The story starts as follows:
\n<\/strong>I don\u2019t know who I\u2019m writing this for, can\u2019t say who I expect to read it. Not the police, anyway. I don\u2019t know what happened to my brother, and I can\u2019t tell them where he is. Nothing I could put down here would help them find him. And anyway, this isn\u2019t really about his disappearance\u2026 although it\u00a0does<\/em>\u00a0concern a missing person, and I\u2019d be lying if I said I didn\u2019t think the two things had anything to do with each other. I have never told anyone what I know about Edward Prior, who left schoool one October day in 1977, and never arrived home for chilli and baked potatoes with Mom.<\/p>\n
