The community center reception hall was ablaze with a hundred tiny candles. The wedding rehearsal members were milling around waiting for the bridegroom to return. Josie checked her watch surreptitiously, once again. It had been ten minutes since Brian excused himself to take a phone call. Her fianc was supposed to be on personal leave not taking FBI calls in the middle of their rehearsal dinner. Slipping out the side door, Josie went to remind Brian Miller that their guests were waiting. The playground area beside the center was empty except for the colored chalk blocks of a hopscotch pattern on the concrete. A pair of car keys was lying on the ground at the roots of a rosebush next to the corner of the recreation hall. Where on earth could he be? The PI strolled briskly around the corner to the parking lot but there was no Federal Agent Miller anywhere in sight and his car was still in the parking lot. Taking her cell phone from her jacket pocket, Josie hit #1 on her speed dial and waited. And waited. After the tenth ring with no answer, a knot began to form in her stomach. This was not Brians usual behavior. If he was getting cold feet, he would have just told her, which meant something bad could be going down.

The Missing Ones is a true account of the disappearance of Blanche and Russell Warren. The young hardworking couple disappeared, seemingly without a trace, while driving a 1927 Chevy sedan from Port Angeles, Washington, to their cabin at near the town of Forks Washington. At the cabin, eagerly awaiting their arrival were their two young sons, age eleven and thirteen. An investigation by the sheriff's department in 1929 failed to find the Warrens. However, evidence collected by investigators suggested that they may have driven into Lake Crescent. The case was largely forgotten until 1954 when a local upstart scuba diving club stumbled upon the story. They passed the story on to National Park divers stationed at Olympic National Park in 2001. This is the story of how the Warrens disappeared into mysterious Lake Crescent, what happened during the 1929 investigation, how the dive club found the story and what they did to help solve the case, and finally how the park rangers solved the case.
