Cathy was someone I knew years ago.

I did not even know I walked by her house thrice a week.

I also did not know that she was strangled or suffocated there back on March 7.

Murder of the palefaces of my city does not make a big media impression.

I was checking the Baltimore Murder Map, about the only thing The Sun Paper does right, and stumbled upon the blue, teardrop bubble representing her death.

I'm sorry, Cathy.

It's tough enough being an aging man in this city. I can only imagine how it is to be and old woman.
