Part 18 ~ Our Quest for The Truth Begins

We three mothers didn't know exactly what to do or expect. But we were determined. We talked with the reporter and got some useful tips and ideas on how proceed when we made it to Kentucky. Which is where we went first because that was where the two were arrested.

We made great time too. We were in Kentucky in 4 hours. Something we noted because the prosecutor had said in court that the two men who went on the 37 state crime spree. Couldn't have robbed and killed the young man here because they wouldn't have had time to travel back to Michigan commit the crime then travel back down to Florida and commit the crime there. But just by driving down south our selves, we proved they had plenty of time. This was the first thing we proved and just by driving there ourselves.

First we went to the police station where the two men from our town had been arrested. We were in luck one of the arresting officers was on duty. After we told him who we were and why were there. He seemed very interested and more then willing to speak with us.

He gave us so much information and was so very kind. He actually restored my faith in the police. It was nice to know there were still men of integrity in the police profession.

He told us he was as frustrated with the Michigan authorities as we were. That the only Michigan authorities that had come down to Kentucky were from Kalamazoo Michigan, on a double homicide they were investigating. He couldn't believe when they contacted Michigan Authorities in Macomb County they refused to come saying that din't need too. He found their lack of interest very strange.

He commended us three mothers on our courage, tenacity, and unwillingness to give up.
