7th June 2016
We've been going through everything again.
And I mean everything.
Old receipts, diaries, bank statements, phone bills. Even scraps of paper that most people would have thrown away.
Sarah found a notebook belonging to Daniel. Most of it is ordinary stuff. Shopping lists, passwords with half the letters missing, notes about things he needed to fix.
But towards the back there are several pages of numbers.
Some are crossed out. Others have been circled.
We're not sure what they mean.
One of the other families noticed something interesting in their phone records. Their son received several calls from a withheld number in the days after he disappeared.
Daniel had similar calls.
So did Josh.
That doesn't necessarily mean anything. We all get nuisance calls.
But the timing is odd.
We've put together a spreadsheet with dates, times and anything unusual we can find.
Martin, whose daughter disappeared, has been helping. He's very organised. He says we need to stop relying on memory and start recording everything properly.
He's probably right.
The hardest part is looking through Josh's things.
I keep finding ordinary little reminders of him.
A cinema ticket. A receipt for petrol. A note he'd written reminding himself to buy milk.
Sometimes I forget what I'm supposed to be looking for.
I just sit there holding something he touched.
We're going to keep going.
Even if all we find is more questions.
