In 2015 in Bristol, England, 16 year old Rebecca "Becky" Watts was reported missing. Within the next two weeks, police launched the #FindBecky campaign online, searched multiple homes, and did everything they could to find the missing teenager. Just under two weeks after she was reported missing, the police arrested two people in connection with her disappearance and her subsequent murder. It hit much closer to home than her family and friends could have imagined.
