[Phone rings]

Hello.

Hello?

MALE:
Yeah, who is this?

Laura, who's this?

MALE:
Kenneth.

Did you just call me?

No.

MALE:
Sorry. Never mind.

[Hangs up]

Hello?

Guy!

Guy!

Excuse me, I beg your pardon,

I was looking for my cat.

Cat?

Yeah, kind of a big white thing,

uh, I live a couple of houses down,

and, uh, she used to belong

to the previous owner.

Yes, we've seen her.

You have?

Well, not right now,

but, uh, the other night she got in,

and she nearly scared me to death.

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

I try not to let her out,

but, you know,

she still thinks Mrs. Gitchell owns

the house, and, uh, you know.

Uh, l, you know,

she, she had a lot of cats,

and she gave me a couple

just before she, her son put her in...

uh, are you okay?

No.

[Breathing heavily]

I was... yes, l, just a minute ago

l, I was in there and--

I'm sorry, what were you saying?

Mrs. Gitchell gave you--

Yeah, a couple of her cats.

I mean, she had about 20 of them,

uh, she was a batty old thing.

Why?

Well, l, you know, I only moved

in here a couple of years ago,

but, uh, you know,

she never came out of the house.

She used to stay in there,

and, you know,

even in the middle of the night

you'd see all the lights blazing.

And, and I'd hear her in there

screamin', talkin' to herself.

And I'd come over, you know,

just to make sure she was okay.

Even then, she never let me inside.

Then, of course, the, the kids

all started talkin' about that.

They would?

Well, you know how kids are.

You know, they got an old house,

an old lady livin' in it,

so they, they say she's a witch,

you know, things like that.

[Laughs]

You know kids.

I imagine your daughter's

the same way.

What are you talking about?

Oh, uh, isn't that your daughter,

uh, the girl I saw in the window

lookin' down?

Where?

Well, uh, right up, right up there.

I saw her lookin' in the window

down here just before you ran out.

Sweetheart, are you okay?

But...

Uh, it was almost

seven months ago,

and we had just gotten back from

a recital that my daughter had given,

and I heard the dog barking,

and, you know, my daughter,

she loved that dog so much,

so we think that maybe

she went down and let him in.

And then she vanished.

And it was ten days

before we knew where she was.

NEIL:
But you did find her.

Well, we didn't.

We had a lot of strangers

helping us look for her,

and two of them found her.

They were two kids

that lived not that far away,

and one of them was the one

that killed her.

[Gasps]

Oh, my God!

Guys, we found her!

Oh, no!

Oh, no! Oh, God!

Oh, no!

Oh! Oh!

[Cries]

He had molested

other kids in the past,

and he was a minor at the time,
