Summary

We have a special treat this week! Our very own Delictible, Crystal Watford, wrote a freaking book on the same case we had on deck for this week, so we forcefully made... umm, we mean, nicely asked.... her to come and help us this week. The sound is a tad different because skype was being stupid, but it's such a great story. We are so grateful for Crystal for taking the time to help make sure we didn't screw this story up!In 1888, 8 year old May Hawes was found floating in East Lake by two fishermen. Meanwhile, her mother and sister were missing. What happened to May, and why does she still remain at East Lake to this day, looking for her mother and sister?
