Nicole  Morris
“I knew something was wrong the minute he didn’t come home,’ says Jo. ‘He always rang. Always.
Jo is adamant he would have found a way to call her and let her know what was happening. ‘He would have found a phone and rung me. He had every intention of coming home.”
Nicole Morris, Vanished: True Stories from Families of Australian Missing Persons

Dean Koontz
“Lem felt sick, not merely because of what had happened to Wes Dalberg but because of all the deaths yet to come. He was proud of both his management and investigatory skills, and he knew he could handle this case better than anyone else. But he was also a hardheaded pragmatist, incapable of underestimating the enemy or of pretending there would be a quick ending to this nightmare. He would need time and patience and luck to track down the killer, and meanwhile more bodies would pile up.”
Dean Koontz, Watchers
