Beautiful drive to Casper. Now it has been Lincoln Nebraska and Denver /Cheyenne area with more than 20 emails sent out in each city, no responses to multiple emails I sent out every night. Have dropped off flyers at PD and such. My queries/emails are the same (better edited) to ones that got m 10-14 stories on a CARAVAN but 4 days out and no response, not one response. To make it more difficult, my Computer is freezing up.
Makes it slow to get emails out --up late every nite to do the emails(hotel computer always in use) Cell Phone having problems, hope calls weren't thwarted. Year 10,11, harder than others=detective is almost non communicative, media local and regional more quiet.
Getting stories always made the rest of the year better. Now it feels like one more thing taken. All the things that helped me over the years to keep the strength,recharge me, one by one are gone. Slowness would be okay if I had more weeks out like I used to= but clock is ticking....and then I'll have to wait another year, another year older--twisting my heart. I can handle anything--- Don't mind the aloneness on the road, the long hours of email work or silence in the hotel................when a story is the end result.
MORE SO THAN EVER, PLEASE EMAIL WRITE CALL NATIONAL NEWS. Create a call event....??? Her story, many womens' stories are dying without more exposure. Th
is will become ice, not cold. If yu do write natl, please let me know so I can follow up. 2 people so far, from last post said they did or will. Yes seeking tips but about educating people that all DNA at arrest will do is save lives......I ask so little all year...BUT Thanks to those in Ft Collins who came up, including the infectous disease doc and the man who moved his family to the US from australia and who shed a tear...the young photographer, the mother who lost a daughter to drunk driver. You all made my day
.......my heart hurts
