Carter promptly forwarded Alice's details to me. Since her disappearance had been prolonged, the records

were sparse.

The picture attached to the file was an old first-grade ID photo, taken several years back. The image lacked sharpness and detail, providing only a faint outline of Her features.

Her background information was minimal: She had left behind few traces, fitting the typical profile of an illegitimate child.
