Lily always like to camp alone;
it was an independence thing
to show she could do it.

She learned all about camping
from YouTube videos
and got quite good at it.

After she’d been camping for
there years, she decided to
try stealth camping.

She chose her stealth camp
location in a cemetery
on a full moon night.

She carried her gear through
the open gates and camped
in the middle of the cemetery.

Her plan was to leave right
before the light of dawn
exposed her tent.

But when the sun came up
her tent still stood without
her inside it.

Her purse and a change of
clothes where found folded
neatly inside her tent.

The police did many searches
for Lily, but they never
found her.

They even used search and
rescue dogs to try to
track her.

The dogs couldn’t get a
scent, and there were no
clues as to where she went.

It was as if Lily had
disappeared out of this world
on that full moon night.

That was ten years ago
and Lily’s whereabouts still
remains an unsolved mystery.
