"Harriet went missing sometime around 3:00 that afternoon" (117).
Harriet went missing sometime around 3:00 that afternoon. At about 2:55 she was seen by Pastor Falk, who was hurrying to the bridge. At almost exactly the same time a photographer arrived from the local paper, and for the next hour he too a great number of pictures of the drama…"These are pictures from that day. The first one was taken in Hedestad during the Children's Day parade. The same photographer took it around 1:15 p.m., and Harriet s there in it…That's Harriet. It's about two hours before she will disappear; she's with some of her schoolfriends in town. This is the last picture taken of her"" (117-118).
Being very clear and concise is helpful to finding a missing person. Putting all of the known clues together in order is an effective way in retracing one's steps and potentially finding more clues. It is often said that a person's actions and whereabouts 48 hours before they go missing are a big hint to where they could be. Vanger is lucky in this case that he has photographic evidence of where his niece was, just hours before she disappeared. Although it doesn't help him until Mikael Blomkvist comes along, it is at least a start in his very lengthy personal investigation.
When a person goes missing:
When someone goes missing, there's always a chance that they will never be found. Police, friends, family and investigators work for some time to find this missing person, but sometimes it's just not enough. Here are some tips of what to do if someone you know has gone missing:
1. Call the police; notify enforcement that someone you know is missing. They will tell other police and be on lookout, which may bring your missing friend home sooner.
2. Check the person's last known address; you may be able to find some helpful clues or hints that leads you to the missing person. Also noticing what they might have taken or if anything is out of the ordinary will be helpful for police and their investigation.
3. Contact all friends and family; get the word out that someone is missing! Put up fliers around town, and over social medias. All that will do is help; the more people know, the better. Usually someone knows something- people don't go missing for no reason, try to find answers.
4. Never give up; until you know for certain what happened, do not give up! The missing person could still be out there! Live hopeful that they are okay and at peace, wherever they may be. Always remember them and never stop looking.
