Echo is now missing, and the police don’t take it seriously. ![]() Things might have been ok when Echo regained consciousness - not dead after all - but Kurt panics and makes the biggest mistake of his life. Since it was an accident, the fact that Kurt throws Echo into the back of his truck instead of calling the police implies that maybe he has a shady past. On his way home, he hits what he thinks is a deer, but turns out to be Echo on her sled. On this fateful night, Kurt is out having a few drinks too many. He’s in town to renovate a farmhouse down the road from the Allens. We don’t know much about his background, but it’s obvious he’s a loner. Kurt (John Adams) is a newcomer to the area.
