You can even say she was a child prodigy; however, the only thing Julie wanted in the world was her mother 's love and attention.
On the other hand , the mother viewed Julie as a mistake. Since Julie had long silky black hair, long eyelashes , and was the most caring girl you will ever see, her mother was jealous of all the attention she received from other people.
Julie resembles her mother a lot, but Mary Ann doesn 't think her daughter looks like her. Even though, the mother is older and detailed with wrinkles, Julie thinks her mom is the most beautiful and kind person. "Mommy , can you unlock my door please . I’ve already read all these books in here . I just want to spend time with you. Mmmoooommm, I want to know you better, Mommy," said Julie raising her voice .

She hopes, prays that Julie would wake up and they could live together like a true family, but there is no movement. It isn’t long before an ambulance arrives with its blaring horns. The paramedics try to take Julie from Mary Ann but Mary Ann refuses to let go. “No! I refuse to leave my daughter!” She hugs Julie tight, sobbing and weeping hard, her wails rage out, waking up the neighborhood.
One by one, the lights in the houses on their blocks flicker on, and people in gowns leave the houses and come closer. Some of them peeked through their windows at the blood-covered scene. After hours of weeping and people offering their condolences, Mary Ann cries herself to sleep. During her sleep, the paramedics, who still hadn’t left the scene, unclasped Mary’s hands and took both her and Julie into the van.
Mary Ann awoke the next day and when she examined her situation, she leaped out of her hospital bed. She searched frantically for her daughter’s hospital room, and after a good hour of running, she saw a paramedic leaving a room with the name Julie and crept inside in case Julie was sleeping. She saw Julie’s face and held onto her hand, but froze soon after. Julie’s hand was cold, deathly

    Nearly one month later, on July 10, 1977, Craig’s body was found floating in a nearby strip-mine pond that had already been intensely searched in the first few days and weeks following his disappearance (Flynn, Grace). An autopsy report determined that there was no definite cause of death, but then again authorities had poured fuel on the body at the time of discovery to “kill maggots” supposedly. This move disabled all ability to make determination of cause of death from tissue samples. The sheriff at the time, along with the grand jury, recommended that the case remain open (Flynn, Grace). After several years, Craig Lloyd Graham’s cause of death is still listed as unknown with no new facts or evidence to help find out who committed this terrible crime (“Craig Lloyd Graham”).…
