Well, I was in the grades between Austin's and his sister, Aidan's, at Albuquerque Academy. I can't say I ever really knew Austin, but I'd seen him around a lot and, as a friend of Aidan's and her whole friend group in the grade below us, my heart just froze when I read that a boy in Chicago with the last name of Hudson-LaPore went missing. This particularly jump-started my heart because just the week prior, a friend of mine from Coe College (where I am currently) who lives in Chicago had posted about the police digging out a human limb from the lake near her house. I cannot even express how worried I was to hear that Austin had gone missing, and I followed the story intently.
