On a summer afternoon in 1959, 14 year old Steven Truscott gave his friend Lynne Harper a bike ride. That was the last time anyone except her killer saw her alive. And today, for the first time, we can definitively and under the law, say we do not know who her killer is. And that, […]

24 news

August 21, 2007

You may shoot me for this

August 18, 2007

But I’m kind of glad summer is almost over. I’ve always preferred the fall. I love the crisp, clean feeling in the air; the dry, wholesome, crunchy smell of fallen leaves. I love the sense of starting over, bred into us from a lifetime of “back to school”. Summer is just too frenzied. Time is […]
