I had today off so I took the time to read through old newspapers. I made a thirty-day timeline of all the clippings in order.
First 30 Days of The Springfield Three
Honestly, reading all of this gave me such a different perspective than before. I see how this changed people, and I see how the media portrayed Sherrill and Suzie, and how Sherrill's family took charge to stop her name being dragged through the mud. I also see how unfair people were to Bartt, and how concerned he was in also keeping his mother's name clean. This case will haunt me for the rest of my life. Even in the papers, people were running their mouths without knowing facts and judging people they never even met. It's stated numerous times in the 65 articles. I hope to live long enough to see this case solved. I also must admit I was somewhat wrong about the police. This was bigger than them, and strangely enough, also the FBI.
Whoever did this crime has managed to cover their tracks. If not in prison, they've somehow found a way to fall asleep every night for the last 28 years. I don't like wishing bad on people, but I hope your mind is consumed with guilt until you crack. I hope every time you look in a mirror you're haunted by their faces, and that you see them in your dreams. I hope every piece of your deformed heart is tormented until you can't take anymore. Most of all, I hope for justice for Sherrill, Suzie, and Stacy, along with answers for their families. With love. Always.
