Chapter 11 - Discovering Personal Belongings Buried in the Dust
As investigators continued their sweep of the hidden bunker, a technician noticed a loose floor tile in the corner.
Using a small pry bar, he lifted the corner of the concrete slab to reveal a hidden plastic storage box.
He called lead investigator Detective Vance over to examine the unexpected discovery inside the damp cavity.
Vance knelt down beside the box, carefully pulling back the lid with a pair of gloved hands.
Inside lay a collection of personal items belonging to Sarah Jenkins: her wallet, driver’s license, and family photos.
There were also several handwritten journals detailing the exact dates of her captivity and messages of hope.
“Look at this entry from three months ago,” Vance pointed out, shining his penlight across the yellowed paper.
“Today I heard a little girl’s voice outside the hatch... she was playing with toys. Please let her find me.”
The chilling words sent a cold shiver down the spine of every hardened detective standing in the underground room.
