Meet Ann

An Unfateful Event

A Mystery Visitor

She Got Curious
PixabayWith the help of an investigative reporter, Ann tracked down everyone who went with her brother on the camping trip, but unfortunately, none of them is her brother’s mystery visitor.
Meeting Ronald

Karl Changed His Life
PixabayWhen asked why he’s visiting Karl’s grave, Ronald said, “We went to court (after trying to save Karl) and I always remember there was a policeman there, and he said ‘You did very well. Don you know, when you leave school, you ought to go into the police force.'” So he did.
The Mystery Is Still Unsolved
PixabayDespite finding out who’s been leaving the fresh flowers on Karl’s grave, Ronald said that the handwritten poems are not his, so this is still a case unsolved.
A Realization
