Since the day of her birth, a close family friend has been invited each

unaware of this and do not know of his mental disorder. Few months

after her sixteenth birthday she is abducted from her family home

garden, whilst walking home from school. Now she has been missing

for over 20 years and is not aware of her location. Throughout the

duration of her being gone, the family friend stays close within the

investigation and gives full sympathy and support to the family.

Making sure to stay out of the suspect queue. For over 20 years the

family friend stayed close to her family and still does, hoping one day

slowly applying make-up on her face in a disturbed way. Whilst she is

doing this, flashbacks will be shown of the day she was abducted: her

viciously. Then, the door handle will shake fast enough to scare the

woman as she becomes shocked.
