Yapping about my favorite ever concept with AD!Collin because I've been chewing on him for a while. This is a mess, but whatever bro lmao.
Collin was arrested for AwesomeG's death
ⓘ AwesomeG's body was found three years after their initial disappearance by ████ and ████, dumped deep in a wooded area on ████’s private property in Oregon—more than 1500 miles from Collin and G’s home in the Texas panhandle.
Back when G first disappeared, there were three main theories:
⬩➤ Family Abduction (Parental). Their parents had made a public show of outrage when Collin successfully got custody of G and a protective order. Eventually disproven after thorough investigation.
⬩➤ Luring and Abduction. There was no evidence of an intruder nor a struggle, so they had thought that maybe G was talking to someone online or around town. There was no evidence to support either. Collin swore up and down that G was a smart kid and wouldn’t leave with anyone they weren’t close with without putting up a proper fight. G was typically avoidant of adults, standoffish at best around kids that weren’t their age, and refused to leave the house without Collin.
⬩➤ Runaway. G was close to Collin—attached at the hip even—and G was visibly much happier when they separated from their parents. No belongings were missing. Lack of motivation and evidence.
Between Collin being the only person G was close to, nothing else adding up, and Collin missing with no alibi the day G had disappeared, the spotlight inevitably shifted to him. After a long battle, he was finally cleared, but the damage had been done.
Everyone in that town still thinks Collin killed them.
