Have you ever lost a friend? If so, what happened?

A young man moved to our tiny rural community ib Pennsylvania. He liked me, but he was four or five years older and my folks wouldn't let me date him.

i introduced him to my best friend and they were soon inseparable. She got pregnant, they moved in with his parents and soon I couldn't even get her on the phone.

One August morning, State Police came to our house to say she was missing. Did I know where she might go? I didn't.

My family and I joined the search party and we found her - still alive - in an abandoned barn. She wasn't talking, and they asked me to try. She was bruised, wearing an old overcoat, and stone-faced. She wouldn't talk to me either. Her parents said she wouldn't have anything to do with them.

Almost immediately, she had a baby boy and she vanished from the hospital.

A year and a half later, I got a letter from her.

She was living in Tempe, Arizona, had just finished a secretarial course and landed a job, had her own apartment. She was jubilant. She would write soon and explain everything.

Instead she was found hanging from a light fixture in her apartment.

I am as sure as I am of anything that he killed her.

@Mamapolo2016 Yes, something terrible happened through him. Obvious as day. How sad. She was too frightened to speak by the sound of it, desperate to start a new life without the chance of her husband finding her. You made an escape due to your parents, otherwise it could have been you.
@BalthazarBlake Yessir. My family would have come to rescue me if necessary. Hers didn't.
