The Criminal Bureau of Investigation reports that 20 adults go missing in the city of Prospect every day. Additionally they report a similar statistic for minors. In a city of roughly 1.5 million, they're barely an investigated crime. Mostly such disappearance are on the fast track to the cold case file or picked up by private investigators if the families of those who vanished have money. When it's people who society have written off: the prostitutes and runaway population they're just gone and no one seems to care. But when someone is abducted it becomes a different matter entirely.
Abducted people aren't just missing - they were taken. They didn't just fall off the radar or vanish to go live on a farm in Iowa, someone stole them away and typically not for good reasons. The news has reported that someone got taken and it ticked the first in a series of dominoes. People realized that she wasn't the first one taken. Others have gone missing and all within a relatively small space in downtown. Who's behind this? What's to be done about it?
People go missing all the time, but do we really care? They're just an anonymous statistic; a fact of life in a big city.
They're little more than faces in the rain.
