Erie Harbor

**Erie Harbor** is a small town in Washington state, USA. A quaint, small town in Washington State, Erie Harbor is located on the waterfront of the state and is a hub for fishing, boating, and other aquatic activities.

The residences are very involved in a sense of community, which works perfectly for those on the inside, just not for those they've put on the outside. The close-knit community was rocked by the mysterious abduction and murder of a young boy in 1988. The secrets buried within the town are unearthed by nine-year-old reporter Hilde Lisko and her father Matt.

The current sheriff of the town is Mackenzie Johnson.

## History

Erie Harbor is a small town in Washington with families that have lived in the town for several generations. These families have strong ties to the communities, such as the Holmes County Sheriff's Department and Erie Harbor School. In 1988, the abduction and believed murder of Richie Fife greatly affected the town and caused many families to defect.

When Matt Lisko and his family returned to Erie Harbor, the events that followed led to a drastic change in the town's social scene. From Hilde's controverisal newspaper to a movement to free Sam Gillis from prison, the town went through its ups and downs. After Hilde uncovered the police corruption at the leadership of Frank Briggs Sr., a new Sheriff was elected - Mackenzie Johnson. Trip and Briggs worked together to close the Richie Fife case by dragging the lake for the van used in the abduction. The entire town gathered to watch the van be lifted out. Hilde's work on the case became national news with the entire country learning of Erie Harbor and the cold case that was propelled by corruption.

With the town on the defensive as it struggled to recover from the publicity and shocking discoveries, it's no surprise when the Attorney General sent an investigator to look into the Holmes County Sheriff's Department. Meanwhile, Pinewood Park became contaminated with green algae. An outside company sealed off the pond, drained it, and paved over it to turn it into a community garden. The woman gave Hilde Lisko credit for finding the issue, as she had discovered a flock of dead birds that had drank from the pond, which led her to the pond full of dead fish. Hilde found the situation suspicious as the town didn't hold any official meetings on the matter, and she learns that local company Strata Tech Industries paid for the clean-up. Simultaneously, Bridget and Matt investigated Wott Management, a mysterious corporation who threatened to cease private property.
