Mortal Danger

HOME

    An air view of Third Street in Marysville, Washington, a “safe” small town. Traia Carr lived in house A, a widowed mother lived in house B with her teenage children, and building C was a washhouse that held shocking evidence of murder.

Marysville Detective Jarl Gunderson, who knew almost everyone in town, searched Traia Carr’s house and yard. He found that the flowers beneath her windows were crushed by someone who had watched her and stalked her. Traia was afraid, but she had no idea who the male stalking her was.

Traia Carr’s phone line had been cut, her jewelry was stolen, and she herself had vanished into the night of July Fourth as fireworks blazed in the sky. It would be a long time before anyone knew where she was.

Snohomish County Sheriff’s Detective Bruce Whitman, and his partner, Detective Dick Taylor, came to Marysville on another case, but returned to join Jarl Gunderson in the search for Traia Carr.

Dick Taylor was one of the three detective who were determined to find out who had been stalking Traia Carr. They worked tirelessly to find her. Had she been abducted by an obsessed “admirer,” her fiancé, or had she left home suddenly for her own reasons?

Detective Bruce Whitman stands in a dense forest on an Indian reservation. At last, they had physical evidence leading to Traia Carr.

Third Street in Marysville, Washington. Ironically, in the end, all the answers to the disappearance of Traia Carr could be found along this street in a family neighborhood.
