“There were a couple years back in the sixties when a handful of teenage girls in the neighborhood just vanished. All the missing girls came from houses down by the creek that runs behind this house. Folks in the neighborhood got to calling whoever did it the Creek Killer ’cause of that, even though we never knew for sure they were killed. ’Cause they were never found. But what else could’ve happened? Folks don’t just go disappearing into thin air.”
