Zane knew the person he believed was the second victim of this mystery abductor, and he saw a response on a subreddit about my Instagram post, which gives me an idea.

“Reddit” + “disappearances” + “Jason Kilbourne” + “victims”

The first result looks promising: serial abductions in Wyachet, Georgia.

I follow the link to a forum about Jason and see a comment from Dman281. A quick scan reveals this is the post Zane read about the second victim, Michael Grayson.

Zane Grayson…

They’re related.

Now I get why he was so cryptic.

“Well, Kyra, I found a little something about our new friend.”

Hey everyone. Lurker on this sub, first-time poster. Wanted to see if anyone knows anything about JK receiving a letter from a secret admirer before his disappearance. I know Michael Grayson, and he contacted me about a letter from a supposed admirer about a month before his disappearance. He was trying to figure out who sent it. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, and I’ve tried to give the cops this information, but they don’t seem interested or think there’s a connection.

From what he read to me, the letter was very ornate—like poetic language, not the way people talk. A lot about his appearance. Had some weird shit about how he waslike a Grecian statue. No signature. Will provide more specifics to any serious inquiries, but please, no bs.

If anyone knows of something like this with JK, please reach out. I’m not on here much, but I’ll get a notification for PMs.

EDIT: If you run a blog or podcast, please do not contact me. I’ve shared all I’m comfortable with, but any help is appreciated.

The guy posted this four months ago, so everything Zane told me about the post and my letter checks out.

I pull up on my phone the pic of my letter:

Leif,

I see you.

Heart and soul that you wear on your sleeve.

The beauty of this form—a marble statue in a world of drooping clay.

An heir to the beauty of your ancestors.

I hope, when you look in the mirror, you see yourself as I do—

A divine gift to the mortals who have the privilege of finding you in their gaze.

Maybe one day I can find the courage to share these feelings with you face-to-face.

Or maybe it’s best to let them remain untainted by the disappointments that come once a dream has been realized.

Just know, you are seen.

You are adored.

Sincerely,

Yours and only yours
