Mary Ann’s story has possessed me since it happened. There were many similarities to each of our backgrounds. She was a little older than I and did not live too far from me. We both went to Catholic schools and were being raised by relatives. On or near the day, that, supposedly, her bracelet was found in Highland Park, my mom and aunt had taken us to the park to swim and they discussed the news as we walked on huge stone steps that led to the pool. I have Therese Rocco’s book frim the librqry. It is very well written and answers a lot of questions, of course, not the one which tells us what happened to Mary Ann. In the chapter about Mary Ann, I don’t believe that she mentioned the bracelet. Although there are internet sites which show a photo of it and quote the family members as saying that it definitely belonged to Mary Ann. Therese Rocco said that she thought that she knew who may have taken her but since there was not DNA testing back then…I am wondering about the custodian William Dozier. That incinerator always running, even in the summer. When he was asked why, he said that during this time of year the children were getting rid of their books and papers. That seemed kind of odd to me. Were there that many children living in the Martinique apartments for him to day that? Why did he tell Mary Ann that the lady who sent her on the errand to buy cat food was not home when she returned, If she sent Mary Ann on an errand, why would she not wait for her to return? I wonder if they checked the ashes in the incinerator for evidence. Also the money that she had to buy ice cream three times before her disappearance, her family did not give it to her; nor did they know where it came from. Maybe someone in the apartment gave it to her as well as the bracelet. It is impossible to commit the perfect crime. As Therese said,”Somebody knows something,”
