Thank you. And sorry for my skepticism but I’ll only firmly believe the officials words when the killer is caught with no links to the mother who lets her 10 year daughter walk over a mile to school, alone at least for part of the trip.
3 blocks isn’t that far. She wasn’t the only mother/father that let their kids walk as Jessica met up with other kids doing the same thing. Very common around here, still. I know after tragedies like this, we all say we would have done it differently, but these are really good neighborhoods, you feel safe.
When I was a kiddo, a country kid stranded in town because my parents had a business there, I wandered all of that town all day long, walked, biked, went into houses.
