28th April 2015
I nearly deleted the email.
It was from a woman called Sarah. She said her younger brother, Daniel, had been missing since March and that she'd found this blog while searching for information about people who'd disappeared in similar circumstances.
I wasn't sure what to say.
She'd written a lot about Daniel. He'd been excited about a new job, apparently. Something technical. He'd told his mum it was a brilliant opportunity but wouldn't say much more.
Then one day he just stopped answering his phone.
Sarah said she'd contacted me because Daniel had mentioned a place called Site 42.
I've never heard of it.
She wanted to know if Josh had ever said anything about it. I've been going through old messages and emails, but so far there's nothing.
I don't want to get carried away. There are probably hundreds of people who disappear every year, and not every case is connected.
But reading her email was strange.
Somebody else understands what it's like to keep ringing a number even though you know nobody's going to answer.
We're meeting for coffee on Saturday.
I'm nervous, which is ridiculous really.
I suppose I just don't want either of us to end up more disappointed than we already are.
I'll write again afterwards.
