Theres more to it than that. Now, whats really interesting about this story is that your initial reaction when you hear a story like that is, Ah, little old bag lady that no one notices, no one cares about. She wasnt like that. She was young, she was popular, she was attractive, she had many friends, she had family, but for whatever reason, nobody missed her for three years. Steven Wilson
