Chapter 12 - Uncovering the True Identity of the Trapped Victim
Back at the precinct, records clerks cross-referenced Sarah Jenkins’ driver’s license with old corporate databases.
The investigation quickly revealed why David had gone to such monstrous lengths to make her disappear permanently.
Sarah had been the chief financial officer of a tech startup that David had embezzled millions from years prior.
When she discovered his financial fraud and threatened to expose him, he lured her to a fake meeting and trapped her.
He had staged her disappearance to look like a voluntary runaway case, throwing local police off his trail completely.
For years, her grieving family had put up missing person flyers across every major city in the country.
Now, those flyers would finally be replaced with news of her miraculous rescue and the downfall of her captor.
Detective Vance picked up the telephone receiver to deliver the life-changing news to Sarah’s elderly parents.
“Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, we found your daughter... she is alive and recovering at the county hospital,” Vance said gently.
