Dirty Details Done Dirt Cheap:
Laurel Miller was a beautiful high school student who was lured into the woods by her boyfriend where, after a few scares from the local wildlife (including a rather ominous appearance by a crow), he presented her with an early birthday gift. Their passionate embrace was interrupted by Laurel's father, who obviously disapproved of the romance and dragged his daughter away. In the truck on the way home, an indignant Laurel told her father that she plans on marrying her boyfriend on her 18th birthday, which was right around the corner. Laurel's father, obviously distraught, apologized for something and then proceeded to crash the truck on purpose. Laurel survived the "accident" only to have her father kill her with a broken piece of mirror, the heartbroken man telling her he "couldn't let the darkness take her." What's going on? And how was poor Laurel connected to our story's main protagonist, Molly Hartley?
