Amanda Park

Stories of heroism, loss, and speculation from the 9/11 attack dominated every newspaper and TV screen across the country.

While everyone watched the aftermath of this national tragedy, a mysterious case was quietly taking shape in the remote town of Amanda Park, Washington at the Lake Quinault Inn.

Business was slow.

In fact, the maid only had one room to clean that morning, but the guest in room number five was once again not responding to her.

There were no signs of struggle, no head injuries.

The intent appeared tragically clear.

While the scene explained Lyle's death, it revealed nothing about who he was, where he came from, or what led him to Amanda Park.

With no leads to follow and all questions unanswered, the investigators turned their efforts towards knowing Lyle Stevik himself.
