The phone in particular points to the fact that a person involved is sixteen year old Jesse Sweetland, arguably the best hockey player his age in town, he who has now been reported officially missing. Some within the police department initially don't take Jesse's disappearance too seriously if only because he, ...

In the continuing investigation of Jesse's disappearance, Annie has been receiving messages from the unknown person who tormented her with riddles when she was a child following the death of her father. Beyond the evidence gleaned thus far from those riddles, Peter does not want Annie following any of those leads, knowing how traumatized she was as a child from those riddles.

The latest evidence discovered in Jesse's murder points to known but never charged or thus convicted ecstasy manufacturer "Rainmaker" Jed Martin, who, despite not being indigenous, lives on the rez due to his largely absent wife being First Nations.

Annie is now certain that Jesse's death has some connection to Sandy's death. With what she now knows, Annie figures the next logical step is to review her father's old evidence, the new and the old which she hopes will fill in the missing pieces.

The stories of three of those initially questioned by the police in Jesse's death now have holes in they purposefully lying in their official statements. They are requestioned with each detective taking one of the three. Those new stories do corroborate each other, especially in the fact that all three were with Jesse together the night that she died, which either means they were able to discuss this new story ahead of time, or that they are now telling the truth, the latter which the detectives believe. In further investigating the story, Annie believes there was a ...
