As the months go by, Daisy’s community grows impatient and decides to take matters into their own hands. If the police won’t identify a suspect, then they’ll do it themselves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Daisy’s friends remember her as a tough but caring, big-hearted teenager who overcame significant obstacles from a young age. She always put on a smile no matter what, was quick to lend a hand to those in need, and often prioritized her friends and loved ones’ problems before her own. But her life began to change in high school, and before anyone realized the extent of it, she’d found herself in horrible danger.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
