Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 On February 2, 2012, Samantha Koenig, a popular high school senior, disappeared. She had been working a coffee kiosk alone the night before, and had sent some angry texts to her boyfriend.#2 The first rule of any investigation is to keep an open mind. You don’t try to fit a personal theory to a possible crime. Payne knew this, and he knew that the police never even taped off the kiosk when Samantha was reported missing.#3 The video showed a man pushing his way through the kiosk’s serving window and pouncing on Samantha. He was very tall and very composed, and he seemed to know what he was doing.#4 The first working theory was that Samantha was not a victim. The department didn’t want to tell the press that, but their response made that clear. They didn’t plan to go public with Samantha’s disappearance.
