Long Time Gone
About This Book
Sloan Hastings has just begun an elite two-year fellowship when she is given a research assignment in forensic genealogy, the fast-developing science behind recent breakthroughs in high-profile cold cases, from the Golden State Killer to the Cameron Young murder. To understand the genetic information held on ancestry websites, she starts by submitting her own DNA to an online genealogy site. The results shock her. Sloan was raised by loving parents and has always known she was adopted. But her DNA profile points to a different identity: Charlotte Margolis, known as "Baby Charlotte," who drew national attention when she and her wealthy parents vanished in July 1995. Despite a large investigation and months of media coverage, no suspects were ever named, and the case has been cold for decades. With the media and true crime enthusiasts eager to learn what happened to Baby Charlotte, Sloan tries to stay one step ahead of them. Her search takes her to Cedar Creek, Nevada, a small town where the Margolis family's power and influence reach into every corner of the county. Her birth relatives welcome her at first, but they are also secretive and guarded, and not everyone is glad she has come back or pleased by her questions. The more Sloan uncovers, the clearer it becomes that the answers lie buried among Margolis family secrets, and that someone will go to any length to keep them hidden.
