After so long, and of course, I've spoken to Karen before, and some of the aftermath of dealing with the tragedy and trying to live on and go on and carry her at the same time. But I never really looked at it through her story. And I thought, that's pretty interesting. How am I going to do that? So I sat down a couple months later, finally, and I started to write some notes.

And I wrote about eight or nine pages of stuff, and I thought, oh, I guess I'm writing a book. So that's what it was. Wow. Yeah, it's 50 years later, and I think, you know, if what I'm selling is true, and I think it is, Karen wanted me to unburden this, finally, to be lighter.

Yeah, she was abducted and then murdered, raped and murdered, on July 1st, 1975. And... I think she was with them for about four hours and then was murdered. But I was fairly graphic in the description of what I got from the police report.

I wanted to share some of it with people to have them understand what it was to experience because I wanted to make sure that everything was honest, everything was true. And as I started to write the book, the relationship between me and the reader was felt like I was taking a friend through this with me. And that sort of defined it all.

At one point in the book, about maybe 60 pages in, I think, I actually wrote a letter to the reader and said, thank you for being here. I've got you now and take this journey with me if you like. You can stop too. I've always wanted people to feel free that they didn't have to continue. But it was a really emotional journey for me.

And it was given more value because I started to realize there are other people who have experienced the same thing. Those of us who share an experience that maybe I can bring some relief to in the fact that I'm finding relief as well and not to carry so much of it.
