Louise Jeffries' Plea

Life, Crime

Louise Jeffries, a figure from Detective Karl Jenkins' past, arrives at the station to report the disappearance of her son, Kain, and her brother, Jamie.

As Detective Karl Jenkins enters the interview room, he is shocked to find Louise Jeffries, a woman from his past, waiting for him. Louise, visibly distressed, reveals that her son, Kain, and her brother, Jamie, have gone missing. She recounts her failed attempts to contact Jamie and the subsequent disappearance of Kain, who she had sent to check on his uncle.
  Louise shares her interactions with Luke Smith, Jamie's partner, who claimed that Jamie had gone to Melbourne due to relationship issues. However, she expresses her doubts about the story, as it doesn't explain Jamie's uncharacteristic lack of communication. Karl, grappling with his own history with Louise and Jamie, reassures her that he and Detective Sarah Lahey will open an investigation immediately.
  As Louise leaves to provide a formal statement, Karl is left to ponder the complexities of the case, his personal connections, and the urgent need to find both Kain and Jamie.
