In yesterdays Houston Chronicle there was an article about a man whos daughter was murdered in 1984. He had a suspect who lived on his street, he said that 2 years ago he gave the man a Bible and told him he forgave him. Even just before that time he put 5 guns in his car and went hunting for the man to kill him. That was 28 years after the murder and a friend talked him out of it.
The father’s name is Tim Miller and after searching for his daughter for 17 months he started a search organization called Texas Equusearch. He and his volunteers have found countless victims of horrible crimes. He is a fantastic man who has turned his grief into a great blessing but......... he has had to fight the desire to kill the man who he thinks is responsible.
Four months ago the man he thinks killed his daughter, Clyde Hedrick, was found guilty of killing another woman and Miller has started again to try to tie him to his daughters murder.
Here is another thread about this tragic event and I describe another man who faced the same desires.
What a story. Grief can feel so boundless. I am glad his friend brought him back off the edge; still, any sane person wants some kind of justice in this world. I hope Mr. Miller can tie the murder of his daughter to this creep. Maybe the DA can link some sort of plea deal to a confession with relevant details.
Blessings to you today, Ditter. I imagine there aren’t many days when you don’t think about your son. Bless him where he is.
