Together, the two boys manage to sink the corpse to the bottom of a reservoir with a big rock serving as its anchor. And he knows he must dispose of the body because otherwise he will get the blame and bear the brunt of the punishment. Jasper’s unexpected arrival served a purpose: he needs Charlie’s help in burying the body. And from the looks of it, she was beaten before being hanged. On this particular evening, Jasper seems a little overstimulated compared to his usual state of mind, however, and when Charlie follows him to his secret glade in the bush, he finds out why: the dead body of Jasper’s girlfriend, Laura Wishart, is hanging from a tree.

Jasper has a bit of a rebellious streak that Charlie finds intriguing. In the summer of 1965 in the Australian mining town of Corrigan, 13-year-old Charlie Bucktin is surprised late one night when Jasper Jones shows up with promises of taking him to see something very special out in the bush.
