The Family Friend // 021

48-year old Dana Wilkes mysteriously vanished from Chattanooga, Tennessee the evening of Friday, November 9th - 2012.  A concerned family friend who was the last person to see her alive, turned out to have a dark past, and was hiding an even darker secret. A secret that police wouldn’t piece together until Dana’s badly mutilated body turned up two weeks later, in a spot eerily reminiscent of an unsolved 2002 homicide.
