Think back to 2000, of course.
This was 25 years ago.
Warren is a small town.
I think a lot of people kid themselves, but they think these things don't happen in a small town.
I think that, sadly, they didn't have a plan in place.
I don't think it occurred to anyone this would happen.
In fact, with hindsight, you look back, she actually had a police radio that she went to pick up, and she's supposed to call in and check in, and I don't think anybody noticed that she didn't or didn't.
It's possible she never got a chance to because we do know that whatever happened to her happened to her within minutes, a very short period of time.
I have to agree with you, Anne-Marie.
That was concerning.
I was a lifeguard many years before that, and I was never alone.
Not because anyone feared I was going to get kidnapped, but because if I had to go inβand I did have to do that once, go in for a childβ
Someone else has to be there to call the alarm, to help me bring the child in if the child needs CPR, anything like that.
So it really surprised me that she would be alone there.
Well, according to Maggie, here's this man sitting in this white car.
Usually families go there to go swimming, and he's just sitting there smoking a cigarette with his left hand.
Clearly, it was a little bit of mother's instinct and just like concern, why is he there?
She tried to put it out of her head, but it just kept bugging her.
So that night, she was concerned enough that she raised it with Molly.
And Molly, just as 16-year-olds might do, said, oh, mom, he's probably a fisherman.
