Wendy left home the morning of December the 19th 1996 to go play with her friends.
Her friends never saw her.
Wendy entered the woods by herself and walked for almost two miles in a straight line.
Wendy's footsteps end abruptly and without sign of a struggle. Footsteps one moment, nothing the next.
How could she have just disappeared?
The police could only find her bag torn to shreds, hanging from a tree another mile west.
How did it get there?
The Bag
Wendy's bag was found torn and hanging from a tree a mile from where her footsteps stopped.
The bag was alone.
The bag was shredded.
The bag was empty.
When police investigated, they blamed local wildlife. The animals must've taken it, they said. Torn it open for food, they thought. But would animals leave it hanging high up on a tree? Would animals leave tracks this big in the snow?
