Natalie Keene is the second murder victim.
Life[]
Natalie Keene is a ten-year-old Wind Gap girl who goes missing at the start of the novel, prompting Camille’s boss, Frank Curry, to send her to her hometown to investigate. Within days of Camille’s return to Missouri, Natalie Keene’s dead body is found, posed like a doll, in the center of town. All of the girl’s teeth have been removed—making clear the fact that Natalie and Ann Nash, who was killed and stripped of all her teeth just a few months earlier, are victims of the same killer. It is eventually revealed that Natalie harbored violent tendencies, and that her family had moved from Philadelphia to Missouri after Natalie brutally attacked and blinded one of her classmates.
