Rest of our lives. A perfect life until she disappeared. Imagine you were calling, leaving messages. Calling, texting, and we started wondering. Why would she just leave . I called her Best Friend and said does she have a man . Where would she go . Why did someone she know own her slice of paradise . He got away with murder . He got away with murder.
