Ending

So....  The search for the missing person is over.  It ended yesterday afternoon.  Not the happy ending we were all hoping for, but the ending we were quietly starting to expect.

I have no ties to this woman, never met her, no emotional connection what-so-ever.  But it's still no fun to go home and watch the people I care about, the people who actually knew her, suffering.

But at least it's over, right?  Knowing the outcome, having an ending, is so much better than not knowing.
