What Did Cam Bentland Do To Solve The Reena Virk Mystery?
Since only two series episodes have been released, the story focuses on finding where Reena Virk is.
In the current timeline, Cam Bentland, played by Oscar-nominated actress Lily Gladstone, and Rebecca Godfrey, played by Riley Keough, investigate Reena’s whereabouts.
Cam Bentland is one of the first individuals to have a hunch that Reena’s case isn’t one of running away.
Apart from her, all the detectives are sure Virk just ran away from her home.
The very first episode of the series reveals that no one is taking the missing case seriously, and that’s when Reena’s uncle Raj tells Cam that he didn’t expect her to be so irresponsible.
Then Cam asks for information and discovers that the girl’s last known location was Seven Oaks.
From Raj, she gets to know that the last person Reena spoke to was a Guy named Connor Fields.
She visits all the places but does not learn about Reena, and finally, she decides to visit Connor.
After talking to him, the detective finds out that there was a fight, and Reena is severely hurt. Adding to that, he said that he heard Josephine say she was floating somewhere.
With a search team, Cam heads toward the lake and finds Reena’s jeans and underwear, but there is no sign of her body.
After this incident, she calls Josephine, Kelly, Dusty, and Warren to the station for questioning.
In the second episode, they find Reena’s body, and the mystery continues.
