It was late October of 2013 and 33-year-old Alice LaRue who was sitting at her kitchen table,

surrounded by friends and family. On the table, cell phones, snacks, and paperwork were

strewn about. This was the search team. Alice's eldest daughter, 18-year-old Aprena Paul, had been

missing for over 72 hours. Alice sat in a daze as her friends buzzed about talking about the recent

trips from the hotline they had set up while simultaneously crunching snacks. Alice was feeling lost.

What else could they do? The police were on the case. Every day, the family handed out missing

flyers, with Alice's cell phone number. The pretty photo of Aprena, in her periwinkle graduation cap

and gown, had been blasted through the local news and all over social media. The message was

out and tips had been flooding in. Alice wrote everything down. She scribbled furious notes for

the detectives and listened to every tip. No matter how crazy they seemed. As Alice tried to

shut her eyes for a moment to breathe through the chatter, her phone rang. She flipped it over,

the screen lit up. The incoming call was from Aprena's cell phone. Her heart stopped.

She swallowed nervously and picked up. Hello? She croaked. The line was silent for a moment.

A pregnant pause that seemed to last a decade. I have a tip. A man's voice said,

check Rock County. What? Alice choked on her words. Who was calling from her daughter's phone?

As she started to speak again, the line went dead. The man was gone. Alice threw her phone down on

the table. Her friends stared at her. Why not? Where is Rock County? Alice asked. She had to know.
