🎧 Chapter 40: The Final Trace of Fauna Frey

Just days after the sudden death of her brother, Fauna Frey set out on what she told her father would be a simple trip—one last mission to deliver her brother’s silver coins to his friends.

But somewhere along the winding roads of southern Oregon… the story began to drift.

Then Fauna vanished.

Months later, her Jeep was discovered hidden deep off a remote logging road—locked, abandoned, and surrounded by wilderness.

Her purse was missing.The silver was gone.And Fauna Frey had disappeared without a trace.

Did grief lead her to walk away from everything she knew?Or did someone see an opportunity… and make sure she never came back?
