Stranger Things Are Afoot...

So you remember that girl in the photo from last post?
Well, I went looking for her. To see if I could track down the coat owner.

And I regret this choice.

Hawkins in a small town and most people have been here forever, so I asked around.
There was an old dude at The Palace Arcade that I talked to.
His name's like...Keith or something? Guess he owns the place.

So I asked him first who the photo might be of and he made this slightly more angry face than usual and stuffed a chip in his mouth.

"Looks like Barb." Was all he said before he walked off. I'm like...who is Barb?! What do I doooo with this infooo?!

I got home and jumped on the computer to search up 'Barb Hawkins Indiana' and an obituary came up for a girl that went missing in 1983 and I guess was found dead?? Apparently the last place she was seen, alive, was at some douchebag's house while he was having a get together.

The report mentioned a pool.
Like.
Is this the same pool?
Did I just faceplant into some age old conspiracy?!
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS NONSENSE.

I'm going to do more digging now that I have a few names to follow. Nancy Wheeler, Steve Harrington...I hope this isn't that dickwad's coat or I'm burning it. And IF THIS PHOTO IS OF A MURDER I'M TURNING IT IN. I'm not joking. I'm stressed out and worried that I may have just stumbled across some sort of murder conspiracy plot. I'm freaking out.

I don't even know anymore.
So here's a photo and a quote from the obituary:

"Barb was kind, just and loyal. I'm not sure why anyone would want to hurt such a gentle spirit."
