Evidence Notes
INTRO: While stuck in Jackson helping mom, I've been going over the clues to try and put everything in perspective. I've made a list of all the people and evidence we've come across, and then listed what we know and what we don't know about these things. Hopefully it will help me know what questions I need to ask. --- Rachel.
