Case File 0001 — The School Photograph

File ID: RNR-0001
Date taken: 12 May 1987
Location: Northfields Secondary School
Status: Open

A recovered school photograph shows three pupils clearly visible in the foreground. A fourth figure appears near the rear window, wearing a red cardigan. Several witnesses identify the figure as Ruby.

No matching enrolment record, surname, or yearbook listing has been found. The three foreground pupils have been subtly redacted to protect their identities.

“She was definitely there. I remember moving so she could sit down.”

Archive note: First confirmed appearance of the red cardigan motif. Ruby appears near a window and cannot be identified directly.
