Another one from Hot Springs. Ever hear of it? Clinton lived there as a kid too huh? Anyway this case has been stewing around since 1997 and it’s almost always hovering around near the top of the Seeking Info FBI page right next to other perennial favorites like Tara Calico and Amy Mihaljevic and which typically has about 200 entries. I check that page regularly and she’s always there. At any rate it doesn’t tell you what happened to her, and in an age when you can read the grossest details of cases like Laci Petersen, whatever happened must have been pretty fucking bad.
Although, what you’re talking about that other kid sounds pretty bad too.

I should add that neither Byrne nor Partridge’s voices bother me much though Partridge took some getting used to.

Iceberg Slim was born....uh, 1918? Kee-rist. Sounds like some real speakeasy era shit there. At any rate I don’t like reading guys like Bukowski so who knows, I guess I just prefer stuff like Blood Meridian for my horrors.
