At 12:34 she parked in front of the bank. She made a deposit of $1,356.47 to the joint account she shared with her husband, Anthony. Fron there, she walked to the library to drop off some books and checked out the newest Larry McMrutry novel. The librarian had been holding it for her since Wednesday. Then she stopped by the grocery. Amy, the high school clerk, tried to help her find gorgonzola; she wanted it for a recipe. The store didn't have any, but Amy put it on the list for their next order. Jessica headed back to her car. The security camera at the bank watched her pull away. It was the last anyone saw of her.
In cities, these things happened all the time. But in the small, tight-knit community of Jackson, Jessica's disappearance was sensational. People in Jackson had no secrets. When everyone knew more about your business than you did, it was impossible to have any. So how could someone just disappear?
