Partial transcript from After the Carver Special Announcement 2
[Soft ominous music fades in, then lowers to a quiet hum beneath the voice]
FREYA:
Hi, everyone.
As most of you know by now, my best friend and co-host, Kennedy Campbell, has been missing for five days. Someone tried to make it look like she left on her own, but it didn’t take long for the truth to come out.
She was abducted.
This morning, I received an anonymous package. Inside was a USB drive and a note that said: ‘Play this on your show, or there will be serious consequences.’
I gave it to the police immediately. Their tech analysts reviewed the recording and confirmed that it’s real.
I never thought I’d have to do something like this, but if there’s even the slightest chance it could help bring Kennedy home, then obviously I’ll do it. So I’m going to play the recording for all of you in a moment.
If any listeners out there think they might know something or can potentially help out in some way—please, please contact the hotline the local police have set up. I’ll put those contact details at the end of the episode, and they’re also available on the show’s website.
Now, without further ado, this is what was on the recording:
[Short pause, followed by a beep]
Hi everyone. My name is Kennedy Campbell.
Five days ago, I was taken from my home by a masked man. I still don’t know who he is, but he’s told me the truth about the Carver case. The truth about who really did it.
It’s shocking. Almost impossible to believe. But he’s shown me undeniable proof. So I believe him, one hundred percent. And soon, you will too, because the truth will be revealed to the world in just a few days.
For now, I have to say something very important.
Mark Campbell—Dad—please listen to this very carefully. I know you’re still out there. I know you’re hiding. But this masked man really does know everything. He knows exactly what happened.
You have to come back to Corwin Bay. Go to the secret fishing spot you used to take me to when I was a child. Be there at midnight on August 22nd.
If you don’t… this man is going to kill me.
