Bethlehem, O Bethlehem
I toke the week off work after Cisco told me to check up on a lead in Bethlehem, PA. You thought I was going to Palestine didn't you?
Bethlehem is one of those former steel glory towns that watched it's money wash on down the rivers to another state. Blue collar break down.
I did some research before I went to the address. Didn't want to get, I don't know, shocked by flooding memories or blankness.
I went to the public library and looked up newspapers and articles from around the time the missing persons report was filed.
Sam Conners of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania was almost a fucking ghost in this town before he disappeared.
The following is a direct quote:
Dateline 2/14/2004
A missing persons report was filed last Wednesday for one Sam Conners. His sister, Deborah Grimmit of Morgantown, WV, states that the last time she heard from Sam was when called to wish her Merry Christmas and that he was going to be spending it in Bethlehem with his girlfriend, Naomi Rose. Mrs. Grimmitt filed the missing person report due to lack of communication with Sam after the holiday.
A photo was not able to be supplied to the police nor this reporter as Mrs. Grimmit could not locate one. She describes Sam Conners as a white male, 6' 2" with black hair and thin frame. Mrs. Grimmit also stated that she had not seen him in over 10 years.
Police Officials at this time have no comment.
So this chick filed a missing person report on a brother she hasn't seen in a decade because he didn't call her.
That's it. I don't even know what would cause Cisco to even give this to me. My real life detective show is fucking lame. The address I assume is the girlfriend's house. I'm going there in the morning.
To kill time tonight I saw that some movie called Star Wars is on TBS. Rog is always talking about that flick and constantly calling me a fag for not remembering it.
