Last Meal
"Everyone's in place?" "Affirmative," said a voice in his ear piece. Detective Salazar stared into the transparent walls of the diner while standing across the street underneath a blinking street light. The air was unbearably cold, but his focus was fixed on the man sitting by himself at the booth in the middle of the diner.

"Back in the day, we didn't have to deal with these kinds of problems!" Some elderly people will exclaim when confronted with how to use the internet or when a new scam pops up. And while their statement is technically correct, they forgo the fact that solving murders in the past was also much harder. That is one of the reasons that the Texarkana serial killer was never found, or maybe saying never "convicted" is a much more accurate way of describing what happened.

Around 4 AM of August 23, 1987, a mile long train was traveling down the tracks to Bryant, Kansas. The engineer, Stephen Shroyer, noticed something on the tracks covered in what looked to be a green tarp. He blew the train’s horn and began an emergency stop but it was far too late. Sadly, the train would run over the two boys and wouldn’t come to a full stop for another half mile. In a statement, Stephen said, “From the time that we had placed the train into an emergency position and laid down on the horn, I would estimate about three to five seconds to impact. And that may not sound like a very long period of time, but when you’re bearing down a couple of children, it’s an eternity, honestly.”

"Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't," Mark Twain explained to a literary magazine when asked why he didn't write about real life more often. As any writer will agree, when writing about the real world, the audience has an expectation that everything makes sense and the climax of the story ties up all of the loose ends. If the plot gets too sordid or weird, the audience will revolt. That's what makes the Jeff Bezos claim that he was blackmailed and extorted by the infamous tabloid The National Enquirer and it's publisher David J. Pecker.

"You gave birth to your own death," Electra Euripides warned mothers of homicidal maniacs. By and large, society is still shocked when a child kills their mother. The female parent is still, by and large, considered a beloved member of the family surpassed in the love metric by only grandmothers. Still, not every mother is created equal; while some are kind and loving, others are evil and out for themselves. It's all a matter of perception and analyzing their action. 22-year-old Jared Eng thought that his mother was evil, though publicly he denies this because she threatened his inheritance. Would that lead him to kill his mother? Prosecutors say yes and allege that his girlfriend, along with another friend, helped him move the body.

Damien Nettles went missing after going to a party on the 2nd of November in 1996, on the Isle of Wight, when he was just 16 years old. This case has never been solved to this date and I have watched multiple videos on this and read a lot about the case and it really frustrates me that there is still no answer as to what happened.
