Rose Launer's disappearance remained a mystery until a tiny clue found years later uncovered

Rose Launer was the second of three children in a broken family.

She was a highly intelligent but very difficult teenager.

Rose Launer was an 18-year-old girl who liked to spend a lot of time out at night with

her friends.

Away from her family, a family that dubbed her the vampire because they only saw her

in the daytime.

Rose's best friend, Bill Brown, was a boy she had known since second grade.

They remained friends even after high school.

The first girl I ever got a kiss from.

Her and two other girls came down to our house and they chased me through the woods

And we were just basically friends.

We had crushes on each other but nothing serious and we were just kids.
