It took some insight and pondering but I am going to completely destroy the private journal and plans for taking of another life. The story is now mute, everyone has moved on. The three children will never live their lives and Doug's sister left him letters and poems that continue peace within. He has no desires for the ultimate revenge, so I no longer need to hold onto the papers that would have led the police to his victim's body. It has all finally come to acceptable ends for all. Tomorrow they will all be burned.
As for the 1st degree murderer I must contact the State Atty General to be certain that I do not hold crucial evidence regarding his case and upcoming appeal for release after 25 years. I researched his case last night and saw his 2011 appeal and it seems they are not buying his story. When I have given my info and feel satisfied in turning it over or destroying it, I can lay that horrific drama to rest. It was a horrible gruesome crime he committed and I want none of it in my home.

A Troubling Discovery
I told you a while back that I had boxes of memories, some of which I had never seen, others I boxed away after a glimpse amidst the photos and papers I put away in a dark corner.
This afternoon I finally sat down and began to go through some of the papers. I know it will sound dramatic but amongst some,were fun pictures that were a delight and slated for proper presentation.
I found misplaced family photos of Melanie as a youngster.
But, I ran into a season of trauma, drama, despair, terror and heartbreak. I am not able at this time to share it all with you. I am still shaken. Suffice it to know that these findings involve a man in the Utah State Penetentiary convicted of homocide and a brother of a sister who was murdered along with her 3 children who wrote me several times of his plans to kill the murderer who was his brother in law..
You see, on radio, I was not the narcissistic host who loved his voice, I listened to all and everyone. Some nights my voice and sharing rang to some with no one to listen to them. Many things happened
because of that. These were two I didn't know were listening or so intensely.
Soon I will share portions of their correspondence. I helped keep a man from killing another man; I helped a killer get through another day. But, until tonight, I never read it all and realized that I made a difference. I did good and helped two people at the end of hope. I need time to accept it and forgive myself for not following them both further to know how they are today.
