Still See You Everywhere, March 12, 2024

Frankie Elkin is an expert at finding the missing persons that the rest of the world has forgotten, but even she couldn’t have anticipated this latest request—to locate the long-lost sister of a female serial killer facing execution in three weeks’ time. Twelve years ago, Kaylee Pierson’s five-year-old sister Leilani went missing in Hawaii. The main suspect? Pierson’s tech mogul ex-boyfriend, Sanders MacManus.

Pierson confessed from the very beginning, waived all appeals. Despite knowing of her rough childhood, no one could find sympathy for “the Beautiful Butcher” who had led eighteen men home from bars before slitting their throats.

The Beautiful Butcher offers Frankie this: When was the last time your search ended with finding the living?

As for Frankie’s favorite snack and drink: she’s a recovering alcoholic so she drinks water. When it comes to food and snacks, she goes from place to place, so she doesn’t really have a favorite—but since this is her first time visiting Hawaii, she happily ate tuna poke, macadamia nuts, and airline peanuts.
