Next morning, David woke up and went to the place where the girl was pointing out yesterday. He noticed a blurry circle, he could make out that there was a well which had been filled with mud. He realized that there was something fishy there.
He contacted his friend, Harry and explained everything to him that had happened last night. He came to his house and both of them started digging the place with a spade.
They saw there was indeed a well, but when the mud was removed there was stench of something rotten underneath. It was a very foul smell, it was so foul and stinky that both of them had to cover their nose, they could barely breathe.
Harry understood the rotten smell and immediately called his team. The policemen came and two labourers went down and finally they brought out a human skeleton.
The forensic team started throughly and carefully examining the skeleton. They observed there was a finger ring which was probably of some female, which indicated that the remains belonged to a girl.
David and his family were shocked to see the skeleton. They were sure the skeleton was of the same young girl whose screams they heard every night, she was probably dragged and thrown into the well.
After a few days of further investigations, the Gilbert family's guess was right. The skeleton really belonged to a young girl who was killed at a very young age of 21.
Harry looked at the missing reports when the girl was killed, he found, a few years ago, a family had filed an FIR that their 21 years old daughter had suddenly gone missing. They contacted her parents and came to know, how she suddenly went missing. Back then, the police closed the case on the assumption that she had eloped with her lover.
Now as the case was reopened, the police started asking the neighbours about a young girl of 21 years old. After asking around quite a few houses, some old people agreed that they had seen a young girl coming to the house, where presently the Gilberts are staying.
They even said that back then, there was a young guy staying at the house and she used to come to visit him and even sometimes stayed with him.
Harry went to her parents' house and asked them whether she had any boyfriend. They told him that when they went to search for her on the day she went missing, they had asked her college friends where she might have gone. But none of them, told them anything.
Harry went over to the same college again, and asked the professors and contacted her previous classmates. When asked sternly, some hesitantly revealed that she used to skip classes and go out to meet her secret boyfriend who was not from their college. When Harry asked them how he looked they said no one saw him ever coming to the college to meet her, she was the only one who used to go out to meet him.
Now the problem was that the police didn't have the identity of the guy. They had no photo, address or any contact details about him. So the case could not proceed and was stuck.
