In the summer of 1985, Rockport was shaken when eight-year-old twins Daisy and Laya Mercer disappeared along with their little red wagon. Despite endless searching, no one found a trace. The case went cold, but their mother Moren never stopped carrying the weight of that day.

Fifteen years later, a fisherman hauled up a rusted, barnacle-covered red wagon from the deep near Devil’s Drop. Moren recognized it immediately, and the discovery reignited the investigation.

Detective Morrison revisited old reports and uncovered overlooked clues — stolen boats, strange memories from locals, and one name that kept resurfacing: a young drifter who left town right after the twins vanished. When police finally tracked him down, he confessed to taking the girls out on a boat, where panic and tragedy struck.

Rockport was devastated, but the truth finally brought the closure Moren had waited half her life for. A memorial now stands in the park where the girls once played, and the town helped Moren find her footing again.

Daisy and Laya’s story became a reminder of Rockport’s strength, compassion, and the healing that comes when a community refuses to forget.
