She hadn't turned up home, she hadn't returned any texts or calls or anything.

So police put together a search team who all went out manually looking for Anna alongside a lot of her friends and family as well.

They were all jumping in their cars and going to all the places that Anna frequently went to see if she was at any of them.

They had a bunch of her family members back at home calling everyone she knew, friends, family, literally anyone, people from school, teachers, anyone.

But none of them knew anything.

None of them had seen her.

She hadn't been in contact with anyone.

She hadn't gone to anyone's house.

It was literally like she disappeared off the face of the earth.

So on this second day of the investigation, the detectives decided it would be useful to go back and interview Boy B once again, because the first time they felt they didn't quite get everything from him, he was very nervous, which I suppose most kids would be if police are knocking on your door and questioning you in your living room.

I think, suspicious or not, I think most kids would be nervous, so it might take a couple of questionings to get them to open up and talk a lot more freely about it.

So the police went down a second time.

And you know what?

It worked because he told them a lot more than he did the first time.

This time, he actually told them the reason why he was even going to meet Anna in the first place that night, the reason he went and called for her and took her to the park.

He said that the reason he did it was on behalf of his friend, who is known in this case as Boy A. Boy B said that Anna Krijal had a huge crush on Boy A.

but A didn't quite feel the same way.

In fact, he was quite weirded out by the crush.

It made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

So on this particular day, boy B went over to Anna Creasle's home to get her and bring her to the park to meet with boy A so that he could let her down gently, he said.
