Chuck's Story
Unsolved!
Heather, age 16
My journey with heartache began March 1st 1998. I was pulling weeds
in the front yard when I got a call from Heather’s mother. Her voice
was stressed and she asked me to sit down. That was when I knew
Heather was dead. My life was not prepared for what was to follow.
Heather’s body was discovered dumped on a remote rural highway in
Kansas. She had been dead three or four days. Cause of death was
blunt force trauma to the head and strangulation. She was sixteen
years old.
Heather was like a daughter to me.
Heather was gifted
in the subject of literature. She loved to read and write stories,
poetry or songs. She loved to sing. You could name a Disney film
and she could sing the musical score from memory. Heather was fun
to be with and she was also difficult. She was stubborn and had
trouble with any kind of authority. You could say she was a troubled
soul. She would rather be homeless, living on the road with strangers
than be in any structured environment. She was known t hitchhike
with truckers or anyone for that matter. I’ve always felt Heather
was trying to outrun her own personal emotional pain.
There is not a day that goes by that I wish I had
Heather and the headaches that went along wither, then to be dealing
with pain and heartache for the rest of my life.
