The most insane wikipedia article I know. Many paragraphs describe events that seem like the worst thing that could happen, but then the next paragraph is somehow worse.

We take modern investigation and forensic processes and techniques for granted. I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and the amount of shit people could get away with 70+ years ago was insane.

But even without all that, they know they sent her away with a guy and she never came back. Isn't it reasonable to assume he had something to do with that
