The boy
Simon was a famous writer who many times wrote against criminals who strolled in the city. With all the work that he did to expose the darkest truths about criminals, he managed to get quite a high amount of threats. Two years ago, Simon wrote against a congress politician who conspired and killed his wife. He wrote a book called 'The truth is said' and published it a year before he moved to Texas. He was married and had a daughter named Linda. The parents were not at good terms so Linda lived with her mother in California while Simon was working tirelessly all the way in Texas. He was determined and all he wished for was a career he was passionate about and a family he felt calm around.

In A Sinful Woman, They Awaken
There were witnesses, so many witnesses. She couldn’t do it. Not now. Thick black hair flowed over Imogen’s shoulders, shining in the midday sun. She twisted around to chatter with her friend beside her, causing her hair to lift and flick wildly about her right shoulder.

Lady M
(Read before Tina the Goat) Riding on horseback for five hours makes for a sore bottom. The guide was unphased, "Not much further; we'll walk from here and tie the horses up to that tree line." He said, guiding the FBI agents and the horses in that direction. Agent Senex Freeman had a feeling "not much further" meant a lot farther than he wanted to walk with a sore tailbone, but there they were, on a mountain in Switzerland, and there was no turning back.

On Authorities / The Police
The Story: Back in the day I messed up. I was on new medication from my Doctor and I was being a high school kid. Not well informed yet. I knew I should have know better. My Dad had bought me a burrito that night and I ate it all. I smashed that thing, as we did, back in the day when we could not even catch up to our own metabolisms. My Dad said, just stay home. He took away my car keys. I did not listen. I had a spare key hidden in my room. I crashed. I crashed hard. So, so hard. The police, as they do, thought it would be a smart decision to give all of the gory details to the local paper. The police smashed my name. They made me feel worthless. It hurt so bad. So, so bad. Why they just had to ruin a kid's future, I do not know. It was not cool. I crashed my car into a tree. Nobody was hurt, thank God. My Dad, my great, great, Dad kept the newspaper article away from me. To this day I cannot find it online to read it. Do not care. Do not want to read it. Everyone read it. I knew they ALL read it. It sucked. My Dad kept me home from school for a week. The swim team wanted nothing to do with me because I had made them look bad. So, so bad. My coach had been my coach since childhood. He did not care. I think he cares now. I mean, come on, can we catch a break, any break? Oh, well. My Dad watched The Little Mermaid with me as we did when I was younger. I could not breathe. This was just me. A small town, white girl, made out as a bad example. Perfect.

Toledo's mad demons of eroticized racial hatred. (Parts 1-2)
Anthony and Nathaniel Cook represent the rarest of the rare in the annals of crime: sibling serial killers. Yet, what is most exceptional about this case is their motive… a motive that separates them from most “angel of death” type killers (see Michael Swango as an example), financial ones (see Dorothea Puente as the archetype), or even your more conventional type of lust murderers like Ted Bundy or – looking at the dual killers dynamic – Henry Lee Lucas and Otis Toole.

Suspect
Jamar sat at the kitchen table drinking some fresh brewed coffee while waiting for Shawnda, his co-worker to come and pick him up. He heard the horn blow. He took the last sip of coffee, grabbed his suit jacket and headed for the door. After he got in, Shawnda sped off. "This case has a lot of mystery and unanswered questions we have to confront before we can even try to solve it," Shawnda said.
