decorated with GOLD, white, and blue tones, elizabeth peters’ instagram page is a true reminder of how pristine the girl was. before her disappearance became worldwide news, she had garnered somewhere around three thousand followers and the rest came from people keeping up with her case. the very last picture she posted on the site was of what she had for breakfast just hours before no one saw her again. even thirty years after the fact, the page still stands as a reminder of the girl who simply just fell off the face of the earth.
her comments section is still, ‘til this day, decorated with theories about what people believe happened. doesn’t matter that the tell-all book was released detailing exactly what conspired that day, there are some people who refuse to accept it as what it is. to them, the circumstances surrounding elizabeth’s disappearance don’t make sense and they’re still determined to figure out what happened to the girl. because, even DECADES later, it’s still a hard pill to swallow. it’s still hard to accept that a group of teenagers manipulated the world.
