A local woman missing- Mary Kubica

LEO
NOW
Around the same time you disappeared, some other lady did, too.
They found her. Except that by the time they did, she was already
dead.
For a while, cops thought it was all connected. They were wrong.
Now the lady’s husband is in the slammer. He’ll be there for a long
time, twenty to life, ’cause they found her bloody clothes in a
Dumpster behind where he worked.
That night the lady cop calls Dad on the phone. He takes it into
another room because he doesn’t want you to hear what she’s
saying. But when I ask, he tells me. Turns out, the people who took
you were dumb enough to use their real names, because there is a
real Eddie and Martha Cutter living in Michael, Illinois. Eddie and
Martha own a house on Calhoun Street. They’ve owned it twelve
years. The lady cop texts Dad a picture. It’s not the nicest house
because half of its shutters are missing and there’s mildew on the
white siding. The trees grow out of control, nearly hiding the house.
The inside is ten times worse. It’s filthy. The carpet is stained.
There’s water damage on the walls, turned black with mold. There’s
standing water on the floor. Dirty dishes pile up in the kitchen sink.
The only problem is that Eddie and Martha are not living there
anymore because when the cops went to investigate, the house was
abandoned. “Detective Rowlings is trying to locate their family, to see
if they know anything about their whereabouts.”
I’m wondering what happens if they try and come here.
There are no pictures of the basement. The lady cop told Dad
about the conditions they kept you in, but Dad can’t tell me because
he’s too busy crying his eyes out.
Your friend Gus was nowhere in sight. There was blood in the
basement.
You get the idea.
