Summary

Angie Clinger and her friends would spend their summer days exploring the woods and hillsides near their homes in Monroe Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. But on July 22nd, 1990, the day before Angie's 8th birthday, a simple outing with friends took a dark and unexpected turn. While playing near a tunnel under a railroad trestle, the children stumbled upon a horrifying discovery that would forever alter their childhood memories. The joy and anticipation of Angie's birthday (then and in the future) were instantly replaced by fear, confusion, and a profound sense of loss. This is the case of Penny Doe.

I remember birthdays at home, parties at McDonald's, and celebrations at the roller rink. It didn't

matter where the celebration was held. The thought of turning one year older meant being

closer to something exciting about growing up. This excitement was certainly true also for a young

girl named Angie Klinger, who was eagerly looking forward to turning eight in July 1990. Angie and her friends would

week. July 22nd, 1990 was a hot and humid day, Maggie, in Monroe Township, Pennsylvania.
