Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 273 Missing You
"
Jennifer Gray couldn't get the San Joa county sheriffs' interested in looking for her daughter. They took all her information, but she knew they wouldn't do shit to find Megan. To them, she was just another junkie that hadn't called her mother in a couple of days. She explained that her daughter had called her at the same time of day every day for the past five years. If she couldn't call she would text her. The two officers exchanged looks and she knew they didn't believe her. She was just another desperate mother lying to get them to look for her kid.
She loved her daughter and her being a junkie didn't diminish her love one bit. One day Megan was going to get clean and have a great life if she could just stay alive long enough.
Her church friends and neighbors passed out flyers at grocery stores, put them on cars and stapled them to poles. She had gotten a disposable phone to use just for tips on Megan. She'd gotten some crank calls who promised information for money, some leads that had turned into nothing and some leads that broke her heart because they had given her hope that her daughter was still alive.
Megan wouldn't be found for another fourteen months when two girls from a middle school class were taking a nature field trip and found her under a pile of dead flowers and vegetation. The sunlight caught the light of a silver chain Megan had received for Christmas one year. The girls moved the brush and debris only to discover Megan's skeletonized remains.
All the counseling the school system provided would never erase that grisly day from those young girls' minds.
