You can’t ever know for sure what happens behind closed doors. . . . Everyone from Wakarusa, Indiana, remembers the infamous case of January Jacobs, who was discovered in a ditch hours after her family awoke to find her gone. Margot Davies was six at the time, the same age as January―and they were next-door neighbors. In the twenty years since, Margot has grown up, moved away, become a big-city journalist.
