I worked with a wonderful woman in Police Dispatch who was separated from, and then divorced from, and always terrorized by, her husband.
Counting the ones who only worked for a couple of weeks before bailing out, I must have worked with about five hundred people there, and yet this woman's story, so tragic, still stands in my mind.
When she went missing, we knew, and when they found her deceased in Howard County, it was a relief without surprise. And the police or the state's attorney never found enough evidence to charge anyone with her murder, so the crime is still unsolved, these 31 years later.
But what I'm thinking about is this. Someone killed sweet Linda and got away with it, so far, on this plane. He or she may never face trial on this plane.
But I don't understand how someone can be so devoid of conscience as to take another person's life, and then stand there, morning and night, brushing their teeth, looking in the mirror, and not have to turn away in disgust.
The person who did this horrible thing should never enjoy a pleasant day, never sleep well, never have a great meal and walk from the table truly satisfied.
But it's not up to me.
