 TRUE STORY4 murder m/f by ?



   Young bodies slid together as the clothes separating them were slipped
off and dropped to the floor of the car.  The night was warm but the
windows were up to thwart the clouds of mosquitoes that lived in the low
laying ground by the creek.  The lovers lane held only the one car and it
was quiet enough to hear the sounds of nature as well as the impassioned
noises from the back seat.  The two of them were locked in a world of soft
flesh and hard need, driven by the urges of teenaged hormones and their
perceived love for each other.  Their world ended at the limits of the
large back seat and excluded all else.  Full of the wonder of sexual
discovery and feelings that they were sure that no one else had ever
experienced.  It may have been the first time or it may have been the tenth
or even the hundredth for them, we will never know because their private
world was broken and ended when the door of the car was pulled open.  The
dome light came on to illuminate the naked flesh and the shocked faces. 
The scrambling to cover exposed private parts was seen by whoever opened
the door.  He may have enjoyed the scene or he may have been angered.  The
shock on the young faces must have changed to horror and fear when the .45
pistol aimed at them.  They felt the impact of the large heavy slugs
entering their soft tissues, watched the muzzle flash, been hammered by the
blast as it reverberated in the small area, saw the red blossoms explode in
their lover's skin, and helplessly witnessed the fall of the never ending
darkness.  The gun withdrew and the door closed as the echoes of the
gunfire faded.  He walked back to his car leaving the bodies to be found in
the morning by fishermen.

   The raw facts of this crime are few- the bodies of a teenaged couple
were found nude or nearly so in the back seat of the boy's family's car. 
They had been shot to death by a .45 auto pistol.  There was no sign of a
struggle.  All the evidence pointed to a surprise intrusion and a quick
shooting.  The girl's father was reported to have been upset over the
relationship and did own a .45 pistol.  The gun was never reported tested
for ballistics nor was it even found until the father used it to commit
suicide a week or so after the murders.  The investigation basically ended
at that point as far as the public was concerned.  There were stories that
the father had followed the two lovers and had killed them in a fit of
anger over his little girl being used that way.  This take on things was
accepted by members of the local law enforcement community at the time and
may very well be the case.  Lovers lanes seem to have lost much of their
usefulness lately.  Back when this happened [late 60s] it was common for
every lane to have at least one car parked in the dark.  The old boats had
huge back seats that made reasonable beds and many a girl surrendered her
virginity in the back seat of her boyfriend's car.  Needless to say this
one screwed up the use of the lanes for a while.
