Tara Scanlan woke up early, as she always does.
She got out of bed and was on her way to wake up her two daughters when an unexpected sight gave her pause. The door to her son Andrew’s room was wide open. She peeked inside. He wasn’t there.
“That’s odd,” Tara thought to herself. It wasn’t long past 7:00 a.m., and she had anticipated being the first person in the house to rise. After all, Andrew had just gotten home from school the day before.
“You’d think a college kid wants to come home and sleep,” Tara said when recalling the experience.
