They called it the Belle Center murder. A tragic murder. A little girl who will never be able to see her grandmother. I never got to meet my grandma because she was killed when my mom was 11. It was the Belle Center murder they called it. I hear my grandma was as sweet,caring and beautiful as mom says . I've seen pictures of her and she is very pretty and beautiful.

Hearing about my grandma  makes me sad that i never got to meet her but i know she got taken from us by a selfish man. The case just closing 3 years ago. They found the man who did it but couldn't arrest him because it happened so long ago they had no new evidence. I go to her grave every now and then so i can talk to her because i feel like she is still with us. We take  flowers to her every spring. The newspaper people just stopped asking us about her and what happen. They say i got my looks from her. But if you have ever seen my mom, I, look just like her. A Lot of people say I do. I wish i could meet her just to see if it's true.

My mom says grandma is still with us,as in her spirit. Do you believe in ghost or your family spirits? because I do. I feel like my grandma is still with us. When i have a bad day and i'm sitting in my room talking, I feel like she's sitting there next to me listening to me. If i haven't said her name yet it's Tootie     Mullet. Unfortunately they may not be able to use to evidence they already had from another criminal prosecution of Terry Lowe 72 of Lima Ohio (the man who killed my grandma).

30 years later after the murder people still mourn on July 5th because we lost a wonderful person. Including myself because i know i lost a wonderful not only grandma but a figure that could have helped me throughout my life. I lost a grandma i will never get to meet. I now will never forget the date July 5th, 1986.
