Summary

2006 - Skowhegan, Maine. Amy Drake was only 18-years-old when her body was found by hunters in 2006 in the woods of Norridgewock, Maine, just a few miles from the Skowhegan town line. She’d been missing for a little over a month. Since then, there have been few answers as to what happened to Amy, and her case, although still open 14-years later, sits on a list of 100+ other cold cases in the state of Maine. But this story isn't about a murder. It’s about friendship. And nostalgia. And legacy. The things that were, and a butterfly effect of the things that could have been.
