‘Do you know her, Ann?’

‘Yes, I do. Or maybe I don’t?’

‘What do you mean, maybe you don’t?’

‘The girl we are talking about got lost, disappeared a long time ago. But her paintings are still here and Emmy was talking to one of them.’

‘So when did she disappear?’ asked the detective.

Hello,

This sentence 'He didn't have anyone with him' was supposed to mean he didn't have anyone, he was a lonely man. He didn't have even parents. I was not sure I conveyed this idea correctly so I decided to reask.

Thanks
