I wonder if her killer made her write the note, before he killed her. Like..in the above link. Shari Smith, from SC..my home state...was kidnapped while she was getting the mail. Her killer either forced, or let her write a letter to her family before she was killed. Her sister, Dawn, competed in pageants, and it was thought at one time, that he believed that he was kidnapping HER instead of her sister, Shari. There was a TV movie made about it...the letter to her family made me cry my eyes out. It was SO sad.
Here is a few lines from the above link...
The marvelous thing about God is that the deeper the tragedy, the greater the grace. Dawn Smith Jordan is no stranger to both. On May 31, 1985, Dawn's younger sister, Shari, was kidnapped and murdered just two days before her high school graduation. It became the largest manhunt in South Carolina's history, drawing national attention.
Shari's murderer allowed her to write a letter of farewell to her family, saying: "Please don't let this ruin your lives. Just keep living one day at a time for Jesus. Remember, everything works out for the good to those that love the Lord. Some good will come of this." Never could Dawn or her family have realized how even God could do just that.
