A police officer was called to a small apartment building after neighbors noticed that the woman in Apartment 6B had not been seen for days. On entering the apartment, the officer noticed a set of handcuffs and a whip, but the apartment appeared otherwise unremarkable. There was no evidence of struggle, and everything appeared to be in its place, but the woman remained missing. Several weeks later, a high school student taking a shortcut through the rear parking lot of a shopping center noticed a foot sticking out of the shrubbery. He called the police, and the dead woman was soon identified as the woman from 6B.
