No Further Contact

Some disappearances leave behind bodies.
Others leave behind sound.

A scream echoing through a stairwell with no victim found.
A foghorn signal that breaks cadence and never answers again.
A receipt timestamped minutes before a person vanished.
A tape recorder playing static where someone should have been.

Last Signals is a collection of meticulously researched, first-person cold case narratives inspired by real public court records, police logs, and official reports. Each story is told by the person closest to the final moment, those who heard something almost become proof.

A coast guard operator monitoring a lighthouse channel.
A warehouse worker opening an unclaimed freight crate.
A gas station cashier whose receipt became evidence.
A road surveyor who shared the same mile marker as a coworker who never came back.

These are not detectives or heroes. They are ordinary people trained to trust systems, routines, and procedures, until something slips through.

Told in restrained, conversational prose, these stories do not invent answers or impose closure. They stay loyal to what remains unresolved, exposing how easily a life can disappear inside paperwork, static, distance, or delay.

This is true crime without spectacle.
Evidence without resolution.
And the sound that lingers after everything else goes quiet.
