Police believe a teenage girl who was last seen more than a month ago may have been waiting for an ride from her boyfriend.

Daphne Blake, from Coolsville, Ohio, had been reported missing from her townhouse mansion by her family.

The sixteen-year-old was last seen in the city’s Fifth Street on September 13th.


Coolsville Police Department said it is understood she does have access to a vehicle and would not hitchhike.

She has only recently been reported missing after concerns were raised by her family and closest friends.

Ms. Blake is described to be five foot seven, of small build with red/ginger hair, which is considerably long and full of waves.

She has violet toned eyes, an American accent and when last seen was wearing a purple knit dress with a matching headband and shoes, a lime green scarf, and pink stockings.

The family of a young woman who disappeared on Fifth Street in Coolsville, Ohio twenty years ago has made a fresh appeal for information.

Daphne Blake, who was sixteen at the time, was pictured on CCTV leaving the Go Mart shortly after nine o’clock in the thirteenth of September, 1969.

Police have now also released footage of her with friends.

Her father, George R. Blake, described the twentieth anniversary of her disappearance to be “exceptionally hard”.


On the night she was last seen, she had attended her own party, before traveling to the Go Mart with her boyfriend, Frederick Jones, and friends in a large van.

Reissued CCTV footage shows Daphne standing outside the convenience store for a brief period before walking toward the parking lot.

Despite extensive searches and public appeals by Daphne’s family and police, she has not been seen or heard from since.

When last seen, she was observed leaving the passenger side of a large, green and blue van, to purchase a bag of dog treats, by the label of Doggy Snacks.

Police have now issued earlier footage of Daphne from 1969, in an effort to reach anyone who may recognize her.

On Wednesday, family and friends gathered in Coolsville to release purple balloons to mark the twentieth year anniversary.

Mr. Blake has said, “Dealing with the previous anniversaries was difficult enough, but this one seems exceptionally hard. It just feels like she walked out the door yesterday, it’s so vivid. People will think it’s been a long time, which it has been, but to my family it’s like it only happened yesterday. When you go to bed at night and when you wake in up the morning, all you do is think about Daphne. There’s no escape. You just want to know what’s happened to him her, where she is, and does anyone know anything about her? If they do, please come forward and end this nightmare for our family. To live a life like that, and not know what’s happened to your child, is horrendous.”

Rather, Detective Inspector Kevin Holt, of Coolsville Police Department, has announced, “We’ve issued video footage of Daphne taken in 1969 in hope that this helps to jog the memory of anyone who may have seen her after she left the Go Mart. We continue to ask for the public’s help and I would urge local residents to think back to early September 1969.”

The remains of what is confirmed to be the Daphne Blake was discovered Friday morning, after she was originally reported as a missing person nearly fifty years before.

The corpse of the adolescent was found by searchers, who were looking for another missing person, her body submerged under fifteen feet of water in Coolsville Lake.

The case began on September 14th, 1969, when the CPD put out a bulletin regarding Daphne’s missing status. She was last seen at nine o’clock near the local Go Mart on Interstate Fifty, where detectives believe she was looking for a ride home with friends.

Lieutenant Josefin Gonzaga, with the Coolsville Police and Fire Department, says she happened to be presumed dead before she was assumably thrown into the lake.

The CPD have considered this case to now be a homicide investigation, because they are the originating agency on the initial case of a missing person.

Coolsville Police Department, in a statement, said that they believe foul play to have been a factor in this case.

These teens happen to meet during an coincidental detention, when a fight breaks out and they are caught in the middle of it. For what they will soon of the learn about the murder of Daphne Blake will bring them together, leading the group to reluctantly join up, to solve the murder of what was another teen sleuth.

HISTORY (BACKSTORY) Born from a family of lawyers in the city of Seattle, Washington, Tabitha grew up a quiet and reserved child, obedient to follow her family’s rules and restrictions. Her parents realized she was quite an intelligent girl, as she had received the best of grades (#whycan’tthisbeme). Once entering grade six, she was often teased for the large glasses and metal headset she had happened to wear at the time. She would cry when she felt she was ugly or disgusting (DISGUSTAANG) to the people around her and would often blame herself for other’s doings. One day, her emotions seemed to hinder flowing in public. No one truly knows why. Did she cry her emotions away? Nevertheless, she failed to react to the teasing ever again. With that, she was able to prove her worth without realizing so by advancing throughout the ranks of her school, and was then considered to be the smartest girl in the entire state. That was, until she was forced to move at the beginning of her first year of high school, where she was forced to claw from the pit of hierarchies once more. Once moving schools, she had evolved from the large glasses into contact lenses, and her braces have since been removed, though she still happens to carry the glasses with her to this very day. It is rumored if you get close enough to her, that she might just open up to you.

She had heard of the case of Daphne Blake through the constant bickering of her parents. Her interest was sparked almost immediately, and she dove into quite the tale, learning of the Mystery Gang and their legacy. She can often be found in the school library, flipping through the pages of the town’s books, searching for a answer to this question. Who murdered Daphne Blake?

— MENTAL DISORDERS (OPTIONAL) Has a Social Anxiety Disorder, which contributes to fidgeting and is extremely jump-scare-able. (Those are words, right?)

FEARS AND OR PHOBIAS Tabitha has the fears of drowning, heights, and clowns. Her phobias are claustrophobia, nyctophobia, and the phobia of dying or death. She has always feared not being able to live up to the standards of others.

RELATIONSHIPS

— CURRENT STATUS Single.

— CRUSH To be determined.

— PAST RELATIONSHIPS She has never once dated, for boys thought she was rather hideous. Tabitha once fell in love with a boy in grade seven, yet once he found out, he used this information to spread quite fake rumors about her. Some are even brought up to this day.

~ HISTORY ~
— BACKSTORY
Having been a part of the foster system for as long as she can remember, Rags remembers very little about her birth parents. In her eyes, though, that's a non issue; aside from a small hiccough in her preteens, she has been entirely content with her situation. Especially for the past four years, which she has spent in Coolsville under the care of the kindly but eccentric Ms Smyth. It's from Ms Smyth that Rags adopted most of her mannerisms; the ageing woman is the undeniable product of America's climate in the 60s, a whirlwind of tye die, outdated phrases and, of course, marijuana.


Rags thinks the world of her.

Brutus, too, has been a massively influential part of her life. She came across the Irish Wolfhound, then barely a puppy, at 12 years old. Her housing situation at that point was unfortunate, and she felt almost as homeless as the lost pup. This, in her young mind, sparked an immediate kinship between the two, and with time (and a considerable amount of stolen food) they grew close. It was hard to keep a 3 foot mutt a secret, especially when she was hurriedly whisked away from that home and taken to Ms Smyth, but the dog had a skilled tracking nose on him and always found his way to her eventually.

She thinks the world of him too.

Daphne Blake is a name familiar to her. How can it not be, with all the recent coverage? Being relatively new to the town, though, she finds it difficult to connect with the case the way everyone else does. Besides, murder? Is something she intends to steer clear of.

FEARS AND OR PHOBIAS
Rags will steer clear of anything dark, spooky or dangerous, though she honestly believes that’s less fear than self preservation. If something dangerous is one way, you run the other way. It’s common sense.

[/div]
[div class=titleblock]history.[/div][div class=textbox] Backstory:
Ben grew up in a small suburb of Columbus where he led a fairly normal life. He played little league baseball, caught bugs in the summer, and won 3rd place medals at school spelling bees. His father fixed roofs and painted houses, his mother edited audio files at a local broadcasting station, and they all lived in a little house at the bottom of a hill together. On the outside, Ben's life seemed simple and suburban. On the inside, he wished it actually was.

Ben's mother, Amy, filed for two things in court during the summer of 2008: a divorce and a restraining order. Ben's father had been struggling with alcoholism and anger management for over a decade: taking much of his frustration out through physical and emotional abuse. It had become increasingly difficult over the years for them to keep up their charade as a healthy family. Underneath the baseball games and barbecues and carpools was a dark secret waiting to worm its way out: and Amy couldn't keep it any longer. She had hoped and prayed that her husband would learn to better himself, but she finally had enough. Ben had always carried a bruise or a scrape from his father's attacks, but that summer marked the first time that it had actually sent him to the hospital for stitches. They were both tired of making up excuses: blaming it on baseball practice or a minor kitchen accident. So Ben's mother scraped up enough money and resources to get them out of their little house at the bottom of the hill: settling in with Ben's grandparents in the town of Coolsville, Ohio. Coolsville was where Amy had grown up: filled with good memories of malt milkshakes and park swings.

The last time Ben had seen his father was the night he was thrown to the ground. His last memory was a fist to his face and his mother pleading with him to stop. The next thing he could remember was the blinding white of hospital lights and Ben hasn't seen his father since. He was eight years-old.

It was hard at first: there wasn't much work for a sound engineer out in Coolsville and Amy struggled with finding a stable job. She felt relieved to have her parents back in her life: watching her son when she was out at work and cooking him meals that weren't just soggy bowls instant ramen or mac n' cheese. It took a while, but they pushed through. His mother worked odd jobs for a bit, Ben made new friends at school, and the family would go out for milkshakes every Saturday. He joined a little league baseball team, he caught bugs in the summer, he won a third place medal at his school spelling bee. Ben's life had finally become simple and suburban.

A few days before Ben's 10th birthday, his mother came home ecstatic with news of the Coolsville local radio station putting up an ad for a sound technician. She was given the position in a heart beat and finally started making enough money to support her family. It was here at the radio station that Amy met a local radio personality named Cliff Hardy and, no doubt breaking several workplace rules and policies, started a romantic relationship with him. They met in the break room over weak coffee and box of old donuts: Cliff made her laugh and Amy made him stutter. You can guess what happens next.

Ben had never been a ring-bearer before. He had seen his cousin do it for his uncle's wedding a long time ago and he didn't think it would be that difficult of a role. Nonetheless, after dropping the rings three times down the aisle, his mother and Cliff were married at the little baptist church she used to attend as a child. Ben liked Cliff, enough to take his last name as his own, but still hesitated to call him his father. Cliff made a good impression on Ben, being charismatic and confident, and immediately became a positive role model. He got Ben into football, took him out for burgers, and even let him announce upcoming tracks on his radio show during the weekends. He was also the one that introduced him to the Daphne Blake disappearance.

Though Cliff was primarily a disc-jockey, he was able to convince the station producers to let him broadcast a weekly news hours every Monday night. Most of the time it was just local news like high school football scores or small town business announcement, but every year he would do a special two hour-long recounting on the anniversary of Daphne Blake's disappearance. Cliff would conduct interviews, read police reports, and retell Daphne's final night in Coolsville before she up and vanished. Ben listened to every Monday night news hour, but he always looked forward to Daphne's special. Ever since his grandparents told him the story as a boy, he had always wondered what had happened to her. He'd search the internet for theories, retraced her steps on foot, and even did a report on it for a school project (He got an A on that, by the way). Daphne's case was what got him interested in true crime in the first place: she was a gateway into unsolved murders, serial killer profiles, and Ann Rule novels.

Eventually, Ben wanted to do his own version of the Daphne Blake disappearance. He, however, wanted to make it year round. Cliff acted on his stepson's passion for the case and encouraged him to follow through with his idea: getting him an old and unused recording room at the radio station. At 16 years-old, Ben started Searching: a bi-monthly true-crime podcast that does a deep dive on Daphne Blake's case. His mother thinks it's an odd hobby to have in between football games and night-outs with his friends, but it could be worse couldn't it? Ben could be smoking pot or having unprotected sex as opposed to researching old newspaper clippings at the Coolsville library. She just hopes that her son, who she has worked so hard to support and protect, doesn't stumble into anything sinister...
[/div]
[div class=titleblock]searching.[/div][div class=textbox] …Coolsville, no doubt you’ve already heard the news. How could you not have? It’s the only thing this town is known for besides its malted milkshakes and seasonal haunted houses.

We found her, Coolsville. After 50 years of searching we finally found her. Daphne Blake’s remains were found early Friday morning sitting under 15 feet of murky water in Coolsville Lake. This was her last stop on the Interstate Fifty.

Police Lieutenant Josefin Gonzaga, whom you may remember as the officer who forcibly removed me from my search for evidence off Interstate Fifty (admittedly past curfew…sorry again mom), reported that Daphne was believed to be dead before she was tossed into her final resting place.

No autopsy report has been released nor have there been any more details about the crime scene or further suspects in the case. The police department, however, did make a funny little statement: they suspect foul play.

Huh, isn’t that something Coolsville? Who has been suspecting foul play for the past year now? Who has been walking into the police station every month with possible leads and new information? They’ve called me a punk kid. They’ve told me not to meddle. They’ve been telling me to get lost since day one of the podcast: that I can’t just run an investigation after a second read-through of In Cold Blood.

Listen Coolsville, Truman Capote is overrated. This isn’t about me making content for Searching or getting viral views. This is about a girl who was brutally murdered. This is about a family who has lost a daughter, a community that has lost a member, and a group of friends who have a lost a greater part of themselves.

We found Daphne Blake, but that doesn’t mean it’s over. Her killer is still out there, Coolsville. We need to find them. We need to make sure they answer for what they did: to pay back what they took from our community in full. Who knows when they will strike again. Who knows if they already have. We can’t stop searching, Coolsville. We. Cannot. Stop.

And if you ever need me, well then you can find me in the back of the library or out on the Interstate Fifty. I'm gonna' keep looking for answers, Coolsville. I'm on my third read-through of In Cold Blood after all.

Till next time; Keep vigilant. Keep safe. Keep searching.

If Kendall doesn't talk your ear off about how in shape he is, he'll show you. The star quarterback of his high school's football team, Kendall is in peak physical shape. He's 6'3" of muscle able to run a 4.4 40 meter dash. That's in seconds, by the way.

HISTORY (BACKSTORY)
Kendall comes from a privileged family who resided in Berkeley, California. Born the only son in a sea of sisters, Kendall's father made sure to groom his only son to be a sports powerhouse. For the majority of his pre-adolescence, if a sport was in season, Kendall was playing it. When it became evident Kendall was more than gifted in football (just like his old man), he became focused on the sport, watching both college and professional ball religiously.

Eventually, came high school and with that came a high level of interest from college's in Kendall's abilities. His father uprooted his family from Berkeley and moved them to Coolsville in Ohio, for a better football program for Kendall. This caused a rift between his father and mother, making the adjustment of the move difficult for Kendall and his sisters. However, in the moment, Kendall still had football. Focusing instead on the sport, he quickly began making new friends and found new ways to cope with the drama surrounding his family.

The past year was not kind to Kendall mentally, though socially he considers it the best of his life. He's made plenty of friends, even jokingly calling himself, "the King of the Bros." He even started taking an interest into local news, specifically the Daphne Blake case that returned to prominence within the past few weeks. It's not as fun as drinking the night away, or partying with hot babes, but Kendall has been trading these activities to research the case, for some reason worried this could happen to his sisters or girlfriend. Why couldn't it after all? Berkeley might have been next to crime hot spot Oakland, but Coolsville is a quiet town in a flyover state. Kendall thinks that's what makes it dangerous.

FEARS AND OR PHOBIAS
Kendall absolutely hates water. Especially deep water. Hard to believe such an accomplished athlete can't swim, isn't it?

RELATIONSHIPS

— CURRENT STATUS
Dating, although its very tenuous. Who would have thought a cheerleader dating the star quarterback would be a drama filled relationship?

— CRUSH
None

— PAST RELATIONSHIPS
Kendall has had plenty of past relationships, though none of them worth mentioning or longer than three months. The most recent was with the soccer team's star player, but ended when Kendall punched her brother at Thanksgiving dinner.
