The call comes in to a Florida towing company from a special agent with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. A British woman named Sonia Exelby has been reported missing and possibly suicidal. She flew into Gainesville three days ago, rented a car heading south, and her banking records show a declined charge at the towing company's number. The tow truck driver remembers her: she broke down, he changed her tire, and she asked to be transported somewhere else — but the payment declined. When asked where she was going, she wouldn't say. She was "very secretive about everything."
What follows is an interrogation transcript that reveals a far darker story than a routine missing persons case. The man sitting across from the detective is Dwayne, the last person known to have been with Sonia Exelby before she vanished.
