Poem
In hindsight it was a very dark day when this child was born. It is a terrible thing to say about an innocent child, but looking back, you will understand as this story unfolds. The early signs started at the unbelievable age of three. His aunt tells the story of while she was sleeping she woke up, startled to find knives placed all around her. To her amazement her nephew at the age of three had placed those knives around her by his own admittance. This is how early his craving for killing had started. Can you imagine? It was in 1961 when a quiet home in Tacoma Washington would be violated. It was a rainy night, and its hard to hear anything when there is thunder and lightening and rain pouncing on your roof. Wind was howling. A real storm brewing. Beverly Burr lived there with her husband and children. One of her daughters Anne Marie shared a room with her sister. Ann Marie had two brothers that lived in the basement of the house. Outside on that night evil was lurking. A dark soul surviving on sordid dark addictions of committing murder. It was late at night. The window downstairs was propped open to let the television antennae out for better reception. That propped window could allow this demented intruder to enter. Beverly always got up early. She as a loving parent would check on her children periodically. Call it mother's instinct. It was approximately five thirty in the morning. She went into the girls room first, and noticed Ann Marie was missing. She quickly went downstairs and checked the kitchen and checked the downstairs basement where her boys were. Ann Marie was not there. She went upstairs screaming! Waking her husband and everyone else in the house up. They all frantically started looking everywhere for her. Underneath the bed, in the closets. Still, sadly they could not find her. The police were immediately called. Several detectives had notice a size seven shoe ( which was very puzzling to them, such a small sneaker print.) It was found outside the downstairs window, along with a red strand of fiber. They checked their records of any felons in the immediate area. They checked all their leads. At the time, what they initially found, was most of the evidence they had. They also were told by Mrs Burr's neighbor that, they had seen someone peering through that specific window where they found the sneaker prints. Investigating further the police did not find anything else. Michael Tor 9/22/2015
