They constructed it next to the river for fishing. They were a marriage, George and Mary and they had two sons; Zimon and Roger. When Zion was 13, and Roger was 6, Zimon went out with some friends to the cinema. During the movie, the cinema caught fire. Nobody survived. Zimon was so young. Jorgensen family, promised not to lose another son (Roger) again.They would protect him until they could liver alone. But if Roger couldn’t go away from his house, he would need a friend. They looked for a young girl that could take care of him while they worked. They found Anne Johnson, of 25 years old. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin and she was pretty. During three years, they had a great relationship`, as a couple. She could take care of him without problems, Roger loved her. One day, George and Mary asked Anne to take of Roger for a week so they could both go on holidays. After this holiday week, they arrived at their home. They saw Anne, dead, on the living floor because of a heart attack. Lying there with Roger by her side, crying.

Nine years later, Roger, totally depressed, leaved his house because of fights with his mother. His father, still gave money to him so he could maintain his own house by the other side of the river.

After a month, many identical girls disappeared and they were found dead on the forest, covered with dust. There was no explanation about it. The FBI started to investigate about the last girl that disappeared, but she wasn’t dead. Her name was Abigail. The FBI interrogated Mary and George because some contacts said they were quite suspicious. Mary talked about Roger’s life and George said Roger wasn’t a murderer. But one night, the FBI received a call of a girl. She was Abigail crying and suffering, saying she was in the illegal side of the river. The police ran and they found Roger’s house. Some blood was on the wall. They broke the door and they saw Roger killing Abigail with a knife, but she was still alive. Roger started crying.

- “I miss her, and I didn’t want to do this. I love Anne, I thought I found her so many times”.-

- “You are obsessed” said a policeman “You will go to jail with psychology help”-

- “He wanted me to play, to read him books, but he didn’t like the way.  He Also called me Anny”

Roger killed those girls because they didn’t do what Anne did, and they tried to escape. That was the last time Roger saw a girl whit Anne’s appearance.
