Narrative Report On The Missing Persons

On the 23rd Of June, I, Officer Samuel Tulipano was dispatched to Point Nepean beach regarding a missing persons. It was cold and stormy. I met with Andrew the father of Grace, the missing person. He said that he, and his two daughters grace and Annie were playing a game called tracking where they hide from each other and leave signs of where they hiding, they leave sticks and marks in the ground to find each other. We looked around and found no signs of where grace could have gone. Andrew said that Grace had a backpack with her, with her phone and keys in it. Andrew said he called the phone and when he answered a boy answered. The boy said that his name was kip, was on the main beach and he found the phone in a backpack floating in the water.

Kip said that they played music and talked about music. He said that kip gave him an old Coke can and ted had beer. He said that ted seemed very drunk. He told us he has been continuing to go to teds house the past couple days and that he snuck out at night. Kip said they just spoke and listened to music. We drove past teds house and there was no car in the drive way. We knocked at the door but there was no answer.

The next day we saw Annie again, she said she was walking near the beach and a man went to her. She recognized him and he was the man that she saw standing alone outside his house when she ran home after grace went missing. That man was ted. Annie said that when ted came up to her he said ' do you recognize me'. Annie said she didn't reply and she ran
