Circumstantial Evidence 2

The police continued their investigation and were
extremely puzzled. They couldn't figure out how
those small footprints found by the window be
possibly responsible for the disappearance  of an eight
year old, Ann Marie Burr.
  Sadly the case was not solved. Ann Marie Burr's
parents suffered through many years of not knowing
what happened to their precious daughter. The years 
went by and there was no news of their missing
child.
  Fourteen years had gone by. Mrs Burr was 
watching a news bulletin from her local news station.
She heard of a mans name that was linked to several
murders. The name kept ringing in her mind over
and over again. Finally she called her girlfriend and
asked her if she had ever heard this familiar name.
Her girlfriend told her thinking for a minute, no I honestly,
don't remember this name. Beverly thanked her and
hung up.
  Several hours later Beverly's phone rings, her friend
excitedly tells her yes, now I remember that name!
That was the paperboy. I am absolutely sure It was the
neighborhood paperboy. TED BUNDY!!!



Serial killer Ted Bundy lived several blocks from the
kidnapped child. The small footprints were for a small
boy that were found outside the window. They say it
was Ted Bundy's first murder. He was fourteen years
old when he committed it. Her body was never found
and her parents died not knowing where their daughter
was. Mrs Burr wrote a letter to Bundy asking for 
closure, to please tell her where her daughter was. Bundy
never did. He was linked to 36 murders but a detective
that interviewed him said he had told him he was 
responsible for over 100 murders. He was eventually 
put to death.

I was enthralled from start to finish! Excellent and chilling tale. Two small changes, line three put a "could" between "window" and "be" also in the last paragraph "closer" should be closure. This is a piece that should be published, outstanding writing.

Dear Michael You have the talent for great storytelling skills and I agree with the others you should write a book because you can draw your readers in, and make them relate to the story you are offering the reader, cheri
