Mapping the Timeline:
Geography is everything in this case. We have mapped out the key locations, search sectors, and critical areas of interest to help you visualize the physical footprint of the investigation.
We are sharing these detailed maps and archival photos not just to guide your listening, but to reinvigorate thirty-year-old memories. If you lived in the area or traveled these roads three decades ago, seeing these locations as they were might spark a forgotten detail, a misplaced timeline, or a conversation you once overheard. Take a look, step back into the grid of that week, and help us piece together the map that brings Hazel home.
