surprise; it was the fact that it hadn't happened sooner which shocked me." High school senior, Caitlyn Coates, has everything going for her; she's beautiful, brilliant and rich. With just a month until graduation, and her acceptance to Yale confirmed, she should be celebrating, but that's a little hard to do, seeing as how she's...dead. All that remains of Highland Park High's most popular student is her pinky finger, a clump of hair and a red silk thong. The disappearance of the wealthy teen girl with the bright future has sent shock waves through Highland Park, an upscale suburb of Chicago. It's up to hard-headed police force veteran, Detective Brandon, to unravel the truth. But in a town where everyone has a secret to keep and a motive for murder, solving Caitlyn's case will be filled with challenges, including a new rookie partner and the constant media attention due to the nation's obsession over all the morbid details surrounding Caitlyn's demise. Told from each character's point of view (including the deceased), the mystery surrounding Caitlyn Coates' murder may be just as mysterious as Caitlyn herself. It appears, in Highland Park, the truth is seldom what it seems. As Detective Brandon gets closer and closer to solving the case, he realizes that the most dangerous type of lie isn't the one that is told, but the one left unsaid.
