(Also as someone who lives in a town that is more like small-city sized than actual small town - Fairbanks is like 80K people - you run into people you know EVERYWHERE. I see former co-workers and classmates at the grocery store all the time. People 100% will see her.)
Ha, yes, this! I grew up in a town that size, and my dad used to joke that it was impossible to spend a day out and about without running into someone from work. Never mind years!
Disbelief: immediately unsuspended. *g*
I think it also just bothered me unreasonably that the hauntings in the hotel didn't stop when the murderer was killed in 1982, but rather, after the 2017 protagonist figured everything out.
I don't think that's unreasonable at all! That violates genre conventions pretty heavily, and you can do that, obviously, but it needs to be supported by the narrative, which it doesn't sound like this is at all.
