Police flooded the city with photos and appeals. The story made national news.
No one reported him missing. For decades, no one even knew his name. That’s the part that haunts me not just that someone killed him, but that no one came looking. A child existed, suffered, and vanished so quietly that the world barely noticed.

The crime ended in the woods.
The horror didn’t.
The horror didn’t.
It ended in the silence.
