She always presented herself as female.<br /><br />The adults in my life carried on whispered speculation that it was a lover, enraged to discover her secret, who was the murderer.<br /><br />I think these whispered adult conversation containing words I didn't understand made me suspect there was something even more terrifying to the story than what I heard on the radio.Eileen Schuh:https://www.blogger.com/profile/08239393851824941591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38452868.post-67178059070545331662010-10-29T21:00:34.195-07:002010-10-29T21:00:34.195-07:00I remember hearing that man talk about his father ...I remember hearing that man talk about his father on one of the web radio stations. I believe he thought his father was the infamous Zodiac killer as well. Yikes!<br /><br />Your posting though, gave me some thoughts about mysterys and clues being overheard by unsuspecting bystanders on their radios.Juanita Rose Violinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699040708146743350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38452868.post-17473699690495441332010-10-26T07:15:11.812-07:002010-10-26T07:15:11.812-07:00I don't think we become hardened exactly, but ...I don't think we become hardened exactly, but have learned there are many crazy people out there. As a mystery writer, I am very observant. I always notice things neither my husband or people I'm with do--sometimes wonder if that will keep me safer. On the other hand, I'm friendly to whoever I see, no matter how they look--so probably not so safe after all.<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.

I remember the news story about police finding babies in a freezer close to my home. I was about 7 years old. That story kept me awake for many nights.<br /><br />At that time, abortions were illegal. I believe it was eventually determined the 'babies' were actually aborted foetuses. (Why someone kept them, I don't know.)<br /><br />However, even the thought of abortion horrified me at that age. Do we eventually become hardened to horror or as adults, do we come to understand and accept the dark side of mankind?Eileen Schuh:https://www.blogger.com/profile/08239393851824941591noreply@blogger.com
