> [@tdn](#): > > Do you know anything about what happened? Beyond the bare facts, no. She died of “upper body trauma”. Whatever those injuries may be, the police did not hesitate to call it murder. The autopsy is today, and I expect we’ll get the details after that. I’m not sure I want to know. There’s an implication in one of the online articles I read that the person who discovered her may have a good idea of who did it. We’ll just have to wait further knowledge. ---

> [@Chessic\_Sense](#): > > Sorry, **Frank**. What would you like us to know about her? She tucked her hair under a batting helmet and snuck in as a pinch-hitter the last game of Little League season in 1969. She and our brother and I could sing Randy Newman’s “Short People” in perfect three-part harmony. She started to learn to read at age four because she was determined that her older brother and sister were not going to get to do anything she couldn’t. ---
