Connie Robinson stood impatiently, tapping her foot as she waited for the camera crew to finish setting up their equipment. She glanced around Stratton Point and let out a sigh of frustration at the milling crowds of interested onlookers gathering behind her crew. 'Geez,' she thought, 'can't these people find anything better to do than try to get onto the local news, why don't they go back to their beach towels and ice cream bars and let me get my damn job done with!!'
"Alrite, Con, we're ready for you," her main camera man called out. Her makeup artist ran up to her quickly and checked her for stray hairs and any other flaws that Connie refused to have. After he gave her a thumbs up and headed back to the van, Connie gave her shoulders a slight shrug, tossed her hair, and turned towards the camera directed towards her face.
The red light blinked. "Good morning, this is Connie Robinson with CBC News. I am standing at Stratton Point, where police officers have found the missing girl's car. Late last evening, Anna Sophia Lockwood's family was killed in a car accident that shut down Grand Avenue for over two hours. Officers went to the Lockwood residence to inform Miss Lockwood of the tragic event, and they said that she was very distraught. Those same officers went to check on her early this morning after there was no answer when they called the house, and the young girl was not at the house. Suspecting something was wrong, the entire unit was dispatched to search for Lockwood. Her car has been found here, at Stratton Point, a popular spot for locals. Sheriff Garder says that foul play has not been ruled out, and the search continues for the the girl. There has been no evidence of suicide, but un-named officers say that it would not surprise them, judging by the way she had reacted the night before. Thus raises the question of why she was left alone after such a traumatic event. If anyone has seen Anna Sophia Lockwood, or if they know of her whereabouts, please call the CBC station for further details. We will continue to update you on the hour, every hour, as the search continues for Lockwood. This is Connie Robinson, and you are watching CBC News."
The camera light blinked off. "Good job, Connie!" the crew called out. "Yeah, whatever. Someone go grab me a coffee," she muttered. In the background, there were rescue teams hunting across the ground, and search boats in the water.
