He was funny and charming the rest of the day; helping me with my puzzle, going out for Rocky Road. That night, a new Post-it note went up: The key to change is to let go of fear.
FOR THE ATTENTION OF DETECTIVE INSPECTOR HARRY CONNOR
THIS IS THE ONE YOU FEAR.
HARRY CONNOR ASKED ME TO “GET IN TOUCH”, SO I HAVE. MAYBE I’LL WRITE AGAIN, WE’LL SEE. . .
I AM THE KILLER OF SHERYL NORTH. TO PROVE IT, HERE IS A BLOODSTAINED PIECE OF HER SHIRT. I AM THE SAME MAN WHO DID THE GIRLS AT THE WOODS AND THE RUBBISH TIP.
TO PROVE I KILLED THEM I SHALL DISCLOSE SOME DETAILS ONLY THE POLICE AND I KNOW:
UNDERWEAR TIED ROUND SHERYL NORTH’S NECK: PINK WITH BLUE POLKA DOTS
THE LAST GIRL WAS FOUND ON HER BACK WITH HER LEGS SPREAD OPEN
I DID THE SAME THING TO THE ONES AT THE DUMP AS ALL THE REST
HAPLESS HARRY SAID I HAVE A “PROBLEM”. BUT HARRY, I THINK YOU’RE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM, NOT ME. AND I’M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
PS HAVE YOU FOUND THE GIRL FROM HOLMES ROAD YET? SHE WAS INTO KINKY SEX AND HAD A LOOSE TONGUE– WHICH YOU’LL DISCOVER IF YOU FIND HER. . .
DESPITE WHAT YOU’RE SAYING, I’M NOT SICK. I’M NOT INSANE.
BUT NONE OF THAT WILL STOP THE GAME.
YOURS TRULY
