C'est un des aspects de l'enquête qui n'a jamais été approfondi : dans son dernier souffle, alors que l'inspecteur Fletcher le tenait dans ses bras, Charlie Paige aurait prononcé le mot "Fantôme".

Que se passe-t-il dans la cité de Glenfrome en cet après-midi de canicule qui précède le drame ? Cody Swift retourne "à la maison" pour interroger sa propre mère, Julie Swift, qui se souvient de ce terrible dimanche : les cagettes de fraises qu'il faut transformer en confiture, son fils et ses amis, le trio infernal... Quand les trois garçons rentrent pour le goûter, Julie Swift remarque le T-shirt déchiré de son fils et lui interdit de ressortir avec ses amis pour le punir. Scott et Charlie repartent, c'est la dernière fois que Cody les voit.

Si Charlie, Scott et Cody étaient inséparables, la relation entre leurs mères était plus compliquée. Dans cet épisode, Cody Swift nous permet de comprendre un peu mieux qui étaient les mères de Scott et Charlie : Annette Ashby, chaleureuse, raisonnable et entièrement dévouée à son fils Scott ; et Jessy Paige, mère-enfant, qui déteste qu'on l'appelle "Madame" ou "maman", qui raconte des blagues osées, rit fort et s'évade tous les soirs en boite de nuit, laissant son fils Charlie seul à la maison.

Très rapidement au cours de l'enquête, Sydney Noyce, vingt-quatre ans, devient le suspect numéro 1 : enfant dans un corps d'adulte, il connait bien les trois garçons, passe du temps avec eux au chenil du cynodrome, et une résidente de la cité affirme l'avoir vu suivre Charlie et Scott vers 20h15 le soir de leur disparition. Tout semble logique. Mais l'est-ce vraiment ? Et si Sydney n'était pas celui que les policiers croient ? Que faire de ces incohérentes troublantes dans les témoignages ?
