Finally closed a cold file I'd kept in my desk drawer for two years

Cleared a missing-person case nobody was paying me to work anymore. The daughter turned up living two towns over with a new name, paying her mother's rent through a post office box, just not ready to come home. No dramatic arrest, no tearful reunion — just a phone call to the mother that ended with her saying 'good' instead of 'why.' I filed it under resolutions and made better coffee than usual this morning.
