Two officers arrived within the hour. Adam recounted everything—how she disappeared, her unreachable phone, the strange bouquet, the abandoned building. His voice wavered as he spoke, but he held onto every detail as though they were lifelines that might bring her home.
He showed them the few belongings she’d left: a toothbrush, a couple of T-shirts, and a half-empty shampoo bottle. The officers examined them quietly, noting everything. Nothing suggested she had planned a long trip or been interrupted mid-packing.
