In the spring of 2013, hikers walking in the mountains came across human remains. It was Dylan. Experts determined that his death was violent. Blunt force traces were found on his skull.
– Is that him? – Elaine asked with a tremor in her voice when she was informed of the discovery.
– ‘Yes, we confirm,’ the detective replied. – We’ll continue the investigation.
Elaine burst into tears at the terrible news. She had blamed Mark from the beginning, but now she had reason to be suspicious. Investigators have noticed Mark’s strange behavior – his lack of cooperation, his attempts to avoid questions about the night of his son’s disappearance.
– Why won’t you answer our questions? – the sheriff asked sternly.
– I already told you everything! – Mark exploded. – It’s not my fault he left!
– Are you sure you’re not hiding anything? – The other detective asked, staring at him intently.
– Yes! Enough already! – Mark ran out of the room, slamming the door.
But the strangest thing came later. They found photographs in Mark’s house that shocked even experienced detectives. They shed light on the motive that could have led to this tragedy.
On the evening of the discovery, one of the police officers in the house said he heard someone calling him from an empty room.
– Hey! Who’s there? – he called out as he went inside. But there was no one there.
– I don’t like this,” he admitted to his colleagues later. – I’m sure I heard the boy’s voice.
From that moment on, the investigation took a sinister turn.
