just who was it that held your office door closed so the light of day could be stabbed out of you for sheer greed could it have been an unmasked friend in on the take I still shudder to think of the killing force that took your breath away your surprise still swims in front of my eyes decades have gone by now I still crave names and lies revealed because it should never be this easy to escape punishment

Although my husband's killer is known( and has since died of cancer and not while in custody), his potential accomplices could be identified by a fingerprint on the back of a door -so this case remains alive.
