Dakota McGarren. Body found December 12, 2014 2:27 a.m. Though heavily depressed and introverted, Kota was a free spirit. She found life to be infinitely intriguing. Everything was a mystery. After her father was hospitalized for heart problems, she's forced to go back to her mother and stepfather in California - which was fine. It was returning to her two stepbrothers that scared her death. She hoped she'd never have to relive that night again. Upon returning to her old life (one she so graciously escaped 3 years ago) she is constantly being drowned by her past. Not particularly sure of her future, she found herself living without care. Unfortunately as much as Kota loved mysteries, in time, she inevitably became one. One which he would never figure out.
