The Unassuming Old Lady
The Unassuming Old Lady
She had them all fooled.
The detectives looked in sixteen directions.
Not one gave her a second glance.
One ten minute interview, and she was out the door.
She silently gloated that she had gotten away so quickly.
They did not even bother to ask her the right questions.
Because she is unassuming.
Because she is petite and older.
Because she is a grandmother.
Because she is a woman with a husband who is a judge.
Because she is a philanthropist.
Because she is a friend of the mayor.
She had gotten away with murder.
again….
