On Monday, Captain Hanson emailed Amanda's official autopsy report to me. The coroner concluded she died before she was dumped into the Mississippi.

That much I knew already. Cybil one, the Memphis Regulators, zip.

But the report did hold a few surprises.

Amanda had a lack of defensive wounds, indicating that either she was with someone she trusted or was drugged. She had also been raped and what had appeared to be bite marks were on both of her breasts. There was no semen. Most of the physical evidence was lost I guess in the sludge of the Mississippi.

Someone out there raped and killed a sixteen and half year old girl.

I've seen many dead bodies in my somewhat illustrious career. Ripped and mangled, bloated and butchered, but Amanda's haunted me. Children’s deaths bothered me.

They should bother everyone.

I sat Indian fashion on my bed in our rental room, dumping this information into my handheld. Jane's cigarette smoke draped the room in a hazy fog. We lacked a foghog inside the room itself. She scanned the telemonitor, listening to news coverage of the funeral and Amanda's death.
