The plot doesn't thicken

Yesterday Heather went out to join the search party for Bill and the police wouldn't let her. Instead they questioned her for three hours. They also came up to the farm here and tried to question me but fortunately I've only known these people for two weeks and I was useless. I asked the cop if he wanted me to take him up to Bill's old cabin in the woods. He looked at his clean shoes and asked me how far into the woods it was. When I told him it was only a ten minute walk, he declined. I love it. I actually forgot to mention that there's a dirt road he could have driven on that goes most of the way, further down the property.

Mark and I did go up to look at Bill's cabin yesterday, just because it made sense to have a peek. Once we got up there we kept on feeling obligated to look for "clues". It was a bit foolish.

I had a big post written, but Mark said not to post much more about all this stuff in case it turns into a criminal investigation. Then I'd be like, hey, check out my personal blog! I've been talking all about everything on it, like an idiot!

Unfortunately, despite all the rigmarole (and there's a lot of it), Bill has not been found yet.

When Heather arrived home after dark yesterday, we tried our best to distract her from her own thoughts. The three of us ended up in front of the computer looking at rural Nova Scotia properties for sale. Heather was absolutely overwhelmed that you can get giant pieces of land for cheap, cheap, cheap in Nova Scotia. There were about twenty that we looked at that we all said, "oh my god, look how good this one is, this is the one WE HAVE TO GET". Then we'd find a better one. Heather was blown away! She is half convinced that she needs to go live in Cape Breton and fall in love with a Canadian man.

That's really all there is to say right now. It would be amazing if Bill turned up alive, but at this point people are just hoping he turns up at all. It's sad. We still don't know when we're leaving here. I'll wait and see if there is any news today, and we'll see what Heather's plans are for the next few days. How long do search parties search? What if they don't find anything?
